You don't promise air conditioned outdoor stadiums, bribe FIFA, build all these stadia and infrastructure to not get a win when everyone's watching. Qatar has a team that's worth watching and will most likely not look overmatched and just like the Buckeye and Wolverine games yesterday, there's going to be an obvious referee decision at an important time that goes to the side that the organizers need.

Qatar +265
Qatar 1-0 +700

I thought the same thing and thought maybe Qatar would get the draw.

Turns out no matter how disgusting the Qatar gov't is, and how corrupt FIFA is..........Qatar just flat out sucks.

Qatar was lucky they only lost by two goals:facepalm:

Somebody forgot to tell Valencia…..better things ahead for Qatar and my picks

0-2 -2 units
Wondered how England would look without sterling causing havoc on backlines in the last 3 major tourneys and now that he’s out of form, we will see. I think Iran has enough quality to mask things difficult

iran +1.5 -120

Netheands looking great and always starts tournaments brilliantly. A lot for Senegal to figure out wothout Sane.

Netherlands -165

Wales knows exactly who they are and will be patient and wait. They’re well organized and Bale always shows up in thr biggest moments. I think the US inexperience will be a problem and think they’ll br frustrated and get hit on a set piece or a counter…maybe both

Wales +245

I think Groups A & B will be tricky before the group stage is over but it played out exactly to form.

I don't think there's much drama to be had in Groups C & D. Mexico always comes into the world cup with drama and uncertainty but this time looks worse than most.

Argentina/Saudi's over 2.5 -140
Denmark -170
Poland +190

This tourney is zigging when I'm zagging so I may have to wait until 2026, but gonna press on for a little bit more.

Costa Rica looked dead in Concacaf until they went on to win 6 of last 7. This side is getting old, but their style doesn't need much pace and will still defend even when they are down. Canuck strengths of speed and unity are everything that Belgium lack. If De Bruyne is up for it, he can be unplayable but he doesn't seem all that interested in the national side anymore.

Germany -205
Spain/Costa Rica under 2.5 +130
Canada +1.5 -160
