or at least as serious as I can be.... if I were a betting man, (I'm not), I'd bet on Brazil.
Unfortunately I don't get the opportunity to see many of these teams.... England yes, Germany, France, Spain... LOT of Mexico... and Brazil.... I have seen the most. Frankly, Brazil seems to be in a class of their own this time around... based on what I've seen... which isn't really all that much, TBH.
England I have 'read' about the most. The 'general' perception of their chances, from sources in England, seem perfectly aligned with your views.
I know nothing of Russia.... but big win today to open things up. - JamesJM
