Sorare World Cup Special - Part 4

The final two groups for the Qatar World cup also deserve an overview. And not only because the biggest favorite for the title is in it. Brazil. I've looked at some bookie's websites and Brazil has got the best odds. Brazil, Argentina, England, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Serbia, and Morocco all finished World Cup qualifying undefeated.

The Group stage:

Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon.

Did you know that Brazil, Serbia, and Switzerland also played in the same group at the previous World Cup? Brazil and Switzerland advanced to the knock-out.

As always Brazil, number one on the world ranking, is a huge favorite to win the trophy, having the highest winning rate among the bookies. But let's not forget the Selecao has struggled at recent World Cups, losing when it mattered most. They have two world-class goalkeepers at their disposal Alisson (Liverpool) as the first choice and Ederson (Man City) as a backup. Nobody will be shocked if they add their sixth star in December.

Cameroon is back. One of the reasons I love the World Cup is because of teams like Cameroon. Players from all over the world, heaps of raw talent, colorful kits, scissor tackles left and right, and amazing goal celebrations. African teams are always dangerous. They play with heart and love for the sport. Their goalkeeper should be Onana (Inter), I do say should be, as Onana is currently on the bench for Handanovic (Inter). There isn't much quality behind Onana so I don't see much reason to doubt his starting position. A very challenging group means an early exit may be in store.

Serbia was unbeaten in a tough qualifying group which also included Portugal. I suspect them as being underrated. The creativity and flair of experienced Dusan Tadic (Ajax) will likely pose problems for their opponents, while there are also other attacking options in Fulham's legend Aleksandar Mitrovic, Vlahovic (Juventus) and Luka Jovic (Fiorentina). Their goalkeeper situation seems unclear, with Rajkovic (Mallorca), and Dmitrovic (Sevilla) in the balance. It could be the best Serbia team in years with an incredible technical ability in the middle and strong, powerful attackers up top.

Switzerland surprised everyone as they finished first in their qualifying group before Italy. A defensive fortress, conceding only two goals, with veteran Yann Sommer (Borussia Mönchengladbach) in goal and Mvogo (Lorient) and Gregor Kobel (Dortmund) as a strong back-ups and obvious talent in the attacking positions with Xhaka (Arsenal), Shaqiri (Chicago Fire), Embolo (Monaco), and Haris Seferovic (Galatasaray).

The attacking force of Serbia vs the fortress of Switzerland is a must-see game.

Our prediction:

David: 1. Brazil, 2. Switzerland,3. Cameroon, 4. Serbia.

Tom: 1. Brazil, 2. Switzerland, 3. Serbia, 4. Cameroon.

Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea.
