I personally think the 4 semi finalists are nailed on if they all win their groups.

Germany v Spain and Brazil v France ( 33/1 with SkyBet )

I know Argentina and Belgium have the players to upset anyone but Martinez couldn't manage a piss up in a brewery and Argentina's side just looks so unbalanced.

Danny Rose speaks out about racism in Russia and the authorities lack of action. Good on him imo:

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...orld-cup-2018-over-racism-fears-a3856701.html

England’s Danny Rose has revealed he told his heartbroken family not to come to the World Cup over fears they would be racially abused in Russia.

The Tottenham defender says he feels numb to racism and helpless to prevent it and has slammed FIFA’s latest punishment as “disgusting” and “laughable”.

Russian football has been marred by incidents of racism for years, most recently when FIFA fined their football union £22,000 for racist chanting aimed at France players when the countries played in March. France’s 3-1 friendly win was played at the Krestovsky Stadium in St Petersburg, one of the venues for this summer’s finals.

The people I really feel sorry for is his parents. They won't get many opportunities to see their son play at a World Cup but with the real potential of openly racist fans it's a risk to go.

That's the greatest mystery in football today. How he's playing anywhere else than the Belgian second league.

The government are warning fans not to go. It still makes me scratch my head that one of the worlds pariah nations was chosen to host the worlds biggest event. Racist, homophobic, hooligans etc. Just can’t get excited about this World Cup :grumpy:
