I found myself rooting for ENG even though I had Croatia, France, and Morocco on paper.
I have penciled in a 2018 rematch of France and Croatia. But I think any of the final possibilities can be exciting.
Morocco vs Croatia is probably the least interesting to me.
Argentina vs Croatia will definitely be David vs Goliath
Argentina vs France has some of the Old Gen (Messi and Di Mara) vs New Gen (Mbappe and Dembele) vibe.
Croatia really isnt an underdog they just are viewed that way because Brazil, France, England, and Belgium were so highly touted. (Remember Croatia topped the nations league Group A1 over Denmark, Austria, and France)
In the finals I have Croatia getting the better of France this go around. I think Morocco is going to drain France's energy.
Anything with Argentina will be the swan song for this generation.
After this World Cup we could easily lose a golden era worth of players from FIFA cup play...
- Messi
- CR7
- Di Mara
- T. Silva

- Giroud
- Lewandowski
- Muller
