football toilet | Which of the quarterfinals will go for the grail of football? Experts trust France more!

On one side of the tournament spider, the quartet made up of France, England, Morocco and Portugal will compete for a place in the final, on the other side Brazil, Croatia, Argentina and the Netherlands. Pairs for the quarter-finals are formed in exactly the order listed.

“For me, the final will be between France and Brazil,” says Bohemians Praha midfielder Jan Morávek, who spent 13 years in Germany. “All eight teams play excellent football, so it’s very difficult to make predictions. I would like a final for each of them. If I have to say who will become the world champion, I’m betting on one of the Brazil – France pairings. more to France,” adds Milan Fukal, a former defender of Sparta and the Czech national team.

However, it is France who have the toughest opponent on paper in the quarter-finals: England. “Since the beginning of the championship I have said that England have a very good young squad. But in my opinion France have the most compact and balanced squad in the tournament. When they come on at full power, they have enormous power,” observed Morávek. “I think France is better overall,” adds Fukal.

Morávek and Fukal see striker Kylian Mbappé as the decisive French factor. “He’s the one who will make the difference in close matches – says Fukal – His qualities are enormous. When I see the numbers at his age… He also leaves behind Messi and Ronaldo, which is really hard. If Mbappé keeps the l “performance bar, he will break the records of Messi and Ronaldo, which we thought would never be surpassed. But France also have a great backside, the stoppers Upamecano and Varane are fantastic,” notes Morávek, according to whom the Portuguese also doesn’t it would stop France in the eventual semi-finals.

“They have a very interesting team. They overcame the Swiss in style. I really like Rafael Leao, Real Madrid will definitely jump for him. And also the discovery of Ramos, who scored a hat-trick in the round of 16. If the first goal was his weakest leg, so I’ve never seen a Serie B player like that. I positively evaluate the move by coach Santos, who put Ronaldo on the bench. Also Cancela, who at the moment is said to be the best in the world in his role. He had the courage to take these steps, they have worked very well for him”, appreciates Morávek, adding that he was not so surprised by the elimination of the Spaniards from Morocco.

“I suspected the Spaniards might be bored. But the game presented was very defensive, not nice. He parked the bus like the Greeks did at the European Championships eighteen years ago,” adds the Klokanù midfielder.

“The Moroccans defended themselves too much. But the tactic worked for them, they are in the quarter-finals. But Argentina, I expect, will be beyond their strength,” adds Fukal, who sees a clear Brazil-Argentina semi-final on the opposite side of the spider. “It will be decided by the little things. the Brazilians in the final, they will come to me with a better game and psychological well-being,” thinks Fukal. “However, I have more faith in France as world champions,” concludes Fukal.
