What about Belgium: Belgium is the perfect replacement love for us Swiss. If such a small country (eleven million inhabitants) is a sensation at the World Cup, it must be a pleasure for us.

The land in the far north known for strong girls like Pippi Longstocking. Even on the football field, the descendants of the Vikings do not kill anything. As the trees, the "Blågult", the "Blaugoldenen" are eliminated on the field and eliminate the opponents: In the World Cup qualifiers, the Scandinavians crush Italy and the Netherlands in tears.

Daniel Walt, Editor online, feverish with Russia and France
What speaks for Russia: They mourn Stalin. They get drunk early in the morning with vodka. And in the hotels of this world, they are impossible to behave. Who likes Russians? Certainly, the USSR, nicknamed the American President Reagan as "evil empire", was responsible for many atrocities in the history of the twentieth century. And everything is not going well in modern Russia. But where does he do it, except perhaps in Switzerland (and who is excreted)? Russia, but it is not only Lenin, Stalin and Putin – Russia, it is also Dostoevsky, it is the most moving national anthem and the most beautiful women in the world . And these are churches with golden roofs and the Red Square in Moscow. Therefore, the Sbornaja, as the national team in Russia is called, can certainly go very far in this tournament – even in the title.

What is talking for France: Russian World Champion? It would be a dream. However, a valid alternative would also be France. The self-proclaimed "Grande Nation" is unfortunately no longer as great as it was, and even the new hopeful of the presidential office, Emmanuel Macron, has again lost popularity to his compatriots. More French are enthusiastic with their "team tricolor". Enthusiastic, Didier Deschamps' troop offensive against Argentina in the round of 16. 20 years after the title of the World Cup in their own country again a French summer fairy tale, this time in Russia?

hopes for Croatia
What speaks for Croatia : The expectations of the Croats for their national heroes are great. For the first time in 20 years, the "Vatreni" (the Fiery), as called the players of the national team, reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup. "This generation deserves it," say several. The team around Captain Luka Modric must put an end to the eternal comparisons with the heroes of the years '98 – at the time with Davor Suker, Boban and Co. -. In 1998, Croatia finished the World Cup in third place.
If it is not now, when, say the followers. The chances for the golden generation certainly could not be greater. With players like Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic, Danijel Subasic, Dejan Lovren or Ante Rebic, the team has a world class format. Speed, power, gameplay and team spirit characterize the team. The quality, to create big is there, for the title it only takes three wins. Iznad svih, Hrvatska! – Hopp Croatia!
