The Best France Team Ever? World Cup Predictions, Neymar Debate and Our Favorite Memories

from Sports Illustrated FC · host Sports Illustrated

With less than 75 days until the World Cup kicks off, the crew breaks down everything you need to know heading into the tournament. France looked scary good with two convincing wins over Brazil and Colombia, but can Deschamps finally get his superstars to click? The guys get heated over Carlo Ancelotti's decision to leave Neymar out of the Brazil squad, and debate whether Argentina can go back to back with an aging Messi. Plus, Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal continues to look like the real deal, England still feels like something's missing under Tuchel, and the US men's national team has fans worried after a 5-2 loss to Belgium. The episode also features a fun league vs. league showdown picking all-star XIs for the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A, and the guys share their earliest World Cup memories, favorite goals, and which football legends they'd compare themselves to. Who's winning the World Cup? Luca says Spain, Lyes says France.
