While Mbappe is lightening fast and an amazing talent, I don't agree he is the best player in the world.
How far France goes will depend upon how group D goes. Number 2 will meet Argentina in the group of 16.

Who else has the TV on ready for the opening ceremony now? Any going to a bar on a Sunday morning? LOL
England are notorious for losing on penalties, but they also have the Achilles heel of not being able to win against big nations. The only 2 top nations they’ve beat in normal time in the last 20 years were Argentina in 2002, and Germany last year.
Other than that they either lose in normal time, or play to a stalemate then lose on penalties. That’s why the round of 16 win against Germany was so shocking to me last year.

Who will win the World Cup?
Alan Shearer: Argentina. It will be a great way for Lionel Messi, the best player in the world, to go out. It could be a defining moment for him - he has probably been the greatest player we have ever seen, but the thing that is always chucked at him when comparisons are made between him and Diego Maradona is that he has never won the World Cup. If he was to win this one, that would pretty much be the end of that debate - and what a story it would be.
Micah Richards: It's Brazil for me. I understand why there is a buzz about Argentina, but this is Neymar's time to shine. He scored eight goals in qualifying and has taken his game to the next level this season. There is the weight of the nation on his shoulders and he has to deal with what Brazil expect from him, but he will be the star of the show.
Chris Sutton: France are the holders and have arguably got the best forward line with Karim Benzema and his Ballon d'Or, Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, even Antoine Griezmann too. Yes, they have got some injuries in midfield, but they have got two young stars in Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga of Real Madrid who are already absolutely top class. It's not an exact science but when you think of France at World Cups, they are either all in or all out. This time? I'm saying they will be all in. If they click like they did in Russia, why not?
Alex Scott: I am going with Brazil. Their squad has a great blend of experience with exciting and in-form young players who could have great tournaments, like Vinicius Jr. Neymar is in great form too and, with every team having so little preparation time before the tournament to get key organisation right, it could come down to individual brilliance to settle some games.

The English team were greeted by these “fake fans” struggling to belt out It’s coming home.

Didn't do setup here, but I believe you need to setup your VPN to location being in England. Sorry, I can't help further I'm not very tech savvy. LOL
I'm streaming for free. The European feeds are good. https://worldcup.soccerstreams.net/
Same for France... They got greeted by kylian mbappoue!!The English team were greeted by these “fake fans” struggling to belt out It’s coming home.
I signed up for the TSN app for 1 month like I did for the last Euros. $20 to watch all the matches is well worth it. At least they added a Roku app so I can stream the matches on my TV this time. Last time I was limited to watching on my iPad or laptop.Which broadcasts will you be watching? I'm sticking to TSN and BBC. I will be avoiding the American broadcast from FOX network.
