Singapore group what?

Wc has always been won by either europe or south america leh.

Plus the 5 term cycle not true. If you include 94, you have brazil breaking the "cycle"

My guess is one of south american to win. Hoping it will be argentina but brazil is the likelier winner

Let us look at last 5 World Cup Winners:

1998 - France
2002 - Brazil
2006 - Italy
2010 - Spain
2014 - Germany

From this pattern, this year 2018 winner will either be a european country or a south america country. And the winner will not come from the five previous winners as mentioned above. The cycle won't repeat. So that's my prediction.

dont worry. i know singtel will win the rights will most prob a 0.5 billion dollar deal.

then sub the rights to starhub. force starhub to sell same price as singtel.

then singtel will make sinkie pay 100 bucks to watch world cup.

to reduce the impact, they will say pay 80 bucks per month for a 2 year contract for mio stadium.

u heard it here first.

Based on Euro 2016, you can subscribe to Eleven Sports itself, or thru Toggle, Singtel or StarHub under a separate Euro package
