1. Brazil to be crowned champion on Asian soil. Predicted long ago, no change.
2. Neymar to be golden boot winner. Not Messi nor Kane nor Mbappe.
3. Morocco/Tunisia to be dark horse due to favourable climatic factors. They will knock out either France/Denmark and Croatia out of Group Stage.
4. None of South Korea or Japan will progress beyond Group Stage.
5. Expect red card/ penalty to be awarded in Qatar's favour during Group Stage games. Beware.
6. Winning continent will be South America, not Europe.
7. England to disappoint this World Cup, plagued by multiple injuries to key players and fatigue from EPL/UCL games. High chance to be knocked out in R16, or QF if lucky enough.
