Should Neymar Be At The World Cup & Why England Will Disappoint | SI FC
Two Italians and an Algerian-Canadian-American sit in a studio and talk about the World Cup… No it’s not the start of a bad joke, it’s this week’s show. Italy won’t be there but SI FC will be - in less than 30 days!! Lyes Bouzidi, Luca Dallolio, and Alessandro Eremiti run through a host of questions: Who will make the final? Who wins the golden boot? The surprise package? The biggest disappointment? Is there something missing in the French squad? Is England’s squad coming in a little cold? Will Neymar be there? Can Cristiano Ronaldo successfully navigate his last dance? Will Lionel Messi be able to have the same effect in the States as he did in Qatar? Where will the USMNT get to? And the most important of all: what is the best World Cup ball of all time?
