Hello everyone! World Cup starts tomorrow and here is my first official entry. Some notes:
Mbappe is now going to be the focal point with Benzema out for the World Cup after picking up an injury. France have Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia in their group. While they haven’t played Australia or Tunisia, they played Denmark in September and Mbappe had FOUR shots on target. He also had 3 against Austria and 2 against Croatia. He’s averaging 2 shots on target for PSG. France has a lot of issues, but I see them at least playing 4-5 games and him hitting this line.
Pulisic is in a tough spot, which is exactly why I like him. The man has found himself on the bench at Chelsea, is in one of the toughest WC groups, and the US didn’t make the World Cup 4 years ago when he nearly carried them there himself. He is a man on a mission and the US offense runs through him. He takes free kicks and penalties as well. I see him getting at least 1 shot on target per game, even with a tough group. The biggest concern is that the squad has not put in a great performance recently. But with their backs against the wall, Pulisic will step up.
