[Marvanelli]

Champions - Spain
The dark horses - Denmark
Biggest underachievers - Brazil
️ Top scorer - Kane
Most assists - Messi
Breakout star - Skov Olsen

How are people saying Leao/Musiala/Gavi/Vini Jr for breakout star? All 4 are well known.

I'd even say Gakpo is well known too...he's been linked with some big clubs and Utd for a while now.

Germany will win the WC again. Holland will reach the semis. Dark horses Canada.

We are going to get plenty of strange results and shocks. Vinicius ajnr top scorer. Assists king will be Saka. Biggest under schievers Argentina.

Yes, I chose Gakpo and thought even he was on the cusp. But Vini Jr is def not a breakout star, he was pivotal in Real Madrid winning the CL!

Olsen is a good shout.

Yeah I'd say Vini Jr is definitely not a breakout star, but you could argue the rest are not definitely household names... yet, although those who pay attention to European football will know them well.

Denmark's Daamsgard was arguably the 2020 Euros breakout star, but he's been cr@p for Brentford hasn't he.

 

[Marvanelli]

Yeah, Vini Jr is definitely not a breakout star.

Even Gavi isn't. He just won the Kopa, whilst Musiala just came 3rd for the 2nd consecutive year.

I wouldn't say Leao is either, he's the best player at one of Europe's top clubs.

Gavi is young I suppose.

Moukoko is doing well for Dortmund but as he’s only 17 and first tournament etc he would defiently class as a breakout star. If he gets much game time anyway

I hope you're right about Moukoko because he's been excellent for Dortmund.

Not sure he'll get much game time for Germany, but personally I think he should. He's currently performing a lot better than Havertz for a start!

So is Skov Olsen!

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

England to surprise people and reach at least the semis. Saka break out star. Messi for assists. France to go out in the groups. Wales to qualify for the second phase. Argentina favourites IMO. Maybe Darwin Nunez or Kane for top scorer.

 

[Marvanelli]

So is Skov Olsen!

Skov Olsen is not very well known, certainly not as well known as Musiala! And who's he been linked with? He's only just signed for Brugge earlier this year from Bologna.

 

[BobUpnDown]

Would we class Leao as a breakout? He's pretty well known.

I did think that, & agree.. though breakout in as much he's still young: 23..

Bellingham could be a breakout star, tho for me he's already England's best midfield player..

 

[ConcourseColin]

Break out star is a very loose term seeing as most people have heard of the majority of players that will expect to have plenty of pitch time to influence games for nations expected to do well, Vinny Jr is just my pick to have a blinding tournament.

 

[parmoboy]

Can we class Jude Bellingham as a breakout star? Feels like he should be considering his age.

Either way, I think he will have a big tournament.

 

[allied_assault]

Champions - Germany
The dark horses - Uruguay
Biggest underachievers - Brazil
️ Top scorer - Benzema
Most assists - Foden
Breakout star - Bellingham

He won Seria A player of the year, last season didnt he?

 

[Cecil J McTumshie]

Champions - Brazil
The dark horses -Germany
Biggest underachievers -England
️ Top scorer -Jesus
Most assists -Gotze
Breakout star -Musiala

 

[atypical_boro]

I do have one prediction I'm very confident on, it will be won by either Spain, Germany or England. I'm not saying they're the 3 countries who'll go further, or that all 3 will be in the last 4, but one of those 3 will hold the trophy aloft. Let's see if I'm right.
