I wonder what events will transpire that will shape our world by this time next year.

There will be a new FIFA World Cup champion unless Argentina does the unthinkable.

No doubt regime change somewhere. Probably a massive cyber event that cripples critical infra. A magnitude 8+ earthquake in a populated area?

Maybe the hand of God will help them out again. ;)

Is it really unthinkable that Argentina could defend successfully?


Okay, not unthinkable but I would think it is very difficult. I'm hoping a country who has never won a WC to be champions this year. Croatia and Netherlands have done well in the last few. Cape Verde and Curaçao have also never won.


Messi was already old 4 years ago, now he's bordering retirement, will probably play half games or pull a lesion.
