Soccercito - Modelo Tier Ranking

The United States is one of the biggest investigations in the world

USA! USA! We took the train. I think he rode on an eagle

You gotta be a good actor to be a soccer cedo. Welcome back to soccer cedo, presented by Modelo, the cerveza for football

Today, we're making a World Cup contender tier list. Can these nations make a run for the World Cup trophy, or are they frauds

England's the first one. I don't want to say fraud. I want to be mean

Yeah. That's my instinct. Because they're mean-ass. They are mean to us. I agree

I think many will say favorites, but I disagree. And I think you guys are on the same page

I also disagree. I think they've had a great qualifying, but qualifying out of Europe. Oh, you beat Liechtenstein 8-0

What a shock. I will say contender. I'm with contender on that one. Contender feels right

Because I would even say that the English would not put themselves as favorites. No, they would

No, they would do it. They would do it in conversation with us, but they wouldn't do it in conversation with themselves

Or they would do it ironically. It's not coming home contender. No, it's not coming home yet

Yeah, I mean, they have class names everywhere. I mean, that front three would be a Kane, Saka

and then who would be on the left? They'll probably be... Does it matter? I mean, they got Thomas Tuchel

They went undefeated. Bellingham, Declan Rice, that team is late. They almost have too much talent

Palmer. They almost have too much talent figuring out a way to put it together. But do they have the heart

No. Do they have the mental forward? Do they have the American dream? I don't think they have that problem

You know what else they don't have? The ability to score penalties. Yeah, exactly. So, we're going to go America

USA! Yeah! United States. Oh, my goodness. Dark horse. Favorite. Let's be real

Dark horse. I would say long shot. I mean, long shot to win it

Yeah. The long shot. But here's the thing. Remember when the last World Cup, Morocco went on a run

Yeah. And they were fun. You think America would be the Morocco of this World Cup

I feel like they have a chance. Okay. Especially with the way the group stage popped out for them in the draw. Fair. Fair

I think they have a chance to be a fun team that people can follow once their nation is knocked out

So I think we go dark horse, not to win it, but to do well

What does dark horse even mean? Does dark horse mean to go and be the dark horse of winning it or dark horse to make it far

If it's to make it somewhat far in the competition, I can follow you there. I'll put USA there

All right. Dark horse for the USA. Portugal. Si! Fraud! I'm not even saying this

As someone who admires Ronaldo But even if you take out Ronaldo They're a favorite

Well they won't allow him Right? Didn't he get a red card For three matches And they're putting him Back in the game

He had conversations with Tron Yeah yeah yeah Shut up He's like Ballroom

Yeah it seems like You got a lot of room For balls You gotta do what you gotta do You gotta do what you gotta do Listen

That midfield I think they have the best Midfield in the world By the way Vitinha for me

He'll never do it But that should be the Ballroom That's what I'm saying though He is such an incredible player

Up top you got a bunch of Leal, Jean-Felix. You can go..

Two players. They definitely play to the top of their performance every year. Pedro Neto

Amazing. Then you got Ruben Diaz in the back. Jean-Consell. I think for me, even if you don't want

to put Ronaldo as a starting strike, I think he's going to play. Their favorite. I'll go with you

Not as a favorite. I'll go with them as a contender. If you admit that the team plays

better without Ronaldo. No comment. I'm going to say favorite. They don't play better

without Ronaldo. All right? They know. They know. Then I'm going contender

Come on. If Portugal's not a favorite, who's a favorite? There's other nations we're going to get to

I'm going to say favorite. He's going to say contender. What are you going to say? Look at the game against Ireland that they just lost

where he got the red. Throw them bones. My Ronaldo army, I want favorite

They want contender. We say contender. You didn't admit. I would have given it to you. No, they're better with Ronaldo

I would have given it to you. It's a favorite. The stubbornness. That's fine

The stubbornness. He's going to be 80 years old. They're going to say, get him out there. Quants

France. Quants. Favorite. Favorite. I mean, we can't. How much of a debate is this

France is his favorite. Obviously, you know, won the World Cup. Two World Cups ago

No Griezmann. Ah, but it's fine. Nah, he was like 12 replacements

Yeah, they're fine. Okay, but he was so essential for them in the midfield. They have the best striker in the world right now

He can do it against everybody but Saltavigo. Damn. Damn. Those are the most of the Vigo

Those are the most of the Vigo. How many red cards? I think they should get another red card. If you listen to those of them

And they should get a red card, too, at the end of the game. Any place besides favorite for a country that just won the World Cup

2018. And was in the final in the last one. And was in the final in the last one. Yeah. Although, I hope Pogba gets in the squats

That would be crazy. The vibes would be incredible. Yeah, unbelievable. What was that

That's one of the best songs ever. One of the greatest vibes ever. Brazil

Brazil, Brazil, Brazil. Let's go. I put my obviously in the fraud list very quickly

They long shot for me, to be honest with you. Long shot? Long shot? Yeah. Listen, listen, I'm very critical to Celestan

We're not where we need to be. But if Neymar gets back, healthy Neymar gets back in there

we can get cooking. Isn't he right now playing with a blown MCL? He just helped Santos not get relegated

So now he's going to go into surgery and try to prepare for the World Cup. He's a real one. I want to say contender

Now, you guys may disagree. Come on, they have class names all around. I think they could be a contender

It's hard to consider them a dark horse because they are Brazil. They can never be a dark horse

Brazil cannot be a dark horse. But contender, you had to have qualified better. Yeah. What did they finish in? Fourth

5th 4th or 5th Yeah not great Martinelli still getting in your squad No he not No he not He doesn start though He doesn start Hey Martinelli been doing good at Arsenal Yeah off the bench I an Arsenal fan Exactly

Arsenal. You know what I mean? He comes off the bench. Dark Horse feels too harsh

Contender feels maybe like it's not fully deserved. I feel like it's too much

I feel like we're closer to Contender than Longshot, for example. I'm willing to go. I'm saying Dark Horse

No, no. Give me Contender. Fine. I'm willing to go Contender for Brazil. Any other place feels a little uncomfortable

Although, I still feel like Walsh was right. Yeah, we'll do it again. Mexico

Mexico! Are they putting it together? I mean, it's just so much drama

We just saw the post-match interview with Raul Jimenez. And he's just like saying like, this is why we play our games in the U.S

Because they're mad at their own fans. The fans are mad at them

Dude, the chant gets them in trouble. Yeah, there's just so much drama

And you got beef with your own fans. Yeah, I think it's one of the bottom of the Wolves fans. I don't know if you guys saw that

Yeah. With Mexico, it feels weird to put them below the U.S. as a long shot

They should be a dark horse. They should be a dark horse. But because of all the drama around the team

I put the Mourke Pornhub's bottom two, guys. It has to be a long shot or a fraud. They're not fraud. I don't think they're fraud

They're not fraud. We haven't defined fraud yet. They're one of the hosts. True. They're one of the hosts

At the very least, you're a long shot as a host. Yeah, long shot feels a little bit better

Argentina. That is a favorite. Favorite? It's favorite or contender. You have to pick one of the two

Contender. No, it's a favor. It's not a favor. Listen, Messi's not going to play like he did in that last World Cup

It doesn't matter. Tell me how they've gotten worse. I'll tell you how they got worse. One of the key pieces, DePaul, now kind of settling back in MLS

We got also Messi. That's not a downgrade. What are you talking about? Why are you doing it? Because he just won MLS Cup and he scored in the MLS Cup final

And he's going to have a rush leg. I was there. You watched the game, man. I win his greatness. I can't lie

He saved his legs. And then Messi in the interview said, we'll see if I'll even go to the World Cup

Do you guys see that? He said, I'll even go. Nah, he's just trying to spice it up. He is. He does that

He's trying to sell it. My point is, the things Messi was doing that last World Cup, I can't see him doing it this

World Cup. But he might shut me up again. Yeah, he's still Messi. Yeah. I think favorite is kind of crazy

I would say contender. But if you guys both say favorite, what can I do? They won the last one

They're the reigning contender. Ronaldo Army, I'm trying here. I'm trying. The man is literally a paid propagandist now

Could you imagine how bad the room smells where the Ronaldo Army is sitting here

No, no, no. Axe body spray everywhere. To be fair, though, as a Brazilian, I just don't

Argentina. I get it. I get it. My skin. Norway. Norway. I'm going to say. Favorite

Favorite. No. No. Get out of here, man. Bro, they looked insane in quality

You're going to disrespect the sanctity of the tier list by saying that they

Norway, our favorite. France, Argentina, Norway. Yeah, yeah. Say that now until the world comes up

Get out of here. And then you will be eating your words. Like I will be eating popcorn and drinking them all day long

On our show, I had said Norway's a dark horse. But I'm going to even, for this list that we're making right now

I feel even more comfortable with the long shot right here. Meaning it's worse

Meaning it's worse. Crazy. I agree with that. I would say it's between dark horse and��

Sorbo, Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard. The team is not strong enough compared to these other teams

I agree with long shot. Long shot. No, long shot's crazy. At least give me dark horse. No

In what world would someone say, yeah, Norway have a chance and we're in the world? No

Erling Haaland. It's a long shot. Martin Odegaard and Sorla. If it was the Euros, I would be like, I would say Dark Horse

The Euros are even harder. The Euros are harder than a 48-team or a cup

This is at least a Dark Horse. You guys are wildly undermining Norway

The Commonwealth teams, Norway is going to have a much, much bigger problem

This is democracy. I say long shot. Long shot. There we go. Long shot. Just chugging wrong rim

Thank you very much. You're crazy. The form he's in. Ecuador. Ecuador

Dark Horse. Dark Horse. Dark Horse. Modelo is the cerveza for football

Having been rooted in football culture for over 30 years, they are continuing to bring their passion to football culture

If you want to bring the same passion to your next football watch-along party, pick up a Modelo

Japan. Japan. Nipon. Really fun team to watch. Super techie. Not a dark horse

It feels like a long shot to me. Germany. Germany's been underwhelming in these last couple World Cups

I feel disrespectful saying it, but it would be a dark horse for me. No, that's crazy

Germany just is a perpetual contender. But they just haven't been looking scary at all

I completely disagree. I think since Nagelmann took over, they've solidified a national team that was in disarray

The amount of sheer talent that they have, I'm comfortable saying they're at least a contender

To put Germany at a dark horse is they're going through one of the worst stretches in their history

And they're not. So they're at least a contender. Contender feels right

I mean, Dark Horse feels too insulting to such a strong team

But looking at those top six teams now that we have there, I think Germany is the least likely to win the World Cup out of those six

That's my opinion. I think you're smoking. I kind of agree with you there. Colombia

That's a fraud. No, this is going to be long shot. Long shot at mess

I'm going to say Dark Horse. I can see Dark Horse. I think long shot. Aren't we all in the same way

I'm disrespecting them because they got third in South America for a contender. So Colombia is a strong team but I feel like in the last few World Cups it just mistakes There always heartbreak penalties or something I don think they have a strong enough team Dude James Rodriguez just becomes a vibe when he puts on the Columbia shirt

If he's in the squad, this could be his last run. We're going to be like, I think he still got it

Maybe he should go back to Everton. Matty's saying about Messi that he doesn't think he's going to be able to do what he did in the last World Cup at this one

James is a player. I don't know. I have no idea what to expect. I don't know which Hamez is going to show up, gamer Hamez or game time Hamez

International Hamez is like levels above quote level Hamez. I don't know what happens

Something about playing for your country, but he actually cares. He cares. I'm going to go with Dark Horse

I'm willing to go Dark Horse. I'm going Dark Horse as well. Switzerland. What are we thinking? I think we might have our first fraud on our hands

If we have to put like, looking at everything, we might have to put in the first fraud right now

Because I don't even see them as a long shot. No. My most recent memory is them smacking the US 4-0 in a frenzy

Keep the head in mind. But outside of that, I can't see them really doing much of anything

Here's the thing. They have quality on the pitch, right? Schalke's playing extremely well at Sunderland

He's playing well in the Premier League, even at his age. I think he's doing incredible well, probably a leader

Fine, you've got some talent, but do you have the talent to really make a scene in the World Cup

I don't think so. With this logic, you guys are saying that Mexico, Norway, and Japan have a better chance of winning a World Cup

Because the vibes, man. I'll take that. We have to put up fraud eventually

Also, you're also saying that. You're part of this group. Don't put it on us

I feel like fraud is harsh, but if we have to do it, it has to be. I mean, yes, we have a lot of fans in Switzerland

Longshot seems even so generous. They qualified in UEFA, but obviously they won their group

But their group was Kosovo. Kosovo. Two other nations that used to be part of Kosovo

Yeah, it was like it. It was kind of an easier journey and path to the World Cup

They basically beat Delaware, Rhode Island, and Hawaii. The Switzerland army is looking after you

Be careful. I don't even think they have an army. They're mountains. Uruguay. I'm not that worried

Uruguay. Another fraud. I'm half Uruguay. I'm willing to say it. I don't know, man

Bielsa. The players seem to be anti-Bielsa. Something's going on there. It's not looking comfortable

The gods of old are no longer there. Can they put it together? They still have talent

They still have the charra-garrua. You know what I mean? The charrua-garra-charrua

Whatever it's called. One of those two. He knows half of the words. Yeah, yeah

You've got the spirit of the people that never give up by whoever you want

I get all that. All those things cannot put you in fraud. And I'm sorry. No, no

Here's why it's fraud. Everyone thinks of them as being the best, one of the best coming out of South America

I think they're going to show when it comes to the World Cup. In order to win a World Cup, everything has to be in harmony from the top to bottom

And right now, they don't have that harmony. They have the talent. They have the skill. But I don't think they're going to be able to put it together

Who is their best player? Valverde. Valverde. And maybe Arasquetia from Flamingo

Arahu. They got names, but I'm telling you. I don't think they have enough game-changing players

Again, that previous generations. I don't know. Again, we just saw them lose 5-1 to the United States

Yeah, but the United States is one of the biggest and best nations in the world. Why are you laughing

Why are you laughing? USA! USA! We took the train. I think he rode on an eagle here today

I love it. I mean, this is why you got to be a good actor. Uruguay for me will always, no matter what World Cup, will be a dark horse

Always. I think the harmony's off. They got to go into fraud right now. What do you think? Fraud seems fair

Uruguay. I tried. Damn. All 3.2 million people. The Bielsa post-match interview where he said, what did he say

He said, I'm toxic and people don't want to be around me

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not phrasing, but it doesn't really scream confidence

We got right where we want him. says Maddie. Morocco. Maruekas. They're not

doing what they did last World Cup. Straight up. Sure, but where do they belong? I could still

see them as a long shot. Long shot. I'm gonna say Dark Horse. No. Morocco

are fantastic. I mean, watching them in, whether it's in friendlies, the U-20s just won

the World Cup. Do you send the U-20s to the World Cup? I'm just saying

It's just like they build, they got a solid foundation and a solid program. So for me

I will go Dark Horse. I agree with everything you're saying, but the expectations are going to be higher for Morocco

Yep. There's going to be a lot more questions about Morocco based on their run last year. They got to the final four

They got to the semifinals last year. I think it's the first African nation to ever get to the semifinal of a World Cup

So they already have high expectations. Anything lower than that, I just feel like they're good. Yeah

They were able to do it under the radar. I don't think they're going to have that. So what did you say? Dark Horse? I say Dark Horse

I think that's what brings them down to Longshot. I think back to Longshot. I'd take a Longshot

Let's go. Well, 2v1. Longshot. All right. España. España. They are contenders

Come on. They got to be favorites. No. They just won. You're out of your mind

They just won the Euros. I don't care what's wrong with Laminomal pubis. They are absolutely

Good pubis, bad pubis. I don't care. Sketchy pubis. Okay, pubis. Mid pubis

Bro, we don't care at all. What part of pubis do you care about? All right, Maddie

Contenders? No, I don't think contenders. No, they're favorites. They just won the Euros

I mean, they have arguably. De La Fuente got him balling They have arguably at least one of the two best players currently in the world Or Yarzabal is f going They have Yamaba The second one is who Ambo All right

Guys, I hate her. All right. I'll give her. The Iberian Peninsula hates itself. All right

They're a favorite. All right. Croatia. Fraud. All right. I just want to see y'all reaction to that

Luca Mordic. He's 54 years old. And he looks older than that

You're done saying that name anymore. Yeah. Luca Mordic. Hey, they never seen one of the facts

He's good at playing. No, he's still good. I'm the same, but as far as- Fun fact, I'm making a pact to name my son Luca, my firstborn son, Luca

All right, this is news to your wife. I haven't told you yet. I haven't told you yet, but Luca Mothers, if you're watching, even if we put you in fraud

that's how much you mean to me. Fun fact. We don't give a f***. Name me, give whatever you want

This also has no influence on the tier list, but all right. Son, when you watch this in the future, don't listen to him

Don't listen to Luca. Thank you. Fraud's rough, but are they even a long shot

Yeah, I don't expect much of anything. Throw him in the fraud. The word fraud is so disrespectful

That's the problem here. I could see them getting grouped. Oh! I don't expect too much from Croatia to start

All right. Well, talking about not reaching expectations, Belgium. Fraud. Delica. You old as hell, Belgium

Yo, you wasted your gold there. Kevin De Bruyne, bro. Kevin De Bruyne. Kevin did destroy groin, bro

He got no knees, bro. Yeah. Knees cooked. Long shot here. Long shot

I'm not going to put the fraud. Not even long shot. Do you even have a belief that they're going to do well enough to even be considered a long shot

Don't sleep on Lukaku, bro. Don't sleep on Lukaku. I like this guy. What era of Lukaku should I sleep on

Choose. He has 10 primes. By the way, if I would have slipped on him this time, I would have been right

You want Man United Lukaku? You want Everton Lukaku? You choose, bro. All of them stood in front of the goal and did nothing

He's the greatest. All of them. Honestly, no, I think Freud. No, no, long shot. Long shot

Long shot. Their golden era was wasted, and this isn't even their golden era, and you still think

oh, they might still have it in him. Now the pressure's off. Now they can ball. Y'all smoking something, bro

Who's a dude on Man City? Doku. Doku is balling. I forgot about Doku

Can he do it on his own? Can he do it on his own? Yeah, he can. He's doing it

He can. Last couple weeks. Hey, he's a City player, bro. I still got to say. You're so afraid of having an opinion

It's crazy. Of course he can, right? Right, everybody? Hit the hype button

Doku is one of the best, maybe the best winger in the prep. That's all I'm going to say

I'm not going to disagree with you, but can he do that on his own? You have the best winger in the Prem

Walk them right to the World Cup final. All right. All right. That's fine. Canada

Canada. Oh, Canada. Wow. We feel like Dark Horse-y long shot. Broad

They're one of the hosts. Broad. Get out of your mind. I don't care if they're a host. Jonathan David

You've got Alphonso Davies. You've got Alistair Johnston playing well. You've got Estacchio playing well in Portugal

Nah, dude. At the best, I'm willing to say long shot, but it's hard for me to put a host in long shot

other than Mexico. now that I see it there. So I'm going to go with long shot, but I kind of think dark horsey

Long shot. Long shot for me. I think if Alphonso Davies wasn't just coming back from

you know, an injury in the ACL tear. Oh, so he's going to be fresh? Yeah, I don't know

I don't expect too much out of Canada. They're going to gut out a couple of wins

They're not going to get grouped. And I think they're going to win the round of 32, and I think they're going to lose in the round of 16

They're going to lose in the round of 32. I think in 32. I think they're done. You're crazy, bro

That's a long shot. Remember when they played against Belgium and they took it to them? Yes, they lost

But they played them. They didn't play scared, bro. Jesse Marsh got them playing on all the levels

Goal Cup didn't look that great for them. No. I'm not too confident

I like Longshot. Okay. And last but not least, the Netherlands. Listen, man, the captain Van not looking good right now

He's on a downfall. Okay, not favorite. Not favorite. For sure, not favorite. Not favorite

Come on, don't be crazy. Not favorite, not favorite, not favorite. Jesus. To me, not a contender

Not a contender. Contender feels right to me. I mean, in my memory and the recency bias of the game against Argentina, they were in that game

It was obviously incredibly intense. They're always going to play well, which, yes, I think what you're saying and kind of where your head's at

For me, somewhere between Contender and Dark Horse, because they haven't put it together and I haven't seen them put it together in a while, I'm willing to go Dark Horse

But I can understand why you guys would take Contender. But do you truly believe in your heart of hearts that they have a chance to win the World Cup

I do. I think they can. I think they can make a run, which defines you as a contender

And I think they're going back for blood, knowing what happened in the last World Cup. I think they're coming back with revenge and red in their eyes

The quality is there. The quality is there. The talent's there. I could see them getting into quarters

I don't see them in a World Cup final. And if they do, if it's a World Cup final, let's say, against Argentina, they do

They're cooked. Nah, nah, nah. If it's a World Cup final against France, they're cooked

If it's a World Cup final against Spain, they're cooked. They're not winning it, but they could be a contender

They're not of the top tier, and I don't really see them as contenders. To me, at this point, Netherlands are dark horse

No, they're not dark horse. I mean, you're saying the U.S. and Netherlands are..

On par. Neck and neck. On par. No. I disagree. This guy. You just called him the greatest nation on earth

Until you put it together in a meaningful way, you're a dark horse. They're always quarter finalists, basically

Yeah. Like I said, I can see them getting back to that. Contender? Contender. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course

Yeah, you guys voted, so you win. I think you're wrong. All right. You know what

These guys, put them in front. This looks pretty good. I actually like this list
