Favorite: Argentina
With rumors and hints that the Argentine superstar Lionel Messi will retire from international football, the motivation for this team to lift the 2020 World Cup trophy is on the extreme level. They can easily swat aside weaker nations. Argentina showcased their dominance by sweeping Italy last summer’s Finalissima.
Favorite: Brazil
As usual, this Brazilian squad will surely provide a great show and display their dominance in this World Cup. Brazil never lost a single match since the 2021 Copa America final against the huge rival Argentina. They strengthened their hold of this position after they defeated Ghana and Tunisia in an international friendly.
With Neymar Jr as the frontline and a light of hope for the 5-time World Champion to once again lift and take the trophy home.
Contender: Spain, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, England and France
Despite France winning the 2018 World Cup, their performance in the UEFA Nations League is somewhat very alarming coming into Qatar. But, they are still contenders due to their stacked line up headlined by the lightning quick Kylian Mbappe. But there is a huge possibility that France will be able to duplicate their Championship run in the 2018 World Cup. While Denmark, they already beat France. This is a team known for their robust defense and a shot creator in Christian Eriksen. With collective effort on the court and a reliable shot creator, this team has a serious shot in winning the tournament. Spain, have a depth roster frontline by Alvaro Morata that will give a problem to contending and favorite nations.
While Germany and England are a much hungrier team as they are willing to have a comeback. Especially Germany who was knocked out of the group stage and lost to Korea way back at the 2018 World Cup. Germany will also parade their depth roster composed mostly of high caliber players from Bundesliga and other European leagues. England however, has the youth and the eagerness to prove to the world that they are still a considerable contending team despite a relegation in the UEFA Nations League.
