Its a little too early to predict, we're still over two months away from the tournament.

You left Bosnia out on purpose? They're not a bad team.

But off the bat I think Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, England, France, Argentina, Spain will be in there. Maybe Turkey and Portugal too.

Agreed that it's a bit early but I'm hoping for an upset this year, I want to see a team that no one would think could win take it, but we all know how that goes 😄

German market strategist, Joachim Klement, who says he correctly forecast Germany in 2014, France in 2018 and Argentina in 2022, says his statistical model points to the Netherlands lifting the trophy in a final against Portugal:

France v Portugal in the final. Won’t be Spain, they been outspoken about Israel so the refs will make sure they don’t win it. Especially since this is in the USA.

Those saying it's too early, there's a post predicting the MLB season, a season of 162 games, they are predicting. The WC is 2 months away.

As a side note, anyone else thinks it is crazy that Iran want to play, especially in the US.
The maga's always tell us not to mix sports and politics ;)

A current top 6 team in fifa rank will win. They have so much depth. You look at USA sitting at 13th in the world. Position by position, they have no chance against these team. Even less for Canada.

What's even crazier is the two countries could meet in the round of 32 (which is the knockout round right after the group matches)

I gotta be honest though, I don't think we're good enough to win the whole thing
the Dutch are shit and if it’s against Portugal , Portugal owns them.
