Brazil is definitely a contender to win this year. Their recent wins in Qualifiers, Olympics (2016), Copa America (2019) and others suggest they are a powerhouse of football stars. Seems they have gotten over the lull that occurs every few world cups as the roster changes here and there, and I'm very excited to see how they will progress throughout the tournament. (As a Brazilian myself, I'm rooting for them!)
On another note, Argentina are finally getting a good break as they are coming into the cup off last year's Copa America win over Brazil. Argentina have had a history of chokes on the national stage, and although they have lost to Saudi Arabia in the group stages, it's still too early to really tell how things will play out. Argentina still have that reliable asset with Messi, as he has always had a brilliant display in his entire career and undoubtedly the most talented player in the world. The Argentinian squad are finally starting to look promising again.
France is looking good as well, champions from the last World Cup back in 2018 and will be defending their title this time around. Not much else to say there but they are also in league for winning the title.
All in all, I think it's safe to say either one of these teams can raise the trophy. I can't wait to see how this cup plays out.
I hope everyone enjoys the World Cup!
