Which country is going to win the Fifa World Cup?

Cant believe world cup starts next month already, super excited!
Argentina and Brazil continue to seem like the strongest teams in South America if I had to choose favorites. Argentina consistently plays attacking football and has a winning mentality as a result of its recent victories, while Brazil always brings flair and skill. Because of their depth and talented young players, France seems really frightening in Europe.

Portugals blend of expertise and thrilling new talent may catch anyone off guard, while Spains passing game has the potential to dominate. Japan is the team Im most thrilled about for Asia. They are constantly getting better at playing disciplined, quick football. Honestly, if everything clicks, I believe Japan could advance to the quarterfinals or even farther.

World Cups are always full of surprises, which is why football fans adore them so much, but France, Brazil and Argentina will likely be the frontrunners.

Thanks for the screenshot/info

Just my opinion without doing any research, from following live video and betting on the NT events for quite some time:

- I don't think Spain is the nb1 favorite if Yamal won't play and/or will be limited because of the tough hamstring injury a few weeks ago... still, a strong team overall, but it's Yamal's team...
- France/England are 2 teams I followed for a long time and they have the 'big names', but they struggle to beat pretty much anyone - I especially have close to 0 faith that England will win any important trophy in the near future * nothing since 1966 with all the previous top players?! WoW...
- Brazil made (IMO) a bad move with Carlo Ancelotti, it's not about the results, the team lost their identity or something and I can't see them having a good tournament here, maybe Don Carlo would be better going back to a club team* Real Madrid is struggling since he left and is looking for a manager...
- Argentina has a good chance to defend their title (I still remember the WC 2022 Final when Messi & Co. dominated a very strong France team that needed a lot of luck to even reach the extra-time and lose at penalties), Messi is still playing good and the form he shows in MLS is pretty insane (I know that it's a low-ish league...), while quite a few other Argentinians had amazing seasons... 'only' last spot in the Top 5 favorites- maybe the bookmakers are making a big mistake here...
- Portugal is in similar situation with Argentina, their team still built around CR7 (most likely last important tournament for both him and Messi- what an era...), some insanely good players like Vitinha for example who is considered the smartest midfielder right now - I'd say it even more clear: IMO the best midfielder and one of the best players in the World! PS. this trophy is the only one missing for CR7, it won't take anything from his unreal career, but Portugal might be extra motivated to fight for the trophy...

In sports you never know what will happen, I've learned it from Sports betting... but, I don't see any other team with real chances to lift the trophy (I'd probably take out England and France lol), overall the favorites seem OK- I just don't agree with the order/odds...

Hopefully it will be a good tournament with lots of entertaining games to watch
