France were crowned champions in 2018 after beating Croatia 4 goals to 2 in the final. They unleashed Kylian Mbappe then as a teenager and just the second youngest, after Pele, to score in a World Cup final.

Now 8 years on, he is one the best football players on the planet and ready to lead France back to glory after they fell short in 2022. France lost by penalties to Argentina, coming agonisingly close to back-to-back champions.

Their squad is littered with international calibre players and manager Didier Deschamps is truly spoilt for choice when putting this squad on the park.

Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike won’t be recovered from an Achillies rupture, however Michael Olise should be a handy replacement. He has been a revelation for Bayern Munich and his hat trick against Northern Island is a taste of his capability.

Next Best

England

Could football finally be coming home? Fans have been singing about it for sixty years and again they will go in full of optimism. With good measure too, with a strong lineup and a new manager at the helm.

The Southgate era is over and now highly decorated Thomas Tuchel takes the reigns. The hope is, that his experience at club level will translate internationally and be the edge this England squad has been looking for.

Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Saka to name a few, England is full of premier league talent and world class footballers. A winnable group stage and a draw that avoids both France and Spain, can put England in the box seat. The age-old question remains; can English football perform when it matters most?

Value Bet

Argentina

$10.00

The current World Cup champions, the little master Messi going around again and the side of the draw with England, not Spain. What’s not to like?

On current form, the Argentinians are one of the best teams in the world. They should enter the competition as FIFA ranked number one. It’s not just World Cup form either, with two Copa Americas in 2021 and 2024, the squad keeps turning up in the biggest of moments.

Can Argentina give Lionel Messi the greatest send off? Back-to-back World Cup wins would solidify Lionel Messi as a Mount Rushmore of football and potentially make him the Goat.

Value Bet

Germany

$15.00

On current form, the Germans are going to surprise a few people who may have gone early in calling the drop off.

6-0 against Slovakia, 4-3 over the Swiss, 4-0 finish over the Finnish and 2-1 to take care of USMNT.

It’s been disappointing however ,at the World Cup, since 2014 when they last raised the trophy. Back-to-back group stage exits are not something that screams form, but remember when we talk about Cup form, that’s 8 years ago.

The 2018 exit was especially painful, as Germany entered the tournament as the best ranked team in the world. 2022 they drew Spain in the group stage and got blindsided by Japan, but Japan also beat Spain so maybe it wasn’t as surprising as it seemed at the time.

At $15.00 it feels like overs for how this current squad is playing.
