They have a well-rounded squad with chemistry all over the pitch, with Luis de la Fuente seemingly getting the most out of his players whenever they cross the white line.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eSome of the star players to look out for in the Spanish squad include 2024 Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, Gavi, Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Mikel Oyarzabal to name just a few.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eBrazil\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eWhen it comes to the World Cup, the Brazilian team always poses a threat by fielding a strong team full of attacking flair. They haven't lifted the trophy since 2002 and in their last campaign, which occurred in 2022, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals on penalties by third-place finishers Croatia. With that being said, they are the most successful team in the history of the tournament, being the only country to compete in every edition of the World Cup and winning it a total of 5 times.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThey possess an incredibly strong selection of goalkeepers, including \u0026nbsp;former Manchester City star Ederson and Liverpool legend Alisson.

England have made their way to various finals over the past decade, including in Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. However, they simply couldn't get the job done against Italy or Spain, respectively.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eOn paper, England has one of the strongest teams in the world, so it's almost no surprise to spectators that they're making significant progress in tournaments.

After lifting the World Cup in 2018, they narrowly missed out in 2022 having lost in \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c/i\u003e epic final to Argentina. In the 2024 Euros, they finished third having lost out to Spain in the semi-final. Their star man is Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe - who has already scored 12 goals in the World Cup finals which included a hat-trick against the Argentines in the finale four years ago.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eOther standout players who will feature in the France squad include Michael Olise, William Saliba, Theo Hernández, and Ousmane Dembélé.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eArgentina\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eDespite going into the 2026 World Cup as joint-fourth favourites, Argentina could be heading stateside without Lionel Messi. Arguably the greatest player of all-time, head coach Lionel Scaloni is still 50/50 about his participation.
