Top Contenders Analysis
France enter as favorites with arguably the deepest squad in world football. Kylian Mbappé leads one of the most feared attacks, while their midfield and defense provide world-class balance.
Brazil return to the World Cup with a renewed sense of purpose following their quarterfinal exit in Qatar. Vinicius Jr. at his peak could be the tournament's standout player.
Argentina are the defending champions with Lionel Messi likely playing his final World Cup. The emotional narrative combined with genuine squad quality makes them dangerous.
