You’re completely ruling out Spain which is something I just couldn’t do!

Consider that:
1). Spain has only let in one goal the entire World Cup.
2). Research just how strong Spain’s mid-field is. Without a doubt they control the ball at the midfield better than any team in the world.
3). Last Euro Cup Spain defeated France 2-1 in the Semi-final July 9th, 2024.

Has Spain played any of the top teams in this Cup? I don’t know too much about “futbol.” Can’t tell Ronaldo from Messi.

Haaland, however, I know. Somehow he has been showing up on my YouTube feeds. Eats like an actual Viking. Plays defense like 77 of the Lakers. Cool guy all around.

Is France unbeatable?

Spain's only problem this year is scoring goals. Their defense is lights out. Their best attacker/striker might be coming off the bench (Merino) if you go by goals scored. France is probably the best team overall but as Vince said Spain got them just last year.

Argentina might be the weakest as their form has been up and down like Messi.

England is strong but depends on whether you think Jude Bellingham is good enough to overcome a 60 year drought.

Thanks for the info. My guts say go with France.

Argentina might have the least impressive TEAM remaining. But they have Messi, and Emiliano Martinez might be the world's best goaltender in big games. Don't count them out.

There are some good goalies this go around. The Moroccan dude was impressive.
