Group breakdown Group A – Netherlands, Senegal, Ecua- dor and Qatar This group should be a straight for- ward one for the Dutch, who will be on a mission under the guidance of the quirky Louis Van Gaal. Senegal are touted to be the best African team at the tournament, but will be starting the competition without their star play- er Sadio Mane, who was ruled out of the Lions of Teranga's opener with the Netherlands. Hosts Qatar will be luck to pick up a point. Group B – England, Wales, USA and Iran The Three Lions should top the group, leaving Wales and the USA fighting for second place. Opening day should be tight with matchday two bringing some key clashes which could decide who advances given that the Welsh and the English meet in the final round of games. Group C – Argentina, Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia Argentina are among the favourites to win the World Cup, and should make light work of Saudi Arabia, Mexico and then Poland. Lionel Messi's Albiceleste have a strong squad with the likes of Angel Di Maria, Lisandro Martinez and Otamendi bringing the intensity and experience the squad needs especially during the latter stages of the competition. Few are giving the Saudis much of a chance, but Herve Renard is a proven coach at international level with underdog sides. Group D – France, Denmark, Tunisia and Australia France, the reigning world champi- ons, are expected to top the group, but Denmark are not an easy team to face, given their run in EURO 2020. France will also miss key players like Paul Pog- ba and Ngolo Kante in their squad, with the two running the midfield when the Les Bleus were crowned champions in Russia 2018. Group E – Spain, Germany, Japan and Costa Rica Germany and Spain are two teams who always turn up on the international stage, boasting a squad of experienced and tal- ented players. They are expected to win their opening ties, and while Japan could make life tough for the Europeans, it is unlikely to be enough by the end. Group F – Croatia, Canada, Belgium and Morocco While having a squad of talented play- ers across the pitch, Belgium's golden generation have not lived up to the hype and their Euro 2020 showing illustrat- ed further regression from a potential title win. Croatia's experienced squad should mean they top their group, but Canada will be tough opponents. Group G – Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia and Cameroon The South Americans are also favour- ites to win the World Cup, boasting a sensational front-line which includes the likes of Neymar, Antony, Raphina, Vinicius Junior and Richarlison. They also possess one of the most balanced squads of all the contenders. Serbia and Switzerland both boast talented groups, but the Swiss have shown themselves to be an underrated force internationally of late so should be good enough to fin- ish second behind the Brazilians. Group H – Uruguay, Portugal, South Ko- rea and Ghana Portugal, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Cancelo and Reuben Neves have a strong squad, but Uruguay look to be the dark hors- es of the competition. South Korea and Ghana would be lucky to finish second.
