Tournament winner
Our prediction
🏆 Winner
🇫🇷France
Squad depth is unmatched. Mbappé in his prime, Camavinga in midfield, and a manager who knows how to peak in tournaments. They have the best balance of attack, defence, and tournament experience.
Confidence
72%
🥈 Runner-up
🇧🇷Brazil
The most complete squad Brazil have had in 20 years. But their tendency to freeze in knockout stages against European sides keeps them off the top spot.
Confidence
58%
🥉 Semi-final exit
🇩🇪Germany
Rebuilt with pace and pressing intensity. A genuine dark horse for the final but they meet Brazil or Spain too early in the bracket.

Underrated picks
Dark horses
🇲🇦 Morocco
Proved in 2022 they belong at this level. Defensive organisation is elite. Could repeat the semi-final run.
QF minimum
🇺🇸 USA
Home advantage at SoFi and MetLife. A young, fast squad that could catch bigger nations off guard in front of 80,000 fans.
R16 minimum
🇹🇷 Türkiye
Euro 2024 showed they can beat anyone on their day. Arda Güler at 20 is one of the most exciting players at this tournament.
QF possible
🇯🇵 Japan
Consistently punch above their weight. Dominated their 2022 group. The J-League generation is their best ever.
R16 certain
