Whether you’re a new soccer fan or a diehard, I’m sure you’re all incredibly excited about the World Cup. Don’t worry, you can now count down the days.

▶ Top Teams
- Brazil — (No. 1 in FIFA ranking). Neymar and Vinícius Júnior are peaking at the right time. I don’t know, but I think Brazil might be able to win their first World Cup since 2002 this time.

- Argentina — (No. 3 in FIFA ranking). It is well known that Argentina has not won a World Cup since the days of the great Diego Maradona. This will be the first World Cup since his death in November 2020 and also the last World Cup Messi will play in. Messi is still at its core and all Argentina fans are keeping an eye on Messi.

- France — (No. 4 in FIFA ranking). Still, the country with the most depth to its squad, despite an injury list that includes Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante. The attack is now led by Mbappe and Karim Benzema, two great athletes with great strength.
