One of the reasons why the World Cup is so intriguing is that it is a tournament made up of so many uncertainties, with only three rounds in the group stage and only two of the four teams able to make it to the World Cup.
advancement
In the knockout rounds, the first match is especially important for the future, as a slight slip-up could result in elimination.
Let's start with Group A. The Netherlands, with their strongest players such as Diby, Frankie Dijon and Wojciech Wendicek, will be the best of the best, and will finish first.

semifinals
No problem. Senegal won the African Cup of Nations at the beginning of the year, and of course they want to go farther in this year's World Cup. Shadio Vinny and Aidoo Aventis are the most important players in the squad, but unfortunately the former is doubtful due to injury, so I am afraid it is difficult for him to go to the knockout stage. As for the other two teams, I think Qatar with home field advantage can go first,
an upset (esp. in sports)
come second

Eligibility.
In Group B, England, with their star-studded team of World Cup winners and current European Cup runners-up, are undoubtedly the top team.
beyond the pale
Big hit. Rising star Jody Bearingham has been outstanding in Dortmund and is worth keeping an eye on, I reckon they can go to the last 8 or even beyond. USA, Iran and Wales have similar strengths, but USA is always more experienced in tournaments, so I think they can join hands with England.
advancement
In Group C, Argentina, under the leadership of Misi, will be able to continue their momentum of winning the Americas and finish at the top of the group.
beyond the pale
Qualification. Mexico's performance in the World Cup has always been guaranteed, and they have qualified for the last 7 editions.
semifinals
The second place should not be a problem, as the situation is better than Poland and Saudi Arabia.
In Group D, I reckon defending champions France will regain their form at this crucial moment and have a good chance to come out on top together with Denmark, who performed well in the last European Cup. Australia and Tunisia are always weaker, and with their lack of experience in big matches, they are unlikely to make a difference.
My home country Spain and traditional rivals Germany are in Group E. These two favorites will face each other in the 2nd round. I think Spain and Germany are much stronger than Japan and Costa Rica.
advancement
semifinals
It is true that Japan is a team with good footwork and tactical diversity. Indeed, Japan is a team with good footwork and tactical diversity, but their experience in international tournaments is not as good as their counterparts in Spain and Germany, so we can only sigh our bad luck.
In Group F, Croatia has a lot of experience and has been performing well in the World Cup for many years. This is the last time Modicic will be playing in the World Cup and I respect him very much, so I hope Modicic can lead the Gers to the knockout stage. As for the second place, I will choose Canada, who has been improving rapidly in recent years, while Belgium and Morocco, who are without their main players and lack of experience, will be out of the tournament.
Group G. 5-time World Cup champions Brazil are too good to miss out on the top spot.
advancement
And I expect to finish second in the group.
beyond the pale
The competition for qualification will be fierce. Switzerland, who knocked out France in the European Cup, is a strong team and will be able to beat Cameroon and Serbia.
advancement
Group H is the group of death, with Uruguayan flanker Federico Valverde on
Real Madrid soccer team
With a trio of world-class strikers in Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunes and Kayuni, the team is definitely capable of delivering a good performance. Son Heung-min has the expectations of the people of the Republic of Korea, but unfortunately the draw was not good enough to stop the star-studded Portugal!
