Who Should/Will Win the World Cup?

[NeverTrustAesSedai He/Him]

I've been keeping up with a few teams, but I don't really favor anyone to win ever since Netherlands got knocked out. In y'all's opinion, who should win the World Cup and why? I'd be interested to learn anything new about soccer, as it's my favorite sport. Also, do y'all have any favorite players, and if so, why?

Hhhmmm

France

Bc my sister is enamored with anything French and also they are apparently favored to win pretty significantly (i thought I saw a 16% win chance, while the average is ~2-3%)

im not biased

France is definitely a strong one. Mbappe is up there with Messi for most goals this World Cup (although Messi just scored another one). Any favorite players?

Not really

I am morally saying Iran. They have had a terrible and senseless tragedy wrought upon their nation. To triumph over their foe in a peaceful game would be a fitting outcome.

Now, I have not been watching the dang sportball, so someone might tell me they are already not able to win.

I don't really see how beating a team filled with players who had nothing to do with that incident would be justice for the people killed and lives ruined.

It would be symbolic justice. Which is a pathetic justice, but still, something.
