Injury misery in the star ensemble France

World champions France are worried.

Prediction: who will be world champion in 2022?

Our first choice for the 2022 world title is Brazil. The South American offensive is incredibly strong. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior has been in top form for some time now. Neymar also appears to be in impressive form given his 20 goals in 14 competitive matches. In addition, players such as Manchester United’s Anthony, Barcelona’s Raphinha or Real Madrid’s Rodrygo perfect the attack. The defense is also impressive: many forwards at the World Cup should look old against the sharper Casemiro and the two central defenders Marquinhos and Eder Militao.

Conclusion: Excellent in all positions, the Seleção can only fail in itself. If Brazil gets the team with a total market value of 1.09 billion euros formed into a real unit, it is World title 2022 definitely possible.
