00:59Managed by veteran World Cup tactician Roberto Martinez, the squad features midfield brilliance from Joao Nives, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, and Betinho.

01:16At $1 billion in value, England comes in third.
01:32The inventors of the game have one of the deepest rosters in football.
01:35Alongside captain Harry Kane, the three Lions boast talents like Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.
01:45Head coach Thomas Tuchel has the tools to guide England to their first World Cup final since 1966.
01:52Spain's young and electrifying squad is valued at $1.4 billion.
01:56Leading the charge is football club Barcelona sensation Laminia Mall, supported by midfield mestros Pedri, Rodrigo, Furman, and Marino.
02:06Add in defenders Cucurella, Dean Heysen, and Danny Carvajal, and you have a team built for dominance.
02:13La Roja is ready to prove that a new golden era is on the horizon.
02:16Topping the list is France, valued at an incredible $1.5 billion.
02:32Led by Kalyan Mbapp, Les Blues feature a frightening depth of talent with Simeon Dembola, young phantom Desire Dewey, Bundesliga star Michael Alleyes, midfield all-rounder Monocone, and defenders Jules Kound and Theo Hernandez.
02:47After losing the Qatar 2022 final to Lionel Messi's Argentina, France is determined to reclaim the trophy.
02:54The value of these squads reflects not just individual talent, but the immense expectations placed on them.
