00:01Sport's ultimate showcase is well and truly underway. As 48 teams battle for World Cup glory, former international stars are
00:10weighing in on the favourites, dark horses and potential surprises.
00:15I believe on my team. We have a great, great squad. The collective is very good. Inside, we have very
00:25good players. We have Dembélé, Mbappé, Olysees, Cherki.
00:33So, after this, we need to put rules on the field, like sacrifice, like discipline, respect on your opponent. I
00:46believe on Dizzy Deschamps, the manager, to send a great message for the group.
00:52Argentina is one of the favourites. They're coming in to defend their title so it won't be easy.
00:57We're in a group that looks manageable, but it's going to be tough. As for the other contenders, right now,
01:03I'd say France, Spain and Portugal.
01:05Behind them, as always, are England, Brazil, Uruguay and, of course, Germany. And then, hopefully, Colombia and Ecuador will have
01:12a great tournament.
01:16Attention is now quickly turning to the teams expected to shape the race for the title.
01:27Germany is a favourite because they won last year. Maybe Argentina won the last World Cup. But, Portugal, Spain, they
01:36are very good at that. Morocco, too, maybe, is a big surprise.
01:40With several strong sides contending, the battle for the title is expected to remain wide open. The final will be
01:48held in New Jersey on July 19th.
01:50Whether or not, but there are no more targets
