The candidates to win FIFA world cup

                 
                       What are the five great candidates to win the Russia 2018 World Cup?

                When it is not long for the big event, a review of the countries that are best outlined

Every time less is needed and the details are those that end up confirming the candidacy of a country for a World Cup. If a team loses two or three figures before the competition due to injuries, they would suffer too much and would probably be out of the favorites. If a trainer distributes the training loads in the wrong way, too. If a team does not tolerate the pressure, it would surely be in the way.


When there is very little left for the Russia 2018 World Cup, there are already selections that are emerging as great candidates. They show it for different reasons: present, game style, individualities, projection. Here, a review of the five countries that are projected as favorites for the big event


                                                                    FRANCE

With the appearance of so many good young players, it is fair to say that Didier Deschamps' team is not yet a trained team. Precisely that is the great virtue of France towards the World Cup (it occupies the first place in Group A of the European qualifiers). It has so much projection that it remains to know the limit. Thomas Lemar (21 years old), Mbappe (18), Kingsley Coman (21) and Ousmane Démbelé (21), among others, show a young potential that no other country counts. It remains to know if this group of players will be able to explode in a few months or their turn will only arrive in 2022

In these times, France is a very competitive team that could fight hand to hand to anyone, with some class A players (Antoine Griezmann and Pogba in the first step, Giroud, Kanté and Umtiti, a little below). In the future, if you adapt the pieces well, you could become an unbeatable Selection.

                                                                ARGENTINA

It seems crazy - almost a provocation - to place the Argentine National Team in this select list, but, at a distance, it is necessary to separate what seemed an emergency with a reality. The team of Jorge Sampaoli qualified with the World Cup. It was a bad team that showed almost nothing. But he has Messi, of course

Sampaoli has the idea - for now, far from specifying it - to give all possible options to 10 of Barcelona. Company in the attack, weight options, a solid defense behind. It seems difficult to anticipate the version with which the Albiceleste will arrive in Russia. The only obvious thing is that you can not leave out candidates for a team that has so many good players (Messi at the head, Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria and several more).

                                                      BRASIL

Tite grabbed the boat just before it began to sink. In June 2016, he took over a team that seemed doomed to decay. Not only did it revive it: it made it one of the best in the world. The former Corinthians coach closed his eyes and applied his plan: freedom to Neymar, a midfield of much game and dynamic and a defense with more experience and hierarchy than anything else.

Brazil took out the South American Qualifiers as if they were easy, while the rest of their competitors (Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina, Chile), cry blood for a place in Russia. It will be necessary to determine how Ligue 1 affects Neymar. Today, the PSG forward is probably the most unbalancing player in the world. When it grabs the ball, it generates different things. From that starting point until June 2018 (two years), Brazil will repeat the team to the point of exhaustion and arrive in Russia like a little machine that knows everything it has to do. The perfect combination.

                                                                  GERMANY 

There is no Selection of the world that goes through such a long, regular and prosperous process as Germany. Joachimm Löw will fulfill his third World Cup in front of the team (in 2010 he finished in third place, in 2014 he left champion), which he knows perfectly. The coach, who started playing for the national team as assistant to Klinsmann in 2004, has such a great situation that he even has a plan for what will come after Russia, with players like Draxler, Kimmich or Wagner.


Germany, in the first place of Group C of the European qualifiers, plays too naturally. Probably has the best backbone in the world (Neuer, Hummels, Kroos and Müller), as well as a series of companions of a superlative level (Ozil, Reus, Khedira or Mario Gómez)

                                                                       SPAIN

Neither the potential of France, nor the individuality of Messi, nor the Brazilian system, nor the German machine could be up to Spain if the Lopetegui team offers what they showed, for example, in the qualifiers against Italy. , a true football party. Basically, the team that emerged champion in 2010 was added young talent, such as Koke, Isco and Asensio, so the 'veterans' who remain now breathe before a group of players who understand the game in the same way.

A very high goalkeeper, probably the best defense in the world (Carvajal, Ramos, Piqué and Jordi Alba), a midfield full of football (Iniesta, Busquets and Koke) and a free front to play (Asensio O Costa, Isco and David Silva ). For the players and the level with which they could arrive, it is the Selection that could achieve the most flight. Yes: today, Spain is the number 1 candidate to win the World Cup.
