Brazil 2026 isn't a prediction, it's a fact. Vinicius alone would tear apart most defences in this tournament. People saying France haven't watched the Copa America qualifying rounds. This isn't even close.
Nobody's talking about Spain and that's exactly how they like it. Pedri, Yamal, Nico Williams — they won Euro 2024 and barely looked like they were trying. Quiet favourites are usually the ones who win it.
Brazil fans say this literally every World Cup. You haven't won since 2002. At some point "most talented squad in the world" stops being an excuse and starts being the problem.
England fans have been saying it's coming home since 1966. Brazil has actually won it five times. France bottled the Euro final on penalties. Don't talk to me about recent form when your country's entire football identity is one tournament 60 years ago.
Bringing up 1966 is what you do when you've run out of actual points. England reached two major finals in four years. What has Brazil done at a tournament lately besides bottle it in the quarters?
USA on home soil with Pulisic in his prime. Every venue will feel like a home game. Everyone wrote off South Korea in 2002 too.
South Korea had Hiddink. Who does the US have? Home advantage helps when the squad is good enough to use it.
Argentina defending is a lovely story. Messi at 38, cracks showing in qualifying, and a draw that hasn't exactly been kind. The romance is real. The actual squad depth is not.
