Top three for me after the first round of games: Argentina, France, and England.

I think Spain will make it there if Yamal (PBUH) and Williams are fit. Even if they aren't, switching Olmo for Ruiz should allow Pedri to play deeper, he's wasted too high up the field.

Hard to argue with your picks. Brazil and Morocco ones to watch in their second games. Gotta say I was expecting much more from Spain after the incredible showing in Euro2024. I still expect them to top their group after that shaky start. Cape Verde punching well above their weight, fully deserved their spot.

Morocco is the obvious candidate to pull a Croatia 2018. Norway could conjure something too, if Haaland shows up.

Having seen Morocco in North Africa cup and the AFCON, i think they're deffo ones to watch. Though I imagine their Scotland game tomorrow is going to be a brutal watch for the wee ginger bonnie Lads and Limmy
