It's crazy how Germany has fallen off, after lifting the trophy in 2014. Group stage exits in 2018,2022 and Ro32 exit today.

Despite having abundance of talent and resources at thier disposal, they have been unable to go deep at world cup.

Do you remember any other top nation which has fallen off so steeply after winning the trophy?

Knockout stage comparison at previous 3 world cups, based on FIFA Confederations.

Notice how Europe's share is going down and Africa's share is going up. African contingent has been putting up terrific show.

FIFAWC26 Prediction: Who's Overtaking Messi tonight? Haaland or Mbappe?

Which teams are going out?

Saudi Arabia and Iraq are definitely going out i feel. Cape verde might just pull off something dramatic and qualify in second place if Spain beat Uruguay.

Can New Zealand upset Belgium and send them packing? It's a match day full of possibilities, i can't wait.

Table after 1st round of matches, which teams have impressed so far?

England, Argentina, France and Germany for me. But the quality of matches have surpassed expectations, no way the extended format of 48 teams has diminished the quality 🥳
