This winter, we will have the first winter World Cup in Qatar, which is a feast for global football fans. You may be a fan of Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, England, etc. However, which team will be a dark horse outside of these traditionally strong teams? Here are some possibilities.
No 1: Qatar
Advantages:
Qatar is the host, and that will benefit the team a lot. In history, there were many examples where the host nation team did well, like Korea in 2002 and Russia in 2018. Another advantage is that Qatar is in a group with good chances to pass through the qualifiers.
Disadvantages:
We have to say Qatar may be the weakest in Group A. Although Qatar is the host, you can think about what happened to South Africa in 2010.
No 2: Senegal
Advantages:
Senegal just won the Africa Cup of Nations. They have Mane from FC Bayern Munich, Mendy from Chelsea, and many skilled players.
Disadvantages:
African teams usually do not perform well in the World Cup. Senegal and Mane have to make a breakthrough.
No 3: Denmark
Advantages:
Denmark is used to creating miracles. They did that in 1992 and nearly copied that last year.
Disadvantages:
Compared to Euro 2020, the World Cup team has not changed. Key players, like Damsgaard, and Vestergaard, have often been sidelined by their clubs.
No 4: Japan
Advantages:
You can’t forget the game between Japan and Belgium in 2018. Japan has been the best team in Asia and has more and more players who play for European clubs. They can always play good games.
Disadvantages:
The coach Moriyasu Hajime may be the weakness, he struggled in the qualifier, and Japan is in a tough group with Spain and Germany.
Advantages:
We have not seen Canada in the World Cup since 1986, but now the team is not the same. Canada may be the most anticipated team, with many young players like Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies. Never underestimate new teams in the World Cup, like Croatia in 1998.
Disadvantages:
The young team lacks experience. Canada has been absent from the World Cup for 36 years since 1986.
