The Athletic FC Podcast · Which dark horse will go furthest at the World Cup? · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

I think all three of those sides will be looking at Brazil and thinking, this is doable.

Brazil have got more firepower, certainly, and Vinicius Junior has clearly turned up for this tournament.

I think they've found something of an answer at number nine with Mateus Cunha, the way that he's performed in the first three games.

So they've learned a few positive things about themselves, I think, in this opening stage, but they still have big questions, particularly around that midfield and just...

how teams can outnumber them outmaneuver them and potentially overrun them in that area of the pitch if they if they get their tactics right so it wouldn't be a massive stunner for me if Japan took them out because I think Japan have been pretty good so far and they they just know who they are as a team that will be a really really fun tie

I feel like after all this talk of upsets, France, Spain.

Still Spain, I think, just because.

Yeah, and you look back over previous World Cups, the team that lights up the group stage is not necessarily the team that wins.

And Spain have actually learned that to their cost in the past as well.

So the fact that they've sort of eased their way in could be a good sign for them.

I think England might edge Brazil or whoever comes out of that.

Well, because England just haven't been that convincing, have they?

But they are built to exploit the kind of margins in games.

The way Tuchel has constructed this team with set pieces, with trying to keep their structure solid.

I know they weren't particularly solid against Panama, I think in the number of dangerous situations Panama created.

But when Declan Rice is back...

And there's a bit more security to them and that could suit knockout football.

So I don't think it's too Homer of a pick to say that they'll get out of that quarter of the draw.

And Argentina, I just think they've got a fantastic path in front of them.

Messi versus Vazinha was the matchup that everyone wanted as well.
