They had dominated this tournament until the last four times it was held, in which case they have had pretty disastrous and embarrassing finishes.

And the one year they got deep, made the semifinals, when they were hosting, they lost 7-1 to Germany.

Smart money is probably on France.

And if you're looking for a long shot,

I think there is something to be said for what if this becomes Erling Haaland's tournament and Norway at 25-1 goes on a run.

It would be the biggest upset in the history of the tournament if they won it.

Again, this is not a tournament where underdogs win.

However, Croatia...

been a huge dog each of the last two world cups and in one they made the final and one they made the semi-final so maybe it's changing a little bit i don't think the united states if you want to bet them 50 to 1 you know to root for him fine

The United States winning two knockout round games and making it to the quarterfinals for just the second time in history would be a massive, massive success.
