The World Cup 2022 and a Best Team In Fifa World Cup like no other. Qatar, the 158th biggest nation on earth. With a population of 3.3 million. Welcome 32 teams to the country in November with the searing heat of the Arabian peninsular meaning that next year a world champion will be crowned just in time for Christmas.

#1 Brazil Best Team In Fifa World Cup

Brazil Best Team In Fifa World Cup

Defeat to Argentina in the Copa America final proved that the Selecao are not unbeatable but the manner in which they advanced to their date with Argentina, coupled with the sedate progress they have made through CONMEBOL’s brutal qualifying group, augurs well for next winter. This is not a team light on options upfront. How could it be with Neymar at its heart? But it has been the defence that proved to be invaluable for Tite’s side of late. In seven games they conceded just three goals and no side allowed opponents a lower expected goals tally per 90 minutes than Brazil’s 0.6.

Ultimately Brazil will go into the tournament with world-class options in goal (Alisson, Ederson), central defence (Marquinhos), midfield (Fabinho, Casemiro) and forward (Neymar). Beyond the sense that they could perhaps do with a one-goal every two games striker to round out their attack, there are few weaknesses to this team.

#2 France Best Team In Fifa World Cup

There may be no greater collection of talent come 2022 than the French side. To the constellation of stars they have unleashed over recent years one could add the likes of Dayot Upamecano, Houssem Aouar and Eduardo Camavinga. Kylian Mbappe could reach even greater heights if such a thing is imaginable while the likes of Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann will still be in their primes. All they need is a left-back.

#3 England Best Team In Fifa World Cup

England Best Team In Fifa World Cup

Theirs is a familiar arc on the international stage. The likes of Germany and France grew accustomed to near misses and setbacks before taking that decisive final step; there is no reason to feel that an England side that has shown such admirable composure and organization in the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020 cannot go one step further in Qatar. They have a welcome mixture of players around their prime years such as Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Harry Kane along with young bolters from Bukayo Saka to Jude Bellingham via Phil Foden.

#4 Argentina Best Team In Fifa World Cup

Argentina Best Team In Fifa World Cup

Now that Lionel Messi finally has that international honour he has craved there may be a degree less pressure on him personally when he arrives in Qatar, though he will surely not take his foot off the gas in what may be his last chance to win the biggest prize of them all. Equally, once you have won the Copa America the Argentine public will only expect better at the World Cup 2022.

#5 Italy Best Team In Fifa World Cup

The European champions certainly merit serious consideration for the global crown in 18 months time. The likes of Federico Chiesa, Nicolo Barella and Domenico Berardi will be approaching the peak of their powers and if Euros 2020 and 2016 have taught us anything it is that the Italians tend to come to major tournaments armed with the best of the best among international managers. Roberto Mancini was head and shoulders above his opposite numbers this summer and it showed as Italy continually adapted their approach to gain an edge over their opponents.

#6 Spain Best Team In Fifa World Cup

There may have been no more dangerous attacking force than Spain at Euro 2020. They are per 90 xG was the highest of any team at the tournament. They took lots of shots and hit the target often; when it clicked even teams as composed as Croatia had no answer. If international football were a league season you would rank them extremely high, not least because their ‘new signing’ Aymeric Laporte added welcome stability to the defence.

Perhaps the likes of Dani Olmo will take the leap that looks to be within their capabilities or Alvaro Morata will find a hot streak at the right moment. Success next year certainly seems within Spain’s reach.

#7 Portugal Best Team In Fifa World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo’s pursuit of the all-time men’s international scoring record presumably means that he will continue on to the World Cup — by which time he will surely have the one goal he needs to overtake Ali Daei — and it would be dangerous to write off a team that can surround one of the game’s all-time great scorers with such creative talent. Fernando Santos has 18 months to build chemistry among the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Diogo Jota but the truth is it was severely lacking at Euro 2020. It should be noted that Portugal led for just 40 minutes across four games in that tournament and rarely looked cohesive in their build-up play.

8. Belgium Best Team In Fifa World Cup

For the time being it feels that Belgium’s moment may just have passed them by. Make no mistake they certainly belong in the category of nations who could win the World Cup but where in past years they belonged in the very highest echelon of favourites come 2022 it may be that too many of this squad is on the downswing without the top tier talent to replace them. Of the Golden Generation, only Romelu Lukaku will not be in his 30s in Qatar and it is fair to assume that the likes of Axel Witsel and Eden Hazard might be on the downslope of their career. Perish the thought, perhaps even Kevin De Bruyne will need managing through a gruelling midseason tournament.

#9 Germany Best Team In Fifa World Cup

The rebuild is surely coming for Germany now after Joachim Low exited Euro 2020 in disappointing fashion, abandoning his commitment to move on from the Thomas Muller, Mats Hummel’s generation until he second-guessed himself late on. Much of what was good about Die Mannschaft this summer came from the young players Hansi Flick will surely build around, not least the vibrant Kai Havertz who seems to have found his natural role for club and country as a roaming, playmaking centre forward.

#10 Mexico Best Team In Fifa World Cup

The Team Mexico is something of a left-field choice considering their mixed form. But there is talent in abundance for Tata Martino to hone over the coming months. Crucially unlike others in the tier below them. It is hard to see Mexico missing out on qualification for the World Cup. They ought to be in Qatar and with the likes of Jesus Corona. Hirving Lozano and Edson Alvarez will have talent at the right age to make an impact on the tournament.
