Who Are The Main Contenders For World Cup 2022?

The international break has come to an end. The next chance to see the national team's squad is ahead of the winter World Cup in Qatar 2022.

The Seleção Brazil are favourites to win this year's World Cup. They have won the tournament a record five times and have lost just one of their 30 competitive games since their 2018 World cup quarter-final loss to Belgium. Brazil lost the Copa America 2021 final against Argentina.

Raphinha (2), Richarlison, Neymar, Pedro and Neyland scored for Brasileira. Brazil beat Tunísia 5-1.

France are the current holders of the World Cup 2022. They are struggling recently with just one win in six Nations League games. Karim Benzema is injured. Only Italy (1934 and 1938), Brazil (1960 and 1962) and Brazil have won back-to-back World Cups.

Gareth Southgate's England team has steadily improved their tournament finishes since his arrival. England lost in the Euro 2020 final to Italy on penalties.

England were recently relegated from the Nations League's top tier following a winless campaign in Group 3. England manager Gareth Southgate has struggled to find a formation in which to integrate his players. The World Cup 2022 takes place in a new location at an unfamiliar time of year.
