Who Will Win the World Cup? There’s Really Only One Place to Ask.
The most likely team to win the World Cup this year is Brazil, according to the bookmakers. The team's odds are roughly 3-1. France, England and Spain are also considered strong contenders. Argentina is 8-5 favorite, but it lost its opening game to Saudi Arabia. Lionel Messi was the favorite for the Golden Ball as player of the tournament, an award he won eight years ago. Now he's second to Kylian Mbappé of France. The final game on Thursday significantly shook up the betting for Golden Boot for top goal-scorer of this tournament. It went to Luka Modrić of Croatia and Messi.
