Brazil has always been the favorite to win the world cup trophy, this cannot be separated from how the Selecao team has such extraordinary player material that they are always favorites in each of the four annual events even though their best achievement since the last 20 years is reaching the semifinals when they hosted in 2014, despite having an even squad in every line, Brazil must not underestimate its potential opponents.especially since the world cup is a proving match for every country to beat any potential opponent.including the Brazilian national team, reflecting on the previous edition of the world cup in where Brazil was beaten by the Belgian dark horses even though they were favorites to win their 6th title, but this is football anything can happen
Brazil and Argentina no longer enjoy a monopoly in football, like they used to do two decades ago. Other countries (mostly Europeans) have caught up, thanks to players of migrant origin (especially in the case of countries such as Germany, England, France and Belgium). Those European teams that are mainly comprised of native players are still a level behind the CONMEBOL teams. I am talking about teams such as Italy, Serbia and Poland. IMO, this time the champions may come from UEFA, and for CONMEBOL the prospects doesn't look very bright.
