Qatar spent a lot of money to build and make its stadium and infrastructure very attractive. Besides, this World Cup is the first in the region.
Now, how successful will be, will be evaluated throughout the games.
I agree that in this game there isn't a clear favourite, most teams are equivalent with slight advantage for Brazil then Argentina but as everyone knows, in World Cup, you always see surprises and big teams might be eliminated early.
Btw, I hope there will be a new world champion outside that has won the world cup before.
There is a chance that we will get a new world champion at this world championship, but the chances of that are not great.
The main favorites at this world championship are already the usual national teams that have been world champions several times, such as Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, Spain...
Of the national teams that have never been world champions, according to predictions, the Netherlands, Belgium and Croatia have the best chances.
At the last world championship in Russia, Croatia lost to France in the final, so there is certainly a chance that we get a new world champion.
