I think we will have an uncertain World Cup and it's really difficult to predict the winner. I give a slight advantage to the French, they have a dangerous team full of players who play at the highest level, Mbappe, Pogba, Griezmann, Kante, Dembele, Lemar, and Benzema, who is having an excellent year, he can even take the title of the best scorer. He took that title in CL, maybe he can do it again?

Now coming to Qatar, there is a chance that they can be the dark horses.
I also think there are some slim chances for Qatar to qualify in the next round. Odds are against them, by bookies Ecuador and Senegal are favorites, but they are playing at home and they invested a lot in their team. I guess we will see are ready for big competitions.
