In my life I would never have imagined that Morocco would be able to participate in a World Cup semi-final (I'm not putting it down, but that was something unbelievable)
Germany was easily eliminated and had a poor performance in the 2018 and 2022 cup.
Italy did not participate in the last world cups (2018-2022)
Croatia beating Brazil sensationally (2022)
Football can always surprise and at the world cup in Qatar we saw very well how Morocco performed with above average quality. Germany, who had previously been seeded as champions, had to return home sooner than imagined and Luka Modric managed to create a nightmare for Brazil and what hurt quite a bit for Italy, who at that time did not qualify for the Qatar world cup, because they did not qualify in the preliminary round of grub.
I will be very curious to know how the 2026 world cup will be!
I have no doubt that we will have several surprises, and I am sure that several teams will be more prepared and evolved in relation to this last world cup that we had
It's still quite a long time in my opinion and there are still more surprises to come, considering that there are still a few more years to prepare for 2026. Maybe the closest we can see is the Copa America and there also has a representative country which is quite extraordinary, because the Copa America too usually it will give birth to several new players in Latin American countries.
