France or Argentina, who wins the World cup 2026?

[Cointxz]

It's better to have threads related to this World Cup issue expressed in the main thread only rather than having multiple threads discussing the same when we can streamline this place.
after all, what it says is not just about two teams or a strange thing that we can discuss separately.

For now it's better to just lock the thread.

This should be the ideal way on discussing this topic but I guess we can’t stop users on creating new thread despite there’s already a general thread since there’s no rules that limiting them to stick on single thread for a single sports.

However, since this World cup is very popular I don’t have a problem for this seasonal specific thread since this will be flooded and die later on once the world cup ends.

Reporting this to the moderator maybe is the right move.

Can you say for sure that France will win the 2026 World Cup? I never see anything certain in sports and any situation can arise at any time since it is a game of football. I think any situation can arise at any time on the field of play. Even then, there is the world champion Argentina, there is the strong Spain, there is Norway, there is England, now it is impossible to say who will win and who will lose from here, so in this uncertainty, I cannot say whether France will win or not.

Exactly, one can say for sure when its not really over because in football anything can happen at any day, so deciding who will win when the tournament is not yet over can make one to be upset, I know some people have already concluded on the team that will win but there are some teams that are still qualified and checking their statistics will make one to understand that there are every possibility that the teams that we might think not to win, will win the World Cup.

Norway has played a fair game since the beginning of the tournament so if they reach the final stage, i'll want them to win it just because of Erling Haaland. Everyone is saying that FIFA rigged the World cup to favor Argentina since they met weaker teams instead of competitive teams, it may be true or not, but my question is that if FIFA staged the World cup in favor of Argentina, then what will happen when they start meeting strong teams or if they reach the final will they still play against a weak team? it is very possible that Argentina can still reach the final and lose it. I also want a different team to win the world cup instead of Argentina, Spain and France because they all just won the world cup since 2010. England is also another team that i want to win the world cup, but the squad is not solid enough.

I've never actually had too much opinion on who I want to win ths world cup, my options from the start had been Portugal and Norway and since Portugal is out of the race all of my support just moved over to Norway, plus I'm a huge fan of Haaland so seeing him raise the world cup trophy will be a real moment for me, I'm looking to it happening, I really hope it does, Norway winning this world cup will be one of my most exciting moments this year.

After seeing the performance of France yesterday against Morocco, are you still confident about Norway? football doesn't work with emotions; everything is practical in the pitch and with the performance of France since the group stage matches till now that they have reached the semifinals, i don't think any team will be able to stop them. The most difficult thing is that even if Norway wins England, they will meet Argentina in the semifinal so it's quite a difficult situation for Norway but nevertheless, anything can still happen.
    Argentina and France are the barrier of the other teams in these stages because if they have been eliminated, the other teams would have had the opportunity of winning it but with how the competition is going, we might have a repeat of 2022 World Cup finals between Argentina versus France and if that happens again, France will not fail to win it because they have what it takes to win Argentina this time around.

[Somto9Light]

Argentina has never failed to impress with its big performances in all big world tournaments. Most people think that they are lucky to go with winning streaks. It may be strange to some, but that is an element of the excitement of football. I believe that the fact that you claim that Argentina will be champions in the future is a most interesting one to watch till the very end.

It will be more fun to really watch till the very end and that is just most people are just waiting for. But, if they really stand to the very last point and win the World Cup, that will really be a good one because they really try and push so hard to make sure they really secure that position and its not luck like what other people will be saying, especially as they feel that Messi has being showed too many favours, which has help them to be in that position.

[bitLeap]

It might seem unlikely to some but I'd prefer for Norway to win this world cup, if for nothing else then to just see the Haaland meme keep growing, plus Norway's performance has really been admirable so far and the same countries winning the world cup repeatedly doesn't really bring much excitement to it for me.
But if I'm talking about the popular world cup winners then I'd prefer for France to win over Argentina but this is all wishes and hopes, i don't really know what to expect at the end of each match.

You are right, I would also like to see Norway become World Cup champions this year, not because of Haaland's memes, but rather the perfection that Norway brought to the World Cup. We already know Norway's iconic celebration when the game is over? well if Norwey managed to win the World Cup then the celebration will be much more exciting, the Viking atmosphere is felt in the stadium and imagine 1 Stadium celebrating together led by Haaland?

If I had to choose between these two teams, assuming they meet in the final, I would definitely back France. Although I also really like the way Messi has played in this tournament, except for the moments when he has been overly aggressive and allowed himself to rake opponents' legs from behind with the studs of his boots. That certainly doesn't do him any credit.

Other than that, Argentina are a very strong team, and I think they have every chance of reaching another World Cup final. But if we do get a repeat of the last final, I'd like to see France come out on top this time. I think Mbappé and his team deserve to become world champions.

There is nothing wrong when we have a separate thread for people to give there own opinions about who is going to win the 2026 world cup tournament. Like we all know that the world cup has been rigged to favour Argentina, I don't think Argentina will be able to win this year world cup and what happened before may not happen. I am anticipating to see both Argentina and France to play at the final stage of this world cup which is going to be very interesting.

That's right though, everyone got reason on the team they want to win the World Cup, there are some that are rooting for France and there are some that are also rooting for Argentina, which they have their own reason on that and to be honest, the two teams are very strong team, as it makes it hard for one to accurately predict which team will win. But, as for me, I'm not against any of them, any team that just wins I'm happy for them.

[lodocus]

I’m wondering if we’ll get to see another France-Argentina final. The only time the same final has been played twice in a row was in 1986 and 1990. Back then, Argentina and Germany faced off in the final twice in a row, with Argentina winning the first and Germany the second. If there’s a France-Argentina final this time, France will clearly be the favorite, but I can’t predict who will win. The last final was quite exciting.

If I had to make a comparison, Argentina currently looks to be the favorite over Spain.

Yea, and I think we both are one the same spot. Argentina are a strong team, but France is also very strong too. In the last two games of Argentina, they have managed to come back and win the match, especially there last game with Egypt, coming back from a 2:0 lead to winning the game 3:2. But even at that, I still believe if there is a repeat of the 2022 world cup finals, I would back France. France has a powerful team who hasn't faced serious challenges in winning there matches all long in the competition. See how they won Morocco yesterday, and maybe, they might keep winning. France is ready for the semi's, while Argentina are yet to play there game with Switzerland. Until  then, we will know wether there is a chance of them both meeting in the finals. But if I have my way, I don't want any of them winning, I still maintain, I want a new winner, but if it doesn't work, then France

Norway will most definitely be out when they faced England. They have their weakness and if anyone of us here saw the game against Ivory Coast, we can all tell they do ot stand a chance against England.
Now, amongst all of the managers left in this tournament, Thomas Tuchel is the best of them all tactically, and with France and Argentina as the last two winners of this tournament, I would love to see either Spain or England finally winning this tournament. Nothing more, nothing less.

France is the favorite for me because they're undisputable and no team can withstand them. They have one of the best squad in this competition and they're looking very promising. Argentina have struggled twice to make a comeback and I believe they wouldn't survive the third one.

[Doan9269]

It is indeed a great performance from France in defeating Morocco on their yesterday match and this time I'm beginning to see France going more closer to what I intended to see them doing, well Argentina still has a good stand in this world cup and they have been performing well also, things could only get more better and if both France and Argentina eventually meet at the finals and we see who will definitely take this year 2026 FIFA world cup home.

[Woodie]

Honestly when I compare the way France has won it's games with how Argentina has got there..I think it's safe to say France is by far the better team..they are a more solid both in defense and attack and faced more challenging opponents than team Argentina. At this point the comparison is also almost like team France versus the Fifa favored Argentina but time will tell.

[jaberwock]

The first-ever World Cup with 48 teams gives enough entertainment for the people because quality is improved, and many countries did a good job while a few were on another level. This was really fun to watch because having a team like Cape Verde in the knockout is amazing stuff.

Now after Morocco's exit, just 7 teams remain in the event. All have enough potential, but France and Argentina are surely hot favourites to win because both are doing a good job with quality players Messi and Mbappe leading the table as well. It's not easy to talk about the winner. After watching past games and performances of teams, there's no doubt it's all about these two countries, but still a surprise is possible from any country.

Basically, no one can say for sure which team will win the World Cup trophy but you can make a guess based on the performance of the teams. Some are putting Argentina ahead and some might be France but football is a game of uncertainty. Many gamblers lose their bets based on past statistics. Many great teams have been eliminated from the current World Cup due to poor performance whereas those teams have won the World Cup trophy multiple times in the past. France is given a higher position by many analysts than any other team because they have been performing well from the start but if they lose in the semi final then it will not be surprising because winning will depend on the strategy adopted by the teams to win and their ability to execute that strategy on the field.

[Strongkored]

Does anyone share the same feeling or wish with me? What are your thoughts or wish about who wins the tournament?

I’m currently favoring Norway after they managed to eliminate Brazil who were also a favorite, especially given the expectation that Ancelotti would improve the team.
However, Norway’s performance brilliantly defied those predictions. Against England, Norway is considered the underdog, but there is a chance for a surprise result.

[HajiBagi]

I’m wondering if we’ll get to see another France-Argentina final. The only time the same final has been played twice in a row was in 1986 and 1990. Back then, Argentina and Germany faced off in the final twice in a row, with Argentina winning the first and Germany the second. If there’s a France-Argentina final this time, France will clearly be the favorite, but I can’t predict who will win. The last final was quite exciting.

If I had to make a comparison, Argentina currently looks to be the favorite over Spain.

What makes some people think that France and Argentina will be the one to play the final of the World Cup? There are still many countries that have high chance of getting to the final, all the countries that remain in the World Cup are strong and they can defeat each other, although France defeated Morocco and people are expecting Argentina to defeat Switzerland, on paper Argentina is a better team but we should not underestimate Switzerland because if they are not good they will not be able to reach where they are now.

France will face Spain if Spain defeat Belgium and Argentina is going to face England it England defeat Norway and Argentina defeat Switzerland, anything can happen but base on the paper i selected the teams that are better, did we think that Argentina can defeat England and France can defeat Spain and France vs Argentina will play the final? I don’t see that happen unless the FIFA wants to do what Argentina did against Egypt to favour Argentina and qualify to the final.

I also thought it was impossible, although it turned out to be possible in the end. Norway has made a big surprise in this World Cup, without Haaland they might not have been able to get this far. What if Haaland is injured or the opposing team closely guards his movements in the next match, of course Norway will have difficulty scoring goals. Although Mbappe is the mainstay of the French front line, the overall squad that France has is more complex than Norway's. If Mbappe is absent from scoring goals, they still have Dembele and Olise who act as reliable creators in midfield. This time the sun is shining more on France than on its closest rivals Argentina and other teams.

Soccer is always full of surprises in this World Cup. Fans already watch enough upsets just because of this right now. Talking about the final between Argentina and France is too early because Spain and England also have good potential. Norway has done an impressive job and has the limelight of fans. I am sure it's going to be challenging for these teams to compete in semifinals and have spots in the final because now Spain is going to be facing Belgium here.

Most chances are Spain will be the winner, and then the England and Norway game is also not easy. After this, Argentina will be facing the winner of Norway vs. England. These matches are going to be challenging for all teams.
