France or Argentina, who wins the World cup 2026?

[knuckey]

I predict that the meeting will be repeated between France vs Argentina, and Argentina will win the World Cup this year again, I am even very sure with my prediction of 70% for now, meeting Switzerland will not mean anything for Argentina, the ones that are a little heavier are England or Norway, there are many oddities in the next match that will always benefit Argentina

[GxSTxV]

With the quarter finals kick starting today with France vs Morocco, and other teams to play each day, the 2026 world cup can only get interesting and more excited as the big names begin to play themselves.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal is out, and we still have few big names such as Messi, Mbappe, Halaand, Kane and few others left to battle for the semi finals and probably the finals.

If you ask me, I don't want Argentina nor France or even Spain to win this 2026 world cup. Argentina are the defending champions, France won the last edition before Argentina, and also played the finals against Argentina in the last edition. Spain was the winner 2010 I guess so.

I would really love to see a new winner, maybe Morocco, or England, or Norway or Belgium or even Switzerland, but certainly not Messi or Mbappe. Of course it football, I can't actually decide what happens.

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

Morocco is out! France won again today and it seems to be an easier match for them compared to what they have been through against Paraguay. The match of today showing us again that France has a strong team, Mbappe isn’t just a striker but the soul of his team, he has an excellent talent and effect to the rest of his teammates.

In the other hand, Argentina has a great team and everything, Messi is doing his best to make history as the best player in the world, he wants to succeed taking the second trophy and beat all records. However, we have seen the very mistakes always in favor of Argentina which tells us there’s something going on behind the scenes.

Football should be entertaining and away of all manipulation. May the best win with fairness. I don’t have any problems seeing new team winning this Cup or even the same teams, we just want to see fairplay and beautiful matches.

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.

I also take that final for granted; Switzerland wouldn't be able to stop Argentina, but when I think back to other World Cups, Switzerland has more World Cup experience than Cape Verde. Cape Verde almost beat Argentina if it weren't for the fact that they also had a goal disallowed. The only thing that could save Argentina is FIFA itself. I’m not happy with the refereeing I think they’re cheating a lot that’s the truth to me and the cheating favors Argentina.

Thank goodness you know its football we are talking about and that you really can not decide what happens in the end, so also myself and everyone else can't decide what happens, we all can only try to predict, speculate and so on, and in the end, it's still the team most qualified to win that will win..

And that is because winning the cup is not by wish, we can't wish it for a team, a team can't also simply wish it for themselves and they get it, no, they have to work really hard for it, if one team continues to win the world Cup year after year (or let me say season after season since the world is not played yearly) it simply means that the rest of the team from other countries haven't really put in their best to overthrow the defending champion.

France has already beat Morocco today and that means Morocco is finally off the world Cup chase, I feel that Argentina and France may likely end up playing the finals again like last season, and if this happens, then I would root for France to win the Cup.

[Powerjumboo]

France for sure.

They're dominated, previous match Argentina vs Egypt show us some clue. They almost get some plane ticket on those match and the Reff are too helping Argentina. We all know these.

I hoping more on France based on performance.

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.

come on guys.
If you daydream, will the trophy come home to you?
The teams that have won the trophy have built star players one after another and then worked hard, with tactics, and squad depth to win the trophy. Is the FIFA Cup a slot machine? We won last time, is it your turn to win this time? Lol

I also enjoy it when a weak team storms the tournament. It really makes the match very exciting. But I think the team that deserves it the most should get trophy. At the moment, that's probably France or Spain. Spain's technical skills also seem pretty strong to me. Argentina, as champions, have that hunger, but they've had some weak moments too. Football always rewards the team that's best prepared, not the team that's most blessed.

[junder]

The game of these two teams has a good similarity with them each having an equally good performance, but I think France is better than Argentina. The new news that is still hot is the occurrence of irregularities with the Argentina match yesterday, in my environment maybe even in my country almost most people think this World Cup is indeed set for Argentina. But I also think there are some irregularities that happened too, but yes I do not know what will happen but for sure Argentina has beaten EGYPT.

[famososMuertos]

OP: First, you start your discussion with the phrase "Ronaldo and Portugal are gone, but there are still some left..." Seriously, it's like thinking that with Ronaldo gone, only the rest remain. But the best teams and players in the world are still there. In fact, it's fair to say that this is the stage where we'll see the best teams and players fall.

These are the eight best teams, regardless of how they qualified, and most likely we'll have four teams that have already won the World Cup.

There's a very low chance of having two unprecedented finalists. The thing is, the world isn't ready for a final like Belgium vs. Norway, for example.  


Edit: Ah! Argentina.

[Jody.Drummer]

France for sure.

Maybe because he did win France in this World Cup, even more so France has a good performance so of course many people do not doubt that they can win the World Cup, but even though it is true that you say in football anything can happen even a team that is strong can be defeated because in any match anything can happen. With the remaining teams now in good form as evidenced by the matches that have lasted until now, argentina and England and others have a good performance as well this will be a fierce game even though some of the other big teams have gone home early.

[Julien_Olynpic]

A lot of people are saying Argentina would win but I think that might not happen because there's a lot of competition for the cup this time around and it's not going to be an easy one for Messi. Even though Argentina seems to be the favorite here the likes of mbappe and dumbele are also forces to contend with. Norway is also there and morroco as well but if I'm going to choose between Argentina and France I would go with France to win the world cup but at the end of the day anything can happen.

I completely agree with this. Ideally, I'd like a fresh team like Norway to win the championship, but I understand that's highly unlikely. If I had to choose between Argentina and France, I'd go with France. Argentina relies on Messi alone, while France relies on Mbappé and Doumbelé. Overall, the French team looks more resilient. Many are writing that Messi has an ankle injury he sustained in the match against Morocco. Nevertheless, Messi poses a serious problem for his opponents, and it will be difficult for France to beat Argentina.

Who else will I choose if not the greatest team in the world Argentina. It is not bad if Argentina defend their title while Messi is still there. Those guys have been throwing us off our feet with their incredible come back and great goal, but some of us will not want to acknowledge it.  But foot ball is an unpredictable stuff so person cannot know what will happen, anything could happen btw.

Maybe we can be making pedictions when Argentina meets with France at the final like it was in the 2022. Before that day come, Argentina is the number one and best of all. And I am rooting for them to win.

[Livingleged]

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.

There is nothing unlikely  about your  preference, everyone must definitely have their choice  as to which  country they want to win the world  cup and it must not necessarily  be the same with what others want. I will also like a new country  that hasn't won it before to win it also and with the few countries  left in the tournament, the only country  that may come close is actually  the Norway that you've mentioned.
And if the Norway  isn't a able to win it then I give my full support  for the French  team, there has been Alot of narrative  about  Argentina  being  favored  in this particular  tournament  which  I find mostly  like a biased  statement coming as result  of bittered  emotions, before  the match France vs Morocco  yesterday  I was hearing  Alot of people  saying  why were all the reffrees Argentina  Nationality? The FIFA  is trying  to eliminate  France! All this and that. I don't want to believe  that FIFA could make such silly things to favor  ajy particular  country  and that why I want a random country  that's not in the picture  now to win it.

[Samlucky O]

There's nothing that our wishes can change because the best team will definitely, win the world cup. France looks more promising than the rest big teams which means that they're the most favorite to win the world cup. However, for a big shock, I will like Morocco to win the world cup because no Africa nation have lifted up the world cup since history.

I agree with you about This, of course no one I certain about the country to win in this world cup but I will be glad if any of the African countries win this world cup since there is no record of any African country to lift the cup. So In conclusion I am concerned about Africa stepping up this time by lifting the cup for the first in history.

[Smartprofit]

Putting aside emotions and applying healthy pragmatism, it's safe to say that France's victory in the World Cup is currently more likely than Argentina's. 🙋

Yesterday, France defeated Morocco, meaning they need just one win to reach the final. Argentina faces a more difficult task: they must first defeat Switzerland, and then secure another victory before reaching the final. However, in my opinion, there's no guarantee that the final will be between France and Argentina, rather than between teams from other countries (there are five other worthy contenders).

As far as I understand, Messi didn't suffer any injuries at the World Cup. At least, I couldn't find any information about it. This means Argentina's chances of winning are still high.

By the way, the presence of Argentine referees didn't prevent France from defeating Morocco. Has the conspiracy theory been debunked? I can't believe it! Or maybe the conspirators are just lying low... 😉

[shinratensei_]

I feel France is gonna win the current world cup. After i saw how fluid their attacking line when they fought a top tier team such as Morocco who played low block, and they also thrased Morocco with clean sheet. It's hard to deny they not to win the world cup, though they will face Argentina in the final.
Yeah, the history between them and Argentina will repeat, but they will take revenge to win the final.

France's attacking line is more than enough to destroy Argentina's defense, which is still having loopholes. So i think France can win the final by effortless because they have Mbappe, Dembele, Doue and Olise upfront.
Those guys have speed and so clinical when they're have the ball in their foot. They also have proper finishing too. It's hard for Argentina to win against them when Argentina only rely upon Messi.

I also like the French team more right now, they're playing well both offensively and defensively. Morocco couldn't do anything against them yesterday, they were clearly planning to defend the entire match and only started trying to attack after they conceded a goal, but even then, they couldn't do anything. I like Argentina's defense much less, and I think France should score against that defense. But first France needs to beat Spain, because I think Spain is playing better than Argentina right now.

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.

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.

[Akbarkoe]

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.

[Hardyrobust]

I predict that the meeting will be repeated between France vs Argentina, and Argentina will win the World Cup this year again, I am even very sure with my prediction of 70% for now, meeting Switzerland will not mean anything for Argentina, the ones that are a little heavier are England or Norway, there are many oddities in the next match that will always benefit Argentina

I also take that final for granted; Switzerland wouldn't be able to stop Argentina, but when I think back to other World Cups, Switzerland has more World Cup experience than Cape Verde. Cape Verde almost beat Argentina if it weren't for the fact that they also had a goal disallowed. The only thing that could save Argentina is FIFA itself. I’m not happy with the refereeing I think they’re cheating a lot that’s the truth to me and the cheating favors Argentina.

First it was Cape Verde and then Egypt, against the same Argentina team. I wonder what FIFA is trying to do or achieve by this. If truly they want Argentina to win the world cup then there won't have been need for this competition, they would have just hand them the trophy without stressing this other countries because this world cup tournament seen to favour Argentina more than any other countries that ever per take in the tournament. Let's just watch and see what FIFA will do on the day Argentina will play against Switzerland.
