France or Argentina, who wins the World cup 2026?

[Catenaccio]

Nothing is impossible in football, but considering the match schedule, it's quite realistic to predict that France and Argentina will meet again in the final.
And I also hope the same as you, even though I said nothing is impossible in football, but I hope France can avenge their defeat four years ago in the final. That's quite reasonable in my opinion, because so far France has continued to show quite impressive performances, so it's very reasonable for them to win the title. I'm sure everyone agrees that France is dubbed the strongest team at the moment.

They have yet met each other in the final match, and Argentina even have yet won their quarter final match against Switzerland. After that, both France and Argentina will have to play their semi final matches too, so let's wait till their endings in those matches and consider their players available for the final match as well as player fitness for that.

France will have a very hard semi final match with Spain, they might lose in that match too.
With Argentina, if they beat Switzerland, their possible opponent in semi final can be England or Norway, and I think more about England. It will be a tough semi final for Argentina too, so nothing to sure that the final match will be between Argentina and France.

There is no doubt that the opponents in the semi-finals  will be very tough. All four teams that will qualify for the semi-finals have an equal  chance of becoming world champions. So it is difficult to say which two teams will qualify for the final. In the france vs  spain match , both teams have an equal chance of qualifying for the final. Although france is considered a bit of a favorite, the spanish team is also very  strong and organized. On the other hand, Argentina will face switzerland today in the vquarter-finals. It will not be easy for argentina to win this match either. Argentina will wait for Norway or England in the  semi-finals.

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.

I didn't say they were the most likely to win, I want them to win but that's doesn't mean that they are the best team in this world cup, there is a difference between what and what they know will happen, France are the most likely to win this world cup, Argentina too but I want for Norway to win, not like I would place a bet against France if they were to play against Norway because I obviously know that France are more likely to win against Norway.

[el che]

I have to admit my bias here because I'm from Argentina and there is absolutely nothing we want more than to go back to back as world champions! Of course France is an incredibly powerful squad and everyone expects them to lift the trophy, which is fair enough given their talent, but I believe that in 90 or 120 minutes of a final anything can happen.
Spain hasn't shown the kind of strength everyone expected from them before the World Cup kicked off, I think they are going to find it difficult to get past France in the semis, so France reaching the final feels like a certainty at this point.
Now on the Argentina side of things, we just love to complicate our lives and make the entire country suffer until the very last second, there's nothing new there, so while I expect us to get through the quarterfinals and semifinals, I am 100% expecting a lot of drama attached to it.
Once we reach the final, I think Messi will put on yet another masterclass and play the match of his life and the rest of the squad will match that, combined of course with some heroics from Dibu in goal, I think we will edge it. It might go down to penalties again. One thing is for sure, we were treated to one of the greatest finals in football history four years ago in Qatar and I wouldn't be surprised if this one turns out to be even more thrilling. I can already see a script where France goes up by two early on, only for Messi to lead an unbelievable comeback to bring us right back into it.

I understand what you are saying, you just want Norway to win, actually everyone wants their favorite team to win the World Cup, like Brazil fans want Brazil to win the World Cup, Morocco fans want Morocco to win, so everyone wants this team to win the World Cup, but in reality only the team that performs the best, they will wins.

Currently France is the strongest team and the most likely team to win the World Cup, we can all see this very well, but if I were a supporter of another team and if they are still alive, then I would definitely want my favorite team to win.

Anyway, let's see, France will now face Spain in the semi-finals, Spain is ahead in terms of head-to-head record between France and Spain, but in terms of current performance I would definitely consider France to be the most likely to win.

[Slow death]

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

I think the same way. I believe Norway should win this World Cup. If they don't manage to beat England in today's game, then England should win the World Cup. They haven't won the World Cup in over 40 years. That's a long time for a country that has the best football league in the world, in my opinion. So I'm rooting for Norway and England to win this World Cup. It's a shame that both teams have to face each other today and one of them will be eliminated. Now, if both teams are eliminated, then I'll root for Argentina and Spain.

[Pandorak]

Argentina needed to show their competency and avoid anything that could cause a silly mistake in this so that they don't lose out, France with definitely wanted to get some advantage against them if they put eventually meet at the finals, is going to be more contented because the two teams are very strong with some key players and we don't know what could eventually come out of the match until the end.

I think this is the final that many soccer fans have been looking forward to the most. If Argentina and France face off again, the match will remind us of their previous World Cup final, which was incredibly intense. For France, this will certainly be a golden opportunity to avenge their previous loss in a penalty shootout, they’ll definitely be fired up. And judging by both teams’ performances so far, the chances of them meeting again in the final are very high.

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

France seems to be more likely to win this World Cup match, but Norway in this 2026 World Cup can surprise everyone. And Argentina is slowly approaching the final, but I don't know what the end result of the match will be because it is very difficult to predict. If Norway can win this World Cup, it will definitely be the best for them, because Haaland will be able to leave his reputation, he is a legendary player and he can express it through the World Cup.

Norway has been doing fantastically well in this world cup,  they are even showing capabilities of surprises but in it all, I still do not think they have a chance,  the best they can attain may be the semi-final maybe,  and find themselves battling for the third place.  The likes of France and Argentina are very particular about winning and they are putting the work, By work and performances,  I am more aligned with France winning but by other standards,  maybe Argentina.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

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 rather any other term wins but not Argentina or England  
The media will go crazy. I don't mind if Mbappe takes it or Haaland. Both have really been impressive so far. Mbappé, with all his huge goal tally from the club level, has been trophyless so far. A world cup would be a very good consolation for him

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.

Morocco is now out
Belgium also now out

Norway's chances of winning the quarter-finals are also very low, England have a strong team, their defense and attack are balanced, so it is very difficult for Norway or Haaland to break through England's defense and score. On the other hand, England's attack line will continue to attack Norway's defense again and again.

Even if they are able to beat England somehow, it seems impossible to win against Argentina. Because Argentina is very good at match planning, Argentina knows very well how to play against which team. The two teams in the final are now somewhat clear, we are going to watch the France vs. Argentina final again. It is not yet possible to say who will win the title.

[MAAManda]

Having a new champion means a new country's name enters the history & I would like to see that happen. However, since Morocco & Belgium have already been eliminated, that's no longer possible for them. There are six teams left now, they're France, Spain, Norway, England, Argentina & Switzerland.

France has the best chance of winning the trophy, but it would be interesting if, in the future, Norway, England, or Switzerland were to win it instead. BTW, Switzerland will face Argentina, can we expect anything from them, considering what we saw in the match between Argentina & Egypt?

[thesebassv]

I heard a theory that the winner of the World cup usually comes from the brackets where Japan plays, in which case the World Cup winner could be Norway or Argentina. Personally, I'd like Norway to win since the men's team has never won a World Cup, and that way they could equal the women's team that won the 1995 World Cup after defeating Germany 2-0 in the final

The pattern has changed. The possibility of France meeting Argentina in the final is still very likely to happen.
If it's France vs England, this is a possibility that I think could happen.
France has reached the semifinals after beating Morocco. This means that the hope for Morocco has fallen. Belgium has also fallen because they had to accept defeat against Spain.

England or Norway still have to beat each other. Meanwhile, Argentina has the opportunity to reach the semifinals because it will play against Switzerland. In fact, Switzerland is not a team that is above Argentina's level.

[HustleZ]

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.

A wild guess is appreciated, but what is more appreciated is that a person sticks to reality. France, Argentina and Spain are the Three favourites statistically and performance wise too. Imo it would be great if norway even reaches the Semis because Them winning against england would be a big deal and it looks hard for them. But for the sake of the Haaland meme i’ll have to support norway against England  

[Youngrebel]

Morroco has been kicked out and a lot of Africans didn't care because they said that they are not playing to represent Africa, that's actually a stupid and selfish statement to make. It's quite unfortunate that they lost to France without scoring a single goal and I actually thought they had potential. France and Argentina seem to be the main focus but let's not forget that england are also formidable and Norway as well. If I had to choose between France or Argentina to win the world cup I would go with France to win because players like Mbappe and dembele are out to break records.

[Franctoshi]

The state of the game now is no longer only between France and Argentina; England is getting stronger this time, Spain is resilient and doing what they know best at doing, and Norway on their own is the most shocking of them all, showcasing their incredible form and performance to date. Now between France and Spain, the line has been drawn for them; one is definitely not making it to the final stage. I picked up interest in England and Norway lately, seeing their efforts, especially that of Norway, how Haaland has been able to shoulder the national team down here with his impressive goals. It will also interest me if a new winner emerges this time, so it won't be something that keeps rotating among the usual teams.

The qualifying rounds are now drawing closer to the finals. All that remains are the national teams still competing in the quarterfinals, where they’ll battle it out for a spot in the semifinals. I think we’re now starting to get a clearer picture of which teams will make it to the finals or even who will win the World Cup. Among the remaining national team there are only three strong contenders for the title. And I think Argentina remains the clear favorite to win given that they’re the top-ranked team according to FIFA rankings. And Argentina’s performance so far has also been impressive in their recent matches. So I personally believe that Argentina will be the winner of the 2026 World Cup. But I think there’s a possibility that Argentina will face France again just like in the 2022 World Cup final. It will also make the finals even more exciting given that France will likely fight with all its might to avoid another defeat like the one in the past.

So far, the best position among the 6 teams remaining in the  tournament is England, France and Argentina. England and argentina have  not yet qualified for the semi-finals. But they are in good form. They will have a high chance of winning  today's match.

France is considered the strongest team in the world cup. And they have also proven their capabilities. In the semi-finals, they  are going to face another giant team of Europe, Spain. France will be considered favorites, but if they make  any mistakes in the match, they are also  likely to be defeated.

Argentina will face Switzerland today. This team is not  weak. They are able to counterattack very quickly. So argentina's defenders will have to perform  very carefully today. They can not make the same mistakes they made against Egypt today.

Norway has been doing fantastically well in this world cup,  they are even showing capabilities of surprises but in it all, I still do not think they have a chance,  the best they can attain may be the semi-final maybe,  and find themselves battling for the third place.  The likes of France and Argentina are very particular about winning and they are putting the work, By work and performances,  I am more aligned with France winning but by other standards,  maybe Argentina.

Everyone is talking mostly about France and Argentina in this regard because we already know that it will definitely fall in between the two of them to meet at the finals, there is no much confidence in Norway because they will definitely got eliminated as many assumed by the semi-final, even though anything is bound to happen as a change and we may be surprised to see them going with the final as well, only that the chances are very small and we don't know what tomorrow may say regarding which team will definitely contend against each other for the final.

So I'm rooting for Norway and England to win this World Cup. It's a shame that both teams have to face each other today and one of them will be eliminated. Now, if both teams are eliminated, then I'll root for Argentina and Spain.

Considering the current strength and quality of the teams plus their path to the final, I predict the final will be between France and Argentina. If this happens, it will be a repeat of the final four years ago. While Argentina won the trophy last time, this time it will be France.

In my opinion, among the remaining teams France depth is very strong in all areas unlike Spain, England, Norway, and even Argentina. It could be said that France has a super strong team so far, even reaching the semifinals without any difficulty. So far France has four clean sheets, 16 goals scored, only two goals conceded, never conceded first and never conceded more than one goal. This proves that France's depth is fully prepared to face anyone in this World Cup.
