The Fifa World Cup 2018 in Russia is closing on as it is only less than a year for the prestigious competition to start. The last one to get the hands on the cup was Germany but there is a lot more competition than the last time so nothing can be assured. Here we are taking a look at top contenders for the Fifa World Cup 2018 in Russia.
5. ITALY
The four-time world champions are definitely a threat in the competition for any team. With the likes of Veteran Gianluigi Buffon leading the way, they are sure to leave a mark on the competition. They have arguably the best defence with the likes of Bonucci and Chiellini and a strong midfield with the likes of Verratti.
4. BRAZIL
After a disappointing world cup campaign at their own backyard in 2014 and some unforgettable memories, Brazil needs to show the World why they are the Best team in the competition having the most World cup to their name. This time they seem to be much stronger with Neymar leading the way who had a disappointing injury during the last WC missing him some crucial games. Players like Coutinho, Dani Alves and Marcelo are some top players to look out for.
3. FRANCE
The 2016 Euro Cup runner up doesn't need much introduction because they are definitely one of the top contenders for the World Cup. Their squad is nearly perfect with the likes of great young talents filling every position of the field. For defence, there is Samuel Umtiti along with Raphael Varane, having a better midfield with Paul Pogba and N'golo Kante and the front line capable with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Alexandre Lacazette who are capable of demolishing any defence easily. Look out for France everyone!
2. SPAIN
The 2010 WC winners were not that great in the last campaign but they have recovered their form lately with some amazing display. They missed their style of play after Xavi left the team and was one of the reasons for their failure, but due to the addition of young talents like Isco and Asensio, they seem to have recovered the balance in the team.They have a strong defence in the form of Sergio Ramos and Gerrard pique. Most of the Spanish players are from either Barcelona or Real Madrid so they might have a bit of improved chemistry over other teams.
1. GERMANY
Football is a simple game, 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.
The famous quote by former England player Gary Lineker simply defines the German team.
The current holder of the FIFA World Cup beating Argentina in the 2014 World Cup finals, they are definitely favourites for retaining the World Cup. The recent success in the Confederation cup without the main players is an example of the German National team squad depth. With a world class midfield, with the likes of Toni Kroos and an excellent front line with the likes of Draxler and Muller, they are sure to run riot in the upcoming World Cup.
