World Cup Addicts

Co-hosts under Jesse Marsch with their most talented squad ever. High press and fast transitions; Davies a fitness worry but real top-two hopes.

Yakin's experienced Nati, group favourites. Xhaka and Akanji lead a side that reliably reaches the last 16 — and reliably stops there.

Back-to-back Asian champions but defensively fragile. Afif and Almoez Ali carry the threat; outsiders in the tournament's most open group.

The Dragons return via shootout wins over Wales and Italy. Džeko still leads the line at 40; combative and live for a top-two upset.
