World Cup Addicts

Martínez's reigning Nations League champions, carrying a moving tribute to Diogo Jota. Ronaldo's record sixth and final World Cup. Group favourites and title dark horses.

The Leopards are back after 52 years, via wins over Cameroon, Nigeria and Jamaica. Desabre's resilient, Europe-based side is a genuine dark horse to escape the group.

History on debut — the first Central Asian nation at a World Cup, now coached by 2006 winner Cannavaro. Khusanov and Shomurodov lead, but the group is brutal.

Lorenzo's dark horses are back after missing Qatar, finishing above Brazil in qualifying. James captains; in-form Luis Díaz is the match-winner. Live for a deep run.
