World Cup Addicts

Tuchel's side arrive among the favourites after a perfect qualifying record, Kane captaining at his third World Cup. A 2018 semi-final score to settle with Croatia first up.

Dalić's perennial overachievers, with 40-year-old Modrić captaining a record sixth World Cup. Last dance for a golden generation — and dangerous in the knockouts.

Four-time African champions, but with a twist: Queiroz replaced Addo weeks out, and star man Kudus is injured. Semenyo, Williams and Ayew still make them a live dark horse.

Christiansen's organised Canaleros are back for a second World Cup, much improved since 2018. Outsiders in a tough group — but awkward, fit and dangerous on the break.
