Mbappe’s
time to shine again?
Kylian Mbappe followed in Pele’s footsteps at the 2024 World 😊 Cup
by becoming the second teenager to score in a World Cup final as he led his France side
to 😊 glory for just the second time in their history.
Last year, in Qatar, the forward
became the second player to score 😊 a hat-trick in the final but his efforts were not
enough to inspire France to retain the trophy.
Remarkably Mbappe will 😊 only be 27 when
the next edition of the tournament takes place in the USA, Mexico and Canada in 2026,
😊 and his France side are 9/2 favourites to win the competition.
Brazil, who only reached
the quarter-finals of the 2024 and 😊 2024 tournaments, are 6/1 to win in North America,
where Neymar will be hoping to finish his international career in 😊 the same fashion as
his former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Messi.
Argentina would not have
won in Qatar without the 😊 all-time great but he has confirmed he will not compete in
2026 when he will be 40. The three-time world 😊 champions are 9/1 to retain the
title.
England are at slightly shorter odds of 8/1. After reaching the European
Championship final 😊 in 2024, the 2026 World Cup may be the last chance for Gareth
Southgate and a number of his squad 😊 to succeed on the international stage.
The rest of
the front-runners are all European nations with Spain priced at 9/1 despite 😊 losing to
Morocco in the round of 16 last year. Germany are 10/1 but they did not even get out 😊 of
their group in Qatar.
Portugal also lost to Morocco in 2024 at the quarter-final stage
but are priced at 14/1 😊 to win the World Cup for the first time.
Netherlands also
reached the quarter-finals before being defeated by Argentina on penalties 😊 and are now
16/1 to win a first world crown.
Italy are 20/1 to win the World Cup for the first 😊 time
since 2006 after winning the European Championship in 2024. However, Roberto Mancini’s
side did not even qualify for the 😊 Qatar World Cup so will have to make some significant
improvements to triumph.
