    2022 World Cup: Why Brazil, France, England and others could fail in Qatar

    We take a look at what could prevent the favourites for the 2022 World Cup from winning it.

    Looking at the strength of Tite’s squad, it’s obvious why Brazil are favourites to win the 2022 World Cup. Since winning the 2002 World Cup, Brazil have only made it past the quarter-finals once. In 2022, they have won three games 4-0, two games 5-1 and another 3-0. Chile, Paraguay, South Korea, Tunisia and Ghana are among the countries woh have been defeated by the South Americans.

    They smashed their way through South American qualifying, winning 14 games and drawing three of their 17 fixtures. And to add, they scored 40 goals and conceded only five.

    So what could be their downfall? Against Ghana, the full-backs were Eder Militao, who plays at center-back for Real Madrid. Militao filled in at right-back and Alex Telles, the Manchester United left-back currently on loan at Sevilla, was on the left. Brazil strength is their spine and the strength of it could be enough to get them over the line on December 18, if they are to reach the final.

    When you look at the France squad on paper, you will see why they are the reigning world champions. An abundance of talent of attack with the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema and Ousmane Dembélé, may help them to reach another final this year, or perhaps even retain the trophy.

    Off-field problems are where the issues lie. Mbappé is having a rift with the French Football Federation over sponsorship deals and Paul Pogba has had his problems on and off the field. Whether Didier Deschamps has the ability to keep all the stars aligned remains to be seen.

    England’s preparation for the World Cup could not have gone any worse. Gareth Southgate’s side have been relegated from the top tier of the UEFA Nations League, finishing bottom of a group with Hungary, Italy and Germany. The reliance on Harry Kane could also be a cause for concern going into the tournament. An injury to Kane before or during the tournament would prove disastrous for the Three Lions.

    Southgate’s conservative approach could once again prove to be fatal. Holding back the likes of Phil Foden to preserve a narrow lead has driven England fans mad in recent times. The trust he has shown in Harry Maguire also adds concern. Maguire has been left out by Manchester United in their last four games and his confidence is close to rock bottom. The defensive uncertainty may result in England underperforming this winter.

    Argentina are always fancied going into a World Cup and this year is no different. Lionel Messi is still about, which would give most teams a chance. Lionel Scaloni’s side have impressed in recent times and are the current Copa America champions, having beat Brazil in the 2021 final.

    The Albiceleste gave Italy a 3-0 beating in the Finalissima and have won their last four games by a combined score of 14-0. They have been drawn in a group with Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia.  They should advance to the knockouts but I would fear for them in the latter stages due to their defence.Nicolas Otamendi is now 34 and has played more competitive minutes than any other Argentina player since last summer.
