With the expansion to 48 teams, the suspense is high! Let's take a look at the 6 teams most likely to win the championship this year, each with its own weaknesses.

On June 30, 2026, three matches of the World Cup Round of 32 were played. With Germany's penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay and subsequent elimination, the Netherlands and Japan, who qualified as the top two teams in Group F, both lost to their respective opponents and failed to advance to the Round of 16. The teams that qualified from the highly anticipated "Group of Death" now face the embarrassing prospect of being completely eliminated.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers Round of 18 is nearing its end, and Japan's performance in Group C has indeed caused concern among many fans. Looking at the current standings, while Japan's overall strength is among the top in Asia, they have exposed many weaknesses when facing truly world-class teams. Group C, where Japan is located, is not without reason, being called the "Group of Death." Besides Japan, the other teams in Group C include Saudi Arabia, Australia, Bahrain, and Indonesia. Looking at the matches already completed, Japan lost 0-1 at home to Saudi Arabia and only managed a 1-1 draw away against Australia.
