Not hating them but someone outside the big ones winning the Cup would be great for the sport.
Canada is very excited about the upcoming WC!

Curacao jersey that will go down as a classic in years to come just for the novelty reasons alone.
And the rest! Sweden, Spain, Japan, South Africa, Peru, Costa Rica, Argentina. They’re all a thing of beauty.
Adidas have absolutely smashed it. The Nike ones are ugly as hell.

Spain and Argentina aren't the only big ones though.
Anyone but England and Germany for me.

But England hasn’t won the world cup in a long time! But anyway, I think it would be nice to see someone new winning it. I am all for the Netherlands for example.Spain and Argentina aren't the only big ones though.

A fan of the Dutch would usually be keen to get one of their kits, but the new Nike ones are underwhelming.
More likely to get one of the many sweet Adidas away kits.

Totally agree, there’s nothing interesting or standout about the Nike ones.
Adidas? They all seem to be cult classics. I’ve no idea how they’ve managed to do it for 30 or however many teams.
But yes, I think my bank account will be suffering!
Have you seen Greece and Ukraine? Those are some of my favourites (despite neither team likely to be at the WC). The collar on Ukraine feels like something I’ve seen on traditional Ukrainian clothing. No idea if it has a special name, but it’s a really nice detail. I’m also a fan of the ones with the multicolour Adidas logo.

Brazil have only won the World Cup once in my lifetime, and I was like 3 years old lol. I’d like to see them do it.

Spain are slight favorites, but it’s quite even,

Spain 5/1
England 6/1
Argentina 8/1
France 8/1
Brazil 17/2
Portugal 12/1
Pretty much guaranteed to be one of those teams.
Brazil odds feel off, they’re the least likely to win it from that list imo.
Quite like Portugal’s. France also seem to be undervalued (if you can call 8/1 “cheap”).

Yeah. They’re a fun team! Vini, Raphinha, Estevao. Ancelotti is a legend. So you never know! I imagine they will have crazy support this summer. Definitely felt they were the best represented nation at the Club World Cup last year.
Hard to see them being one of the favourites on paper, but maybe the stars can align.

Bought the Argentina one.
The Germany, Japan, Chile and Colombia away kits caught my eye so far.
The detail on the Ukraine one is nice.

Excellent choice! I saw the Argentina design last year, wasn’t that crazy about it. Now I’ve seen the real thing? It does look incredible.
Japan is also on my list. I like the Chile one too. Apparently it’s inspired by the Atacama where the ground cracks and you get wild flowers growing through them. Which I thought was pretty interesting.

Northern Ireland is still there at 2500/1 if anybody wants to waste a pound. The same odds as Jordan. New Caledonia, Haiti and Curacao are the ultimate outsiders at 5000/1.
For anybody not in the loop. Here is the semi-final playoff draw. The match is on Thursday. Just one match, no home and away. Fully expecting a beating against the 40/1 Italy.

The other playoffs are listed here.

How can Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland qualify for 2026 World Cup from European playoffs? Route, difficulty, future groups
While Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland missed out on automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup, they still have a final chance to get there via the European playoffs.

The Uruguay away kit might be an interesting one with the Black Panterish design will see how it looks in person.
Norway has gotten some nice kits from Nike recently but the WC ones are not really outstanding.

I accept.
* I wasn't being a bleep for no reason. I don't know if you post on Reddit, but I still check out the NBA 2k place. 1% enthusiasm, 99% ''you're trash.'' Anyway, the chatbot kept replying to me, telling me my response might not be a good idea. Then I did post, and it went exactly how the chatbot thought. They didn't get what I was saying.
My response here was more taking the p at the chatbot. I'm not the cardinal here.

Yeah I think the Uruguay ones are probably Nikes best work, but still not great. Agree on Norway too, I’ve seen people going crazy about them. They’re fine, and the blackout one is interesting. But it’s just all black everything at the end of the day (and probably not ideal in 120 degree sun like the CWC was
).

Realised Chile didn't qualify for the WC so getting hold of the sweet away kit will be harder and more expensive.

Some World Cup-related news.
''Zinédine Zidane has reached a verbal agreement to become France's head coach after the 2026 World Cup. ️ The move would bring an end to Didier Deschamps' 14 -year reign in charge of Les Bleus. Zizou has not been in management since leaving Real Madrid in 2021.''

I doubt that's going to happen, but I've learned not to rule it out just in case.
