Underdogs

James – Uruguay – Have the potential to win their group and will rely on Darwin Nunez and Federico Valverde, along with a few other good players and the old guard to be a threat against some of the favourites.

Laura –  France – so, hear me out. I know they have been successful at International level. However, people are ruling them out due to injuries and I think they may surprise people.

Adam – Australia – I have to say Australia for obvious reasons. Not expecting my country to make it out of the group stage, but expecting some fight and good performances over the group stage. We’ll always fight and punch above our weight, so looking forward to what we can do in Qatar.
