This is probably the most difficult World Cup to win for any nation, because you’re still going to see a lot of African teams and even Asian teams go toe to toe with the European giants throughout this tournament.
The gap is not what it used to be. African and Asian football have evolved massively over the last two decades. Most of their top players are now developing in elite European leagues, playing at the highest tactical and physical level every week. When countries like Morocco, Japan, Senegal, South Korea, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Algeria, and others arrive at a World Cup, they’re no longer showing up as underdogs hoping for a miracle, they’re coming with players who are already competing against the world’s best every weekend.
The coaching has improved too. Teams are far more organized tactically, better prepared defensively, and much smarter at exploiting weaknesses. Gone are the days when some nations would simply rely on passion and athleticism. Now they’re arriving with detailed game plans, structured pressing systems, defensive blocks, and clear attacking patterns.
What we’ve seen so far in this World Cup is proof of that. European teams are still strong, but they’re not steamrolling opponents the way many people expected. Teams like Morocco drawing Brazil, Japan holding the Netherlands, Cape Verde drawing Spain.
That’s why lifting this World Cup will be incredibly difficult. It won’t just be about beating the traditional powerhouses like Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Germany, or Spain. You’ll also have to navigate dangerous African, Asian, and even CONCACAF sides capable of punishing any mistake.
The era where people could look at the fixture and automatically hand big team
three points is gone. Football is becoming more global, the talent pool is deeper than ever, and this World Cup is showcasing exactly that. Every game feels like a potential upset waiting to happen.
Calling me a feminist is not an insult. I am in fact a raging feminist. Just that I don’t argue with you here about who pays for first dates or if you should send fare. I fight abusers and pedophile in courts with no institutional and organizational backing. I am a product of a society that has long benefited from women’s silence and shyness. A society that produces women with internalized misogyny and wants them as perfect victims. I have experienced how unkind the world is to women who are not angry enough.
I get mocked , insulted and harassed by perpetrators everywhere. So yes, I am an angry woman.
And that is why ladies and gentlemen, you’ll never humble me or put me in a box here. Because I am an angry woman.
The most underrated act of kindness is simply letting people be. Let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don't quite understand. Everyone has something that lights them up, let them shine, even if it's not your thing.

I really get a high from knowledge and doing research. The more I learn and deep dive into things I just get sooo amazed at the lives that existed, the beings that pioneered, the brains that discovered, the art that was created, the history of it all.
