Germany lost a crushing defeat, Portugal won the championship, the three favorites to win the World Cup in 2026 are freshly released

Last night, the third and fourth place in the UEFA Nations League started, and France defeated Germany 2-0 and won the third place. Portugal and Spain drew 2-2 in 120 minutes. Portugal won the penalty shootout 5-3 (total score 7-5), winning the UEFA Nations League championship. This is also the second time Portugal won the UEFA Nations League championship.

Perhaps some fans will say that the European League game has low value and everyone does not pay attention to it, but when it reaches the third and fourth place and the finals, no team does not pay attention to it, and there is only one year left in the 2026 World Cup. Everyone attaches great importance to the strong dialogue game. Overall, although the German team lacks Musiara and Rudiger, it has a certain impact, but it is normal for the national team to have some injuries. The strength of this German team is still a little weaker, especially after Klose retired, he did not take over the strong center, which is particularly fatal. He played against the German team last night, which was a big deal. The German team kept making crosses, but he couldn't grab the header.

France, Portugal and Spain have all shown certain strength. Although the teams have their own problems, there is still one year before the World Cup and there is still time to adjust. The biggest suspense in every World Cup is undoubtedly the ownership of the championship. Some fans will boast that the European Cup is of high value, but the European Cup championship has been repeatedly upset, and Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Greece and other teams have won the championship. However, only eight teams including Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Uruguay won the World Cup. Uruguay won the championship in a very distant era. At that time, they were super strong teams, while the other seven teams were traditional giants.

So the title is easy to choose, which is produced among eight teams including Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal. Let’s analyze these eight teams. The first one to eliminate the Italian team. After losing to Norway in the first round of the World Cup, the Italian team is likely to be the second in the group and will play in the playoffs. The Italian team failed the playoffs in the first two World Cups and missed the World Cup. This is still possible.

The second ones were excluded were Brazil and Germany. Although Brazil hired the ace coach Ancelotti, the team was too weak in the middle and backcourt, and the frontcourt was not reliable. Vinicius scored 6 goals in Brazil in 6 years. Can such a person be reliable? As mentioned earlier, the German team is still in the reconstruction period and is not strong enough.

The next thing to be eliminated is England and Portugal. The England team relies on the Premier League platform and the team is extremely valuable, but this team has only won the local 1966 World Cup championship, and the other best results are the semi-finals, and the European Cup has not yet won the championship. Once the competition arrives, the English team is not good, and it is already commonplace, so the previous England team was also called the European Chinese team. The problem with Portugal is that the team's style is relatively soft, so Portugal won the championship in the European Cup because the opponents they face are similar in style, but the team's styles are different in the World Cup and it is more difficult. Portugal is often eliminated by South American and African teams. From this point of view, the 2026 World Cup favorite is Argentina, France and Spain. Argentina and France reached the World Cup finals last time. The Spanish team's offense is really gorgeous. After Rodri returns, his level will be up to the next level.
