#广场预测世界杯赢40000U The World Cup 32 teams have been decided. A Ghanaian witch doctor says he will cast a spell to seal Messi. I predict Argentina will defend the title.
The World Cup 32 teams are set. I looked at the match schedule, the upper and lower halves are really intense lalalala😄
As a hardcore fake fan of Argentina, I bet on Messi leading the Pampas Eagles to defend the title! Too bad that Cape Verde, after breaking through the pack, will first face Argentina. Goalkeeper Vozinha has publicly expressed his admiration for Messi. This time, facing Messi's elusive footwork, can he hold on? It's said that a Ghanaian witch doctor has announced he will cast a spell specifically targeting Messi, and is favoring Cape Verde to beat Argentina. I mean, these days, even witch doctors have to ride the traffic economy, huh..
Based purely on personal preference and performance in this edition, let me predict the top four.
Left side: Argentina, Norway
Right side: France, Spain
If this is the combination, the probability of Argentina vs France in the final is high, although I'd really like to see the adorable height difference between Messi and Haaland standing together. It feels like there's a bit of bromance there - both are earthly cuties! It is said that the betting agencies originally had France ranked first, but after the group stage, Argentina rose to first. In the final group stage match that ended today (Argentina 3:1 Jordan), Messi set another record, becoming the first player in World Cup history to score in 7 consecutive matches (across tournaments), while also continuing to extend his own records for all-time World Cup goals and appearances. Of course, there are quite a few surprises this year. Look at Uruguay and South Korea being scorned by their own people - the charter flight was canceled, and South Koreans went to the airport to throw eggs (which really wasn't necessary). Lee Jae-myung came out to babble "sumnida" and you know the rest. Anything can happen in competitive sports; surprises are the beauty, just like life is always full of regrets.
As the largest-scale World Cup with the newest format in history, this edition has crazily broken multiple firsts and records.
First time with 48 teams: Bidding farewell to the long-standing 32-team era, this World Cup has expanded to 48 teams for the first time, making it the largest in history.
First time jointly hosted by three countries: For the first time in history, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada together.
First time with a "Round of 32" knockout stage: Previously, group stage qualifiers went directly to the Round of 16. This edition, due to expansion, has added a "Round of 32" for the first time, maximizing the intensity of the knockout stage.
Longest schedule and most matches in history: The entire tournament lasts 39 days, with a total of 104 matches (72 of which are group stage matches), both setting historical records.
First "Halftime Show" in the final: FIFA has announced for the first time in history that the final will feature a world-class halftime performance comparable to the Super Bowl.
Four debutants make historic first appearances: Uzbekistan, Jordan, Cape Verde, and Curaçao have each entered the World Cup finals for the first time in history.
Cape Verde's miracle "three draws" to advance: The mysterious African team Cape Verde, in its first participation, advanced to the Round of 32 with three draws (3 points) in the group stage, becoming one of the biggest dark horses of this edition.
Canada's men's World Cup "debut and first knockout stage entry": This is the first time Canada has hosted the men's World Cup and also their first time playing at home.
Mexico sets record as "three-time host": Mexico becomes the first country in the world to host the World Cup three times (1970, 1986, 2026), and its Estadio Azteca in Mexico City also hosts the World Cup opening match for a record third time.
Gilberto Mora: The youngest player in this edition
Mexico's young midfielder Gilberto Mora (a talented youngster born in October 2008) became the youngest player to appear in this World Cup.
When you think about it, a kid born in 2008, just came of age! Canada is actually entering the finals for the first time! And I discovered a shocking secret - Italy has failed to qualify for the finals for three consecutive World Cups! No wonder the World Cup's attractiveness has declined.
The World Cup final 32 are settled. Looking at the bracket, the two halves are really intense! 😄
As a die-hard fake fan of Argentina, I'm betting on Messi leading the Pampas Eagles to defend the title! Unfortunately, Cape Verde, who broke through from the group, will first face Argentina. Goalkeeper Vozinha once publicly expressed his admiration for Messi. Facing Messi's elusive footwork this time, can he still hold on? It is said that a Ghanaian witch doctor has spoken out to cast spells against Messi, predicting Cape Verde will defeat Argentina. I mean, these days, even witch doctors have to ride the trend for attention..
Based purely on personal preference and this tournament's performance, here's my prediction for the top four:
Left side: Argentina, Norway
Right side: France, Spain
If this is the combination, the probability of Argentina vs France in the final is high. Although I really want to see the cute height difference between Messi and Haaland standing together – there's even a bit of chemistry there, both are adorable! It is said that the oddsmakers originally had France ranked first, but after the group stage, Argentina rose to first. In the last group match (Argentina 3-1 Jordan) that ended today, Messi once again set a record, becoming the first player in World Cup history to score in seven consecutive matches (across editions), while also extending his own all-time World Cup goal and appearance records. Of course, there have been many surprises this year.

And I discovered a shocking secret: to my great dismay, Italy hasn't made it to the finals for three consecutive editions! No wonder the World Cup's looks have dropped.
