#BinancePickAndWin This time, the tournament expands to 48 teams. The schedule is tight, and the North American climate might not favor the European powerhouses, leading to more upsets. In the group stages, I’m banking on Senegal to hold France to a draw, with Mané leading the counterattacks to exploit the slow-starting French defense. The European-based Japanese team could also pull off a draw against the Netherlands, disrupting their possession game with high-intensity pressing. The biggest dark horse in the knockout stages is Norway; with Haaland and Ødegaard as a double threat, they could take down traditional European giants. Algeria's solid defense might also allow them to secure a draw against Argentina. Many Asian and African teams are playing pragmatic, aggressive football, and if the big teams underestimate them or lack stamina, they could easily crash out. This tournament is likely to see multiple classic upsets where top teams fail to win.
