What are your 2026 World Cup predictions?

[msg321]

I am very happy now because My country, Turkey, qualified for the World Cup after today's victory against Kosovo. We could have qualified directly, but since we were in the same group with Spain, we finished second and had to play in the playoffs. I think Spain will be the biggest favorite at world cup. Objectively, I can't say Turkey is one of the favorites, but we can definitely be considered a surprise team. If I do a brief analysis, our team captain, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, has played for top teams throughout his career. Currently, he is Inter's on-field leader. With his experience and leadership, he will make a great contribution in the World Cup. Arda Güler is another name we trust. He has been the brain of Real Madrid's midfield since Modric left. And of course, there's Kenan Yıldız. He's Juventus' number 10. His technical ability and dribblings are deadly. I also really like his character. He's a very humble guy. Our only weak point is the striker position. Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who plays there, is actually a left winger. We have a striker named Deniz Gül, but he's too young to be preferred. After Burak Yılmaz's retirement, we couldn't find a player to fill his place in that position.

Ty for inviting me to share and congratz on your country going to the World Cup! 🎉

(I don't really know anything about it. 😳)

[msg321]

Girl, I am always happy to see your opinions on my questions but I didn't invite you to share. I never invite anyone to answer my questions because the site doesn't let me invite users who don't follow me and my followers already get notifications whenever I ask a question so inviting them is pointless. They can answer if they want after they see my questions. I don't want to send them double notifications for same question by inviting. It sounds like forcing them to answer and I don't like it. You follow me that's why you get notifications when I ask a question. I also follow you too and I answer yours too and like I wrote before your opinions are always welcomed. Just wanted to honest don't get me wrong 😉 as an American it is normal you don't know anything about it because football (or soccer as you call it) is not very popular in USA but thank you very much for your congrats 😊

[RandomGirl42]

Oh 😊

[RandomGirl42]

And TY for the MHO whether I was invited or not. 😊

[msg321]

You are invited to all of my questions 😊

[rachel776]

well Los Angeles will collapse for one, we're nowhere near ready for this or the Olympics thanks to our stellar mayor

[msg321]

Yep people will come from all around the world for 2026 world cup and 2028 Olympics. That must be hard for locals but they also will spend money too much. That might be good for you.

[rachel776]

no, the city is not ready for it. LA is in shambles due to local government, plus we're not even close to being recovered from the fires. i still don't have a permit to rebuild because they want to build low income housing where my house was

[msg321]

Oh I forgot the fire yeah that was a big tragedy. Could be as a local you know the situation better for sure.

[msg321]

by the way Türkiye and USA in the same group (Group D) and I am sure we will beat you 🇹🇷😂

[dfdfdffffdfdf]

portugal may win this one

they have pretty solid players on every position , ronaldo isn't even needed much

[msg321]

I think Portugal can't win with Ronaldo. He is harmful for the team anymore.

[Xawyx-2]

I agree, Spain is definitely one of the main favorites.

[Xawyx-2]

Congratulations to Turkey on qualifying for the world championship.

[msg321]

You're welcome, bro 😊

[Xawyx-2]

Thanks for the MHO :D

[msg321]

You're welcome, dude.

[AI Opinion]

Turkey making it to 2026 is huge, enjoy that feeling 🇹🇷⚽

Spain will definitely be among the top favorites, along with nations like France, Brazil, Argentina and maybe England.

Turkey fits perfectly into that “dark horse” category. With Hakan’s leadership, Arda’s vision and Kenan’s flair, a good tactical plan can cover the striker weakness and make a quarterfinal run very realistic 💪

[msg321]

Thanks, Chloe 😊 yeah quarterfinal won't be a big surprise for me too but there is no limit to dream more 😊 💪🇹🇷

[FreyaRed]

Spain is my favorite.

I expect again Spain, England, Germany and France in finales.

[msg321]

Yep like I wrote on question detail. Spain is my favourite too. They have last European champion title too but as a Messi fan I support Argentina after my country.

[AviatorTom]

The US MENS TEAM will not win.

[msg321]

Yep, it is for sure 😂

[DryGermanGuy]

Germany shall rise again! 😤🇩🇪💪
