If I had to pick one team most likely to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup right now, it would be Spain.

Why Spain is the slight favorite:

  • Most major bookmakers and prediction models have Spain at or near the top of the odds board. (FOX Sports)

  • They combine elite young talent (including Lamine Yamal) with experienced players and recently won major international trophies. (The Guardian)

  • Several recent forecasts place Spain just ahead of France in championship probability. (FOX Sports)

My current top contenders:

  1. Spain

  2. France

  3. Brazil

  4. England

  5. Argentina

France remains extremely dangerous because of players like Kylian Mbappé and one of the deepest squads in the tournament. Brazil has tremendous attacking talent and is viewed as the strongest non-European contender by many analysts. Argentina, the defending champions, are still among the favorites but are generally rated slightly behind Spain and France entering the tournament. (SI)

Estimated chances (my synthesis of current forecasts):

  • Spain: ~18–22%

  • France: ~16–20%

  • Brazil: ~10–15%

  • England: ~10–14%

  • Argentina: ~8–12%

So the short answer is: Spain is the most likely winner, but France is very close behind. (SI)

It occurred to me that it's likely not many gay men watch soccer matches. 

 

I was out grabbing supper when I got caught in the World Cup crowd at a nearby mamak. Went for a shawarma and ended up staying for the second-half of the match just people-watching and noting the crowd's excitement.

 

I think there's a lot you can learn about a person from the way they cheer or despair when their favorite team is involved, and how some process victory and losses. You can also learn some quick soccer facts while watching with the crowd, and get to know people. Some men are very adorable when they cheer, and you realize it takes very little for these mostly heterosexual men to be happy. 

 

It's also flattering I had a few Middle Eastern men check me out too. Even for a non-scene person, the Egypt vs. Argentina match was easily entertaining.

 

I think I might tune in for some of the matches leading up to the finals.

Good question, there's hot guys running around. 

 

Sometimes they remove their shirts.

God. Watching Argentina get away with every near-loss is painful to watch. 

 

Lady luck truly favors that steam, and the players are so fucking cocky when they score goals. Watching the internet collectively shit on Tuchel is funny.

 

Here's hoping Spain denies Argentina the win.

Definitely Spain

 

Manifesting a Spain victory after watching them dirty moves ARG pulled on Egypt and England. It's easy to see why so many people think the referee process was rigged. And the fact that people want ARG to win just so Messi can retire with a legacy in mind is seriously distorted.
