The kick-off times are decent as well and there's none in the middle of the night, so everyone will have an interest and have their favourites. I'm looking forward to it.
My heart goes for Argentina because of Messi and if anyone in world football deserves that accolade, it's him.
You can see him picking up that trophy and they have got a chance as they have picked up recently. My head says Brazil as some of the players they've got are incredible.
Even the players who missed out would get into most squads there so I'm going to put my neck on the line and say Brazil.

I'm not sure which young players will stand out but as you say it's a strange time because weeks after the January window opens so it's the biggest shop window there's likely going to ever be for several players.
It's happened in the past and the prices will be inflated. You look at Jude Bellingham from England and there's so much hype for him - can he live up to his billing?
Can he do it in the key moments in the quarters and semis? It'll be very interesting to see.

Who Do You Think Will Be The Standout Players?
I'll be interested to see who does well on the goalkeeping front. Obviously Neuer had this cancer thing and Alisson is obviously doing very well.I'm not sure which young players will stand out but as you say it's a strange time because weeks after the January window opens so it's the biggest shop window there's likely going to ever be for several players.
