World Cup 2018: 5 teams who could win in Russia

#4 France

France were the runners-up in Euro 2016

Les Blues have undergone a resurgence in the last three years, with many players coming into the limelight that have shone for their respective clubs.

Even though the French lost the final of Euro 2016 to Portugal courtesy of a late-winner by Eder, they still have enough potential match-winners in their squad who could destroy the opposition on their day.

The major problem for French coach Didier Deschamps has been selecting the team that'll board the plane for Russia because there are too many good players to choose from. They will be raring to go out and win a second title for their countrymen.

The French cavalry will be led by Antoine Griezmann from the front alongside Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, and Nabil Fekir. The attacking midfield boasts of stars like Paul Pogba and Thomas Lemar, while Blaise Matuidi and N'Golo Kante function as the defensive midfielders. The defense has Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti who can give strikers nightmares.
