Which team has the best chance of winning the FIFA World Cup 2018?

#2 France

France was arguably the deserved winner of Euro 2016, and this was coupled with exciting and engaging football. A team of youngsters, pace and superstars, France will be expected to go all the way in Russia mainly because of its incredible squad depth in every single area of the pitch.

The depth in the France squad is unbelievable

The rise of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele in the last season has provided the team with exciting prospects, and very efficient attacking outlets. As seen in the above image, the attack is filled with talent, and as they have shown, they gel very well together. Griezmann is a superstar striker who has delivered at the big stage in Euro 2016 for France. The second runner-up in the Ballon Dór this year, he is an effective striker when supported well. Even if he isn't available, France can turn to quality options upfront.

There is absolutely no dearth in the midfield as well. One of the main reasons they did well in Euro 2016 was their midfield brilliance. With Kante, they can be assured of a man who gives his 100% on the field for the full 90 minutes. Pogba has burst into life for Manchester United this season, although sadly getting injured just when he was doing so well. Adrien Rabiot has started regularly for PSG since Matuidi's departure, as well as Corentin Tolisso for Bayern Munich.

The depth in defence is immense as well. Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti could be the center-back pairing that Didier Deschamps might be looking to, as seen in the selection and their solid performances in the last few qualifiers. Djibril Sidibe seems to have nailed his place in the side, while Kurzawa and Mendy will fight it out for the left back position. Hugo Lloris is the undisputed No.1 in goal.

France looks like a solid team, definitely one of the strong favorites to win the title in Russia.
