#BinancePickAndWin This edition’s World Cup quarterfinal dust has settled: the football landscape is clearly divided. Six European teams dominate the mainstream, while Argentina and Morocco are the lone hopes from South America and Africa, respectively. France is well-balanced in both attack and defense; Mbappé is in scorching form and is the clear top favorite to win the title. Spain’s possession-based system is mature and its overall cohesion is exceptional. Defending champions Argentina have plenty of big-tournament experience, while England’s youthful squad has standout impact.
With the expansion, underdogs have emerged, but the gap between strengths and weaknesses is evident—teams from Asia, as well as North/Central America, all failed to advance past the Round of 16. In the upcoming quarterfinals, heavyweight teams will face off directly. Tactical styles will clash intensely, and the long schedule plus intercontinental travel and venue climates will be key variables in determining who advances.
