Reddit's candidates to win the 2026 World Cup

This platform, known for sharing news, opened the conversation 100 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup with a simple question Who are the five candidates to win the World Cup? And of course in first place is Argentina and what for many will be Lionel Messi 's 'Last Dance' in World Cups, arriving as champions gives them a plus over the rest of the participants.

The second in this survey is Brazil , however, several Reddit users point out that it is not necessarily because of the quality of their squad, but because of the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti and what he can generate in the dressing room to break the 24-year drought without being able to lift the World Cup .

Spain is certainly one of the teams that received the most positive responses on Reddit, in fact, for many it is above Argentina , thanks to what was shown especially in the European Championship and Nations League, Lamine Yamal , who is undoubtedly the great hope of their fans to be able to lift their second World Cup.

Many users also point out that England has a good chance of winning the World Cup. Harry Kane is in great form with Bayern Munich , not to mention that Cole Palmer is one of the great symbols of Thomas Tuchel's team and also the emergence of Anthony Gordon .

The last place in this kind of survey that was conducted on Reddit was for France , even though it has as its great emblem Kylian Mbappe . They are not the main candidate to win the 2026 World Cup , but what was most striking is that very few users pointed to Portugal and the last tournament of Cristiano Ronaldo , who has already won a European Championship, a Nations League and will want to retire with a World Cup.
