FIFA World Cup Traditions:
Before you jump into the World Cup frenzy, you need to familiarize yourself with the traditions and history of the tournament. Having begun in 1930, the FIFA World Cup is the most coveted trophy in soccer. Many countries want the Cup to reside in their domain for at least four years. However, only a few countries have tasted that exciting feeling.
The first country to do so was Uruguay in 1930. However, Brazil has the most trophies with five titles. However, the new age has seen a new addition, Spain, to the fold, and the list of World Cup winners is growing.
You should know that no Asian, North American, or African country has won the World Cup or gotten to the Final. The closest any country from these continents has got is a Bronze medal, following South Korea’s impressive run the last time the World Cup was hosted in Asia.
Teams to Expect at the World Cup
Out of 32, 29 teams have sealed their spot in the FIFA World Cup group stages. We expect to see some of the top teams. Except for the European champions, Italy, who shockingly crashed out of the UEFA World Cup qualification, all the expected countries would be represented in the World Cup come November 2022.

Some of the notable teams we are looking forward to including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal. We might not see these teams go head-to-head in the group stages, but it is more or less inevitable in the later stages.
Favorites to Win
We can’t say for sure what team would win the World Cup as plenty of them have a shot at the title. However, we know that it will most likely be one of the favorites paraded before the tournament starts properly. One of the top favorites in England, as they have a star-studded team with many talented legs waiting to be unleashed.
However, talents alone might not be enough because luck and tactics play a significant role in winning a tournament like the World Cup. In that case, we think the battle will most likely be between Brazil, France, Belgium, and Argentina.

Venues and Conditions
One of the areas to consider for the World Cup would be the venues and their conditions. You need to know how they can affect the teams’ play. One of the significant reasons FIFA pushed the competition to November was because of the heat in Qatar between May/and June.
Even though the country promised to have fully air-conditioned stadiums, the weather conditions outside the stadium can affect the teams’ balance. In that case, you need to check how it would get in November/December so that if you are planning to travel down or bet, you know what you are up against.
Final Thoughts
The FIFA World Cup will be one of the most significant events this year. So, you might as well ready yourself to enjoy all the moments. From the start, we would enjoy impressive experiences, and as the competition gets closer to the end, the emotions would be high, and we will see if our picks have a chance to win the tournament.
