Winner: Brazil – They’re a juggernaut of a team. Probably the most complete squad with heaps of quality at every position, I think this will be the one for them to win it.

Golden Boot: Harry Kane – I know this looks bad on Pain in the Arsenal but in the interest of being fair and balanced I’ve got to go with Kane. He’s the scoring focal point of the England team who’ll make a run in this World Cup, he’ll score goals.

Dark Horse: Canada – They’ve got a very underrated team and they’re in a tough group but I think they can make it out and if they do, they can make a run and make some noise.

Shock Early Exit: Spain – That group is a tough one with both Germany and Japan there with them, I could see this Spain team failing to exit the group.

Best Performing Arsenal Player: Bukayo Saka – He’s made his mark on the England team and will be playing a lot and as we’ve seen every time he plays for them, England is a better team.
