What country will be the next new World Cup champion?

[KC McElroy]

Most good countries (and one anti soccer one) have already won it. I think if anyone outside of the current batch of champions will win it, it will be Holland. I also give a chance to the US and Japan although that would be very much down the line, maybe not even in my lifetime, as their learning curve isn't too steep but they have the proper infrastructure and planning.
Who do you guys think is the next country to win the World Cup for the 1st time?

Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo is having his best season ever, he can screw over any team on his own.

I agree, the next world cup virgin to win it all will be the Netherlands. Not this time though.

there is no telling. you have to see each world cup which teams has the best option. i can tell you none of these teams will win it this time and next world cup is a totally different story.

I also agree that no new team will win it this time. Brazil seems to have it already wrapped up.

The next new winner is definitely The Netherlands. It has the best grass roots football culture out of all the remaining countries which have never won the WC. It has been to the finals 3 times and I have no doubt in the next 2-3 world cups, Netherlands will get over the hump. It has the culture, the facilities, the coaches and the players.

As for this WC, I think Germany will break the South American curse and win it all.

P.S. Holland is the incorrect name for the country. Holland is one part of the country which is called the Netherlands. Iranians are so used to calling it Holland your mistake is understandable. I don't even know if there a term in farsi for Netherlands.

I think Ghana!

they have the best youth world cup perfromances and its just a matter of time they conquer the senior world cup.

Holland has a decent team this year. If they top their group, they could win it.

The Netherlands doesn't have any talented young players right now, actually most of this group is pretty young and all of them are pretty much mediocre on world level. There aren't any world class 18 to 23 years old Dutch players at the moment, so I don't give them a high chance of winning a World Cup anytime soon. I think even 2022 would be to soon for them, maybe 2026.. Who knows.

i dont know....they'll be facing brazil or italy in quarters

[Camran khan]

Weird options.. Basically all top teams go under the category 'other'.

[soniq]

What I don't like to see is an all south american final.

Imagine a Germany vs. Netherlands final (unlikely) , is that even possible or will they meet before the final?

Iran

It's countries that haven't yet won the World Cup, bro! Hence why most 'top' teams aren't on there because it isn't applicable to them, they've already won it.
