1. Brazil
Brazil came into the competition as top picks, and they've surely shown the steadiness and ability to warrant that up until this point. Neymar getting harmed in the main match harms Brazil, however late heroics from Casemiro saw them secure best position in the gathering without their No. 10. Regardless of whether he returns for the knockout stage, Brazil are at this point not absolutely subject to him. They have an overflow of ability at virtually every position, and are so far meriting the pre-competition publicity. - Colin Damms
2. France
The reigning champs evaded the pattern they began of the champions neglecting to move beyond the gathering. It wasn't generally beautiful against Australia and Denmark, however at that point again it wasn't generally really in 2018 when they won it. What makes a difference is they have Kylian Mbappe in extraordinary structure. He was enduring an onslaught from the commonly cruel French media after a less than impressive display at the Euros, however he is back with expert for this competition. They actually have a few inquiries in supplanting their dependable midfield of Paul Pogba and N'golo Kante, however they have no inquiries concerning their capacity to cut groups separated in assault. - Colin Damms
3. Spain
Spain got off to a thundering beginning, a 7-0 triumph over Costa Rica that served as an assertion to the remainder of the world La Furia Roja were back furiously. Be that as it may, they chilled essentially in the later matchups, playing to a draw against Germany and losing on a disputable objective to Japan. The youthful stars in Pedri and Gavi have been similarly hair-raising, bringing a shock of energy and speed to the Spain midfield, and Alvaro Morata is in electrifying structure, winding up right at the highest point of the objective sheet with three objectives. On the off chance that Spain can avoid their own particular manner, they have sufficient capability to win the entire thing. - J.P. Acosta
4. Argentina
The tension of Lionel Messi's last genuine shot at World Cup greatness weighed vigorously on Argentina's shoulders in their shock opening match misfortune to Saudi Arabia. From that point forward, they've gotten back to the structure that had many picking them as pre-competition top choices. With a powerful supporting cast encompassing Messi lastly a steady guarded base to remain on, there's genuine expectation for Argentina to catch magnificence in Qatar. - Ransack Usry
5. Britain
For all the discussion of how moderate the Three Lions are under Gareth Southgate, their nine objectives scored during the gathering stage were tied for the most with Spain. They likewise had the best objective contrast of the gathering stage (+7) while being tied for the most places (7). Regardless, Britain might have somewhat of an insight issue in view of their nation's assumptions. In any case, depend on it, this is among the most gifted bunches in the competition a genuine danger to win everything. - Jeremiah Oshan
6. Croatia
For a group that made it the entire way to the last of the last competition, nobody is by all accounts discussing Croatia. Of course, their stars are going downhill and this is most likely a last hurrah for the overwhelming majority of them, however they were one of just five groups to get away from the gathering stage undefeated and their one objective permitted was tied for the least. Their assertion win came against Canada, a 4-1 pounding that followed John Herdman telling television crowds his group was going to "F Croatia" which will stand out forever as quite possibly of the most misguided thing a soccer mentor has at any point told an overall crowd. - Jeremiah Oshan
7. Netherlands
It's hard to know what to think about Netherlands after they completed on what most appear to concur was the most vulnerable gathering. They opened with a strong 2-0 success over Senegal, shut with a fairly ho-murmur 2-0 win over Qatar and agreed to a 1-1 draw with in the middle between. They have great players, yet likely aren't a danger to go excessively far. - Jeremiah Oshan
8. Portugal
Like Argentina, many eyes are on Portugal since this is the last World Cup hurrah of a hotshot. In contrast to Argentina, Portugal's whiz, Cristiano Ronaldo, is well and really washed. Fortunate for them they are not dependent on his capacities any longer, and they endured capability in spite of his deviant No. 9 play. Bruno Fernandes was especially great for them in their two successes, and their propensity for spilling objectives hasn't kept them down yet on account of the exhibitions of their more youthful advances, eminently Joao Felix and Rafael Leao. It hasn't been a thoroughly persuading start, however it was sufficient to put them top of a troublesome gathering. - Colin Damms
9. Japan
Japan had perhaps the most wild gathering stage in late memory. They figured out how to knock off two world powers in Germany and Spain while some way or another losing to Costa Rica in those shocking outcomes. It appears to be difficult to understand what you will get consistently from this group. However, one thing is clear: They can overtake any group whenever and that makes them a rival to fear in the knockout stage. - Ransack Usry
10. US
The youthful and energizing Americans satisfied the expectations in the gathering stage. How far their storybook run goes relies upon the wellbeing of their crew and their capacity to track down the rear of the net. They've demonstrated to have a versatile and strong protection however might they at any point gather the going after capability to knock off the world's tip top nations? - Loot Usry
11. Senegal
The World Cup didn't get off to the best beginning for the Lions of Teranga, as Sadio Man was governed out of the competition with a physical issue, and midfielder Cheikhou Kouyat experienced a physical issue in their misfortune to Netherlands to open the competition. Yet, because of hard-battled triumphs over Qatar and Ecuador, they are through to the Round of 16. Senegal will likewise be without midfielder Idrissa Gueye, who got a couple of yellow cards in bunch play, However their capacity to counter, as displayed in the success over Ecuador, could be basic against Britain. - Imprint Schofield
12. Morocco
On the backs of a couple of wins in bunch play including a 2-0 shocker over Belgium Morocco progressed to the round of 16 as the champs of Gathering F. Their prize for progressing to the knockout adjust for only the subsequent time? A matchup with Spain. Yet, the proficiency Morocco displayed on set pieces, especially against Belgium, combined with what they had the option to do on the counter against Canada, could be perilous in the knockout round, and maybe past. - Imprint Schofield
13. South Korea
For simply the third time in their set of experiences, South Korea are going to the Round of 16 following an exceptionally sensational 2-1 win over Portugal in the Gathering H finale in which Hwang Hee-chan scored in last part stoppage time. Tragically, they face Brazil in the Round of 16, the group we believe is probably going to win the entire thing. - Jeremiah Oshan
14. Poland
A group with Robert Lewandowski can't be totally disregarded, yet Poland is honestly somewhat fortunate to be here in the wake of turning out to be only the second group in World Cup history to progress through the "fair play" sudden death round because of committing less yellow-card offenses than Mexico. The main game Poland dominated or scored in was against Saudi Arabia and they were defeated in that one as well, getting outshot 16-9 and losing the normal objectives fight 1.73-1.56. - Jeremiah Oshan
15. Switzerland
Switzerland are through to the knockout round, because of a success in their last match of gathering play. Yet, how well will their back line hold facing Portugal in the round of 16? During qualifying, Switzerland gave up only a couple of objectives in their eight capability matches, in course to winning their gathering. Also, subsequent to yielding only once in their initial two matches, to possible gathering champion Brazil, Switzerland permitted two objectives to Serbia on Friday. Is that a harbinger of what might be on the horizon, or simply the consequence of confronting a Serbian crew that required a success to get to the round of 16? The reality of the situation will surface at some point. - Imprint Schofield
16. Australia
In the wake of following a tempestuous way to capability for the World Cup itself, it just seems OK that their way to the knockout round was fierce too. After a victory misfortune to France in the initial match, it seemed as though the Socceroos would be going home early. Yet, prevails upon Tunisia and Denmark owned Australia to the Round of 16, with just objective differential isolating them from France on the gathering. Will that enchanted go on against Lionel Messi and Argentina in the knockout round?
