The World Cup is approaching, and the final 32 have announced the squad one after another. As of November 12, Beijing time, the 9 giant national teams have all announced the final list, let's take stock.
France
Defending champions France, although Pogba and Ngolo Kante are absent due to injury, they are still strong, with Benzema, Kylian Mbappe and Griezmann leading the front, Real Madrid duo Joan Armeni and Camavinga in midfield, and Varane and Lowry leading the back.
Germany
2014 World Cup winners Germany, Timo Werner and Reus were sidelined by injury, but the return of Goetze is heartening, with 17-year-old Mukoko expected to surprise him, while Kai Havertz, Müller and Gnabry up front, Kimmich and Gundogan in midfield, and Rudiger in defence are all regular players at the big club.
Spain
2010 World Cup champions Spain, Pique retired, Ramos lost, but Busquets is still there, but there are more young players, such as Fati, Pedri, Garvey and others, but compared to winning the title in 12 years, the forward configuration is indeed much more shabby.
Brazil
Brazil, the 2002 World Cup champion, is worthy of being the number one in the world, although Firmino and others have lost, the thickness of the squad is still amazing, the goalkeeper has the double insurance of Alisson and Ederson, the defense has the big players of Paris, Chelsea, Real Madrid, the midfield has the main force of Manchester United, not to mention the forward, led by Neymar, Vinicius and Rafinha.
Portugal
Portugal, the champion of Euro 2016, is still Ronaldo, and in the back, veteran Pepe is still there, but the core is already Ruben Dias. The midfield had a double core of B and B fee, but Mudinho was defeated, Jota was injured and Felix and Leo had their chances.
England
England, runners-up of last year's European Championship, were also plagued by injuries, with Reece James and Ben Chilwell absent, but the team is still the most expensive overall. The selection of Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been controversial, Chelsea's Raheem Sterling has also been in poor form, and the Three Lions will have to see the performance of Kane and Foden.
Netherlands
Under the leadership of veteran coach Louis van Gaal, the Netherlands regrouped, with Sileseen, Hrafenbech, Danjuma, Botman and others lost, Wijnaldum injured, but there was Depay up front, Gakpo was in good form this season, and the midfield was Frankie de Jong, and Van Dijk led the defense.
Belgium
Belgium is no longer FIFA number in the world, but it is still number one in Europe. Origi and Salemacols were lost, but this did not affect the overall strength of the European Red Devils. Ageing defence is a problem, Eden Hazard can't play at Real Madrid and Romelu Lukaku is injured, so the burden is on De Bruyne.
Argentina
Argentina is led by Messi, with Manchester United's Lisandro, Tottenham's Romero and veteran Otamendi at the back. Midfielder Lo Celso is out injured, while up front, the selection of Lautaro and Di Maria is no longer in suspense, Manchester City teenager Alvarez has a chance and Dybala has also caught up for the World Cup.
