It’s always nice to write new stories and see history made, so Messi finally winning the WC was great but I want more, the fans want excitement and upsets so when will we get that?
The last new nation to win either was Portugal in Euro 2016 I think, and its definitely the tournament that lends itself to more potential for a brand new winner. But what about the world cup, when will we see a new country win it? is it one of those impossible to tell things as it just happens when it happens?
Portugal has never won the WC and the football culture and talent are as alive as ever.
Croatia keeps making deep runs even with only OK squads on paper.
Morocco has a great core and play as a team.
I could see an underdog winning the WC just as easily as the Euro.
My bad…I had the impression Portugal won World Cup, that’s why I didn’t include them in the New Potential Winners.
