The defending champions are Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, after the side beat France on penalties in Qatar 2022 and they will seek to defend their crown this summer. 

Spain, France, England, and Argentina are said to be the big four heading into the competition with the likes of Brazil and Portugal just outside the favourites. 

Speaking to Jackpot City Casino, Keller opened up on the chances of winning the competition for each nation and how Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could be left disappointed. 

“Can Ronaldo win the World Cup this summer? I don't see Portugal winning the World Cup. I think they're good. I look at a few teams. We look at the squad France have, if they get it together then look out. Obviously Spain is very strong. I really like England's squad - they have to be one of the favourites.  

 “How difficult it is to repeat, I don't see Argentina being able to repeat their success. With no expectation, can Brazil show up when they haven't necessarily been any good. 

“I look at Spain, France and England personally. I just hope with this expectation, it doesn't become too much. We know the English fans get a little excited when they start to have a little success.” 

With just over 2 months to go before the tournament begins, fans will be excited to see who goes all the way and if either Messi or Ronaldo can find success in what will be their final World Cup together.
