An Argentine anti-climax? A Belgian bungling? Who will disappoint? | World Cup Preview #3
-

By:
On the third edition of our World Cup previews, we talk teams that could be headed for disappointment at this year's tournament.
Can Argentina keep up with the demands of yet another deep run? Is Belgium's golden generation finally out of gas? Is Mexico good enough to carry the national burden of "el quinto partido?" Has Saudi Arabi lost their luster as a Middle Eastern footballing power?
We select a nation from each from 9 tiers of World Cup contention that we developed and explain why we think they could be in for an underwhelming – or downright embarrassing – showing in North America 2026.
4 more previews to go!
Cheers!
