Portugal
Portugal's strength now extends far beyond their iconic captain. Bruno Fernandes has become a genuine team leader; Leão, Diogo Jota, and Pedro Neto provide devastating attacking width and depth. Ronaldo — playing in what is certainly his final World Cup — brings experience, goalscoring instinct, and an intensity of motivation that drives the team.
