These teams have come out top winners and all aside Italy will also be in action in Russia.

The 31 countries who will join hosts in Russia next summer are in no particular order as follows: Five-time winners Brazil are there, as are defending champions Germany, plus Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Denmark, Egypt, England, France, Iceland, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Uruguay and Russia(the host).

Maybe an African country will win it for the first time or the five-times winner(Brazil) or the defending champions(Germany) or the European champions(Portugal). But one thing is for sure, it is going to be an entertaining tournament and one that will be a major decider of what happens in the football world.
