I know I'm a bit late, but I was sick and playing FIFA today, so that's what I was thinking about.

Russia 2018: Germany

Given how young Germany's roster is, almost all of their starters will be returning for 2018 and more experienced than they were before, not only that, but Russia's climate favors the style in which the Germans play. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there is NO WAY Germany does NOT win this cup.

Qatar 2022: Italy

Italy's strategy: Defend, defend, defend, attack when necessary. With how hot it's going to be in Qatar, Italy's strategy will be perfect, and, although it didn't work in South Africa, Brazil, nor will it work in Russia, it will work perfectly in Qatar, and no-one plays this style better than the Italians.

Netherlands and France still have fairly young squads that can excel in Russia in 3 years and 9 months. To be honest here, Germany may make it to the Semifinals, and may make it to the Final, but they won't be hoisting the trophy. I'm also going to forecast that Asia comes back into the picture for the next 2 WCs, with 3/4 Asian teams making the Round of 16. Africa will also do well, and I think the USA will be a Quarter-finalist. I anticipate an all-European Final 4 in Russia, and in Qatar I anticipate a Final 4 with 2 European sides, 1 South American side, and one either Asian or African side, much like the World Cup in South Korea/Japan in '02.

Klose didn't start most of this WC, Germany can do without him.

I think in 2022, any of the four Asian sides that participated in this World Cup besides Japan have a good shot at getting to the Semis tbh. South Korea got to the Semifinals when they hosted an Asian World Cup.

They're the strongest Asian nation:

1) In single-player talent (as displayed by their awful World Cup showing in Brazil)
2) For the moment. Australia, Iran, and South Korea all have talented youngsters and great outlooks for the future.

Klose only got starts so he could get the record.

I do think that England will be more than a chance if they get a more attack minded coach. If they do, and properly develop the great young players coming through like Will Hughes, Patrick Roberts and Izzy Brown, they can easily win 2018 or 2022. 2022 would be a better WC for England. They actually have some of the worlds best young talent in a lot of different academies.

I also see Mexico improving simply because they always crap out great young footballers. Brazil will get better as well if they stop bringing back useless players like Fred.

My two darkhorses are without a doubt Ghana and Nigeria for 2018. The young players coming through look awesome and they can do some serious damage. Same with Belgium, Spain, Scotland and maybe, just maybe, Japan.

Germany need more strikers and fullbacks if they want to win in Russia or Qatar.

Denmark will be a strong team with the likes of Andersen, Okore, Fischer and Pierre EMille. Portugal may be a team to watch in the years to come, they nearly won this years U19 until they lost 1 nil to germany in the finals.

"Klose only got starts so he could get the record."
Exactly. Anyone with at least half a brain that's soccer-minded in any sort would know this.

"I do think that England will be more than a chance if they get a more attack minded coach. If they do, and properly develop the great young players coming through like Will Hughes, Patrick Roberts and Izzy Brown, they can easily win 2018 or 2022. 2022 would be a better WC for England. They actually have some of the worlds best young talent in a lot of different academies."
Do you really think England has a shot at 2018? Let's be honest here lol. They haven't had a good WC showing (for England standards) since 2002. And have been gradually getting worse.

"I also see Mexico improving simply because they always crap out great young footballers. Brazil will get better as well if they stop bringing back useless players like Fred."
I think I can agree with this, and honestly I think Brazil can get back into contention even as early as 2018.

"My two darkhorses are without a doubt Ghana and Nigeria for 2018. The young players coming through look awesome and they can do some serious damage. Same with Belgium, Spain, Scotland and maybe, just maybe, Japan."
I'm going to tell you a big fat "no" with Nigeria and Japan. Ghana, Belgium, Spain, and Scotland if they can qualify would actually be legitimate choices at being quality darkhorses. Especially Ghana and Belgium for the quota required to fill.

"Germany need more strikers and fullbacks if they want to win in Russia or Qatar."
Agreed

For each confederation, here's teams I'd keep an eye out for:

UEFA:
Scotland, Denmark, Norway, Montenegro
(Tell me if I missed one or two)

CONMEBOL:
Venezuela and Peru

CONCACAF:
(Everyone is literally where they should be. USA, Mexico, and Costa Rica will get better.)

AFC:
Uzbekistan is a possibility but their quality players are getting older such as Ismailov, Shatskikh, Bakayev, and especially Ismailov. I think Qatar and UAE are almost there.

OFC:
(LOL IRRELEVANT. NO OFC TEAM WILL EVER MAKE THE WORLD CUP IN THE NEXT 8 YEARS LOLZ)

CAF:
I think everyone is where they should be. South Africa, Tunisia, and Morocco have always been on-and-off the radar. Ghana is probably going to be the biggest power, and Nigeria has the potential but I don't see them there yet.

"Do you really think England has a shot at 2018? Let's be honest here lol. They haven't had a good WC showing (for England standards) since 2002. And have been gradually getting worse."

GK: Butland/Woodman/Darlow
RB: Chambers/Galloway
CB: Dier/Blackett
CB: Stones/Lascalles
LB: Shaw/Taggart
CM: Chalobah/Baker/Saville
CM: W. Hughes/Loftus Cheek
RW: Brown/L. Cole
LW: Sterling/Ibe/Aarons/Armstrong
CAM: Barkley/Roberts
ST: Wilson/Ings/Wickham

Tell me that team wouldn't dominate if they all developed to the level they are capable of getting to.


"I'm going to tell you a big fat "no" with Nigeria and Japan. Ghana, Belgium, Spain, and Scotland if they can qualify would actually be legitimate choices at being quality darkhorses. Especially Ghana and Belgium for the quota required to fill."

Why no to Nigeria? Have you seen the players coming through? Most are playing in England's top academies or being scouted by Udinese. And most good Japanese youngsters are all getting chances in the Bundesliga. Both have more than enough talent.

"UEFA:

Wales if they can get more Bale's and Ramsey's through the academies.

"CONMEBOL:
Venezuela and Peru"

LOL@PERU. Columbia and Chile will both be teams to watch though.

"CONCACAF:
(Everyone is literally where they should be. USA, Mexico, and Costa Rica will get better.)"

Canada look like they have some good players coming through. Jamaica might as well if some of the ones playing in the UK decide to play for them.

"AFC:
Uzbekistan is a possibility but their quality players are getting older such as Ismailov, Shatskikh, Bakayev, and especially Ismailov. I think Qatar and UAE are almost there."

thank god i saw your comment after this or else i would've murdered you for not mentioning djeparov. that guy is what makes uzbekistan. But I do think Qatar and China can both get somewhere.

"OFC:
(LOL IRRELEVANT. NO OFC TEAM WILL EVER MAKE THE WORLD CUP IN THE NEXT 8 YEARS LOLZ)"

If you noticed the A-League, you'd see a lot of promising Kiwis coming through in Wellington. A lot of their younger players are improving and soon they will be at AFC levels.

"CAF:
I think everyone is where they should be. South Africa, Tunisia, and Morocco have always been on-and-off the radar. Ghana is probably going to be the biggest power, and Nigeria has the potential but I don't see them there yet."

If El Haddidi plays for Morocco, then they'll own CAF. Tunisia is overrated, and so are South Africa. Cameroon have a lot of good quality players coming through (see; La Masia). Ghana and Nigeria will be the powers of CAF for awhile though. Ivory Coast don't have enough talented players coming through.

You cannot just think a country that won this year can win again.
Germany might have already have bad players.
Italy probably did not qualify for Qatar.

"Tell me that team wouldn't dominate if they all developed to the level they are capable of getting to."
Isn't that what everyone said about this English World Cup squad? Didn't more people also have more hope in Roy Hodgson prior to the World Cup than Fabio Capello from last World Cup? Honestly, that's not near a golden-aged squad like the one England fielded in '02. It's a squad that can reach the Round of 16 with the right technicality, but don't tell me that squad is going to win the World Cup. That's pretty big BS right there.

"Why no to Nigeria? Have you seen the players coming through? Most are playing in England's top academies or being scouted by Udinese. And most good Japanese youngsters are all getting chances in the Bundesliga. Both have more than enough talent."
I mean, I admit Nigeria may be prepared for the future really well (they won the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup), but let's consider that they may be facing problems back home politically or something that will block their chances at a decent World Cup run. Ghana doesn't have much of those problems Nigeria does. As for Japan, like I said earlier, they're all pure individual talent and can't work as a team together. I promise you, Japan is not an Asian team to watch out for in the future. If you say Nigeria, I'll accept that but I personally don't wish to believe it.

"Wales if they can get more Bale's and Ramsey's through the academies."
I was actually thinking Wales shortly after I wrote this.

"LOL@PERU. Columbia and Chile will both be teams to watch though."
Peru is a team that can never be taken away from anything anywhere. It's a squad that's been performing somewhat decently with a fairly young squad (see 3rd place at the 2011 Copa America, including a 2-0 win over Colombia - with Falcao - and a 4-1 win over Venezuela in the knockout stage). If you had any South American knowledge you should know this. It wouldn't surprise me to see Uruguay and Ecuador getting knocked off the map by 2022 (they went to qualification playoff!) and Venezuela and Peru going to Qatar.

"Canada look like they have some good players coming through. Jamaica might as well if some of the ones playing in the UK decide to play for them."
Canada is having rejects recently (see Tesho Akindele) and their youth does not look promising to be honest. Jamaica actually could replace Honduras though, I see you. I see you.

"thank god i saw your comment after this or else i would've murdered you for not mentioning djeparov. that guy is what makes uzbekistan. But I do think Qatar and China can both get somewhere."
Don't even mention China lol...

"If you noticed the A-League, you'd see a lot of promising Kiwis coming through in Wellington. A lot of their younger players are improving and soon they will be at AFC levels."
Oh I'm sorry, the league that's ranked 99th in the world according to the IFFHS? Yeah alright, and btw, New Zealand only qualified for the 2010 FIFA WC because Bahrain sucks ass.

"If El Haddidi plays for Morocco, then they'll own CAF. Tunisia is overrated, and so are South Africa. Cameroon have a lot of good quality players coming through (see; La Masia). Ghana and Nigeria will be the powers of CAF for awhile though. Ivory Coast don't have enough talented players coming through."
Africa always tends to look the shadiest for the future.
