From Uruguay at the first World Cup in 1930 to Brazil in 2006 and Spain in 2010, HITC Sevens takes a look at how the pre-tournament favourites to win the FIFA World Cup performed at all 21 tournaments, and what that might tell us about Brazil's prospects in Qatar in 2022.

2014 - I had Spain or Germany to win
2018 - I had Brazil winning
2022 - I had Brazil winning
Shows how much i know
This is why they are so arrogant 🙄
Brazil was not the favourites in 2018. In east asian countries, i clearly remember everyone thought Belgium would win
Brazil were no way the favourites in 2014? I thought it was so clear Germany were far and away the favourites for 2014. Same for France in 2018. Are you seriously saying Brazil were the favourites both then? The squad depth of both nations were so clear ahead of any other nation
argentina were favourites in 1990 and 2002
England always mentioned among the favourites but never actually win. Should know better as none have been held in England since 1966. 😝
i think argentina were clear favorites this time and they won it too
it was messi's last wc so it was presumed messi will show his best performance this time
they won the copa america in 2021 defeating brazil in brazil
they had a 35 match unbeaten run before coming here
surely the match against saudi was an upset but eventually they were clear favorites
In 1930 Uruguay cheated against Yugoslavia
Germany always wins when they’re playing the favourite in the final: Hungary 54, Netherlands 74, Argentina 90 and 2014.
Brazil as major underachievers definitely made me laugh. I know it was tongue in cheek but still!!!
Argentina just won the final
Basically, assume Brazil are going to do really well as a default.
As compared to Scotland, who would kill to qualify for a paperbag nowadays with probably the best team since the 1970s. Opting out in 1950 because of wounded pride is just farce, especially given we have never made it past the Group stage at any tournament we have actually attended, haven't made a World Cup since 1998, and our best shot at the Knockout Rounds, the 1978 Cup, was a disaster we should have made it through in (if it was going to happen, it would have been 1978). Don't come home too soon indeed. I frankly don't think we will ever qualify again...
20 years after Argentina & France were favorites and bottled they face off in the final 😮
2026 favorites will be England 😤🏴
Here's an idea for one of your videos... Watching Morocco playing the semifinals... You should do a video indicating the Cinderella team... What was the expected finish and their final results with their performance for each world cup.. another example besides Morocco is Ghana at the world cup 2010 who made it to the quarter finals... Or maybe the top 7 of Cinderella teams at the world cup...
Here after argentina reached the finals
Lmao Brazil got dragged into the deep end and drowned by Croatia in the most humiliating way possible akin to the Germany defeat.
Great idea for a video. Wonder why other people did not do it before.
Brazil is a favorite almost every World Cup? Why?
