An analysis on which nation has the best chance to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featured on Thairath Sports' "Clear Rim Sen" program, hosted by "Jay" Worapat Arunpakdi.
On 12 Jun 2026 GMT+7, an analysis aired on Thairath Sports' "Clear Rim Sen" program, discussing which nation is most likely to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The show was hosted by "Jay" Worapat Arunpakdi and featured two well-known experts: "Bor.Boo" Booranit Rattanawichian and "Meng Summerhill" Chumpot Songsaisakul, who joined the discussion.
Bor.Boo Booranit Rattanawichian stated, "I see France and Spain as the top two contenders. If you compare their players individually, France has the edge. However, Spain showed great team structure at the last Euro. They didn’t even have a strong striker but had quality wingers on both sides. Their midfield is especially strong—no one can take the ball from them. Meanwhile, France’s attacking lineup—Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Rayan Cherki, Michael Olise, and others—is even better than their 2018 World Cup-winning squad."
"But the World Cup winner often isn’t the best team; it’s about timing, moments, and sometimes luck. England is another contender. Although some fans disagree with the squad selection, I agree with Thomas Tuchel’s system-focused approach. They won all their qualifying matches without conceding a goal, so they have a chance. But unpredictable factors can come into play—red cards or bad luck. Argentina, as the defending champion, maintains their standard, though sometimes champions gradually decline."
Meng Summerhill Chumpot Songsaisakul added, "France is among the teams with the best chances. They have good players and a youth system that continues to develop talent, which is an advantage. However, if things don’t go well, Didier Deschamps tends to play it safe and rarely takes risks or tries anything new, even though the players are very talented. He is highly skilled and maintains high standards, but the players’ potential supports him greatly. He can field two strong squads. The other team I favor is Argentina, a tough and hard-to-beat team with strong tactics—you can't underestimate them."
