Favorites
France started the campaign impressively, with 10 goals scored in victories over Senegal, Iraq, and Norway. Argentina also entered the group stage strongly, with Messi as the top scorer in the tournament, with six goals in three games.
Spain, the European champion, was tipped by bookmakers as the main favorite to lift the trophy before the start of the competition, but the 0-0 draw in the first game against debutant Cape Verde will have raised some doubts about the team's moment.
