Which European nation has the best chance to win World Cup 2026?

Europe has historically dominated the World Cup, with only Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay winning outside the continent. Austria returns after a 28-year absence, relying on Marko Arnautovic, David Alaba, and Marcel Sabitzer. Their Group J opponents are Jordan, defending champion Argentina, and Algeria. Austria has not won a knockout match at a major tournament since 1954.
