Ranked 10th, Musiala and Wirtz at Liverpool in the same team is terrifying for opponents. Nagelsmann has rebuilt them. Should top this group.
Ranked 23rd, solid CONMEBOL side, well-organised. Piero Hincapie at the back. Should qualify in second place ahead of Ivory Coast.
Ranked 42nd but have real quality. Amad Diallo, Simon Adingra, Evan Ndicka. Could surprise Ecuador for second place.
Historic World Cup debut. The smallest nation ever to qualify by population. Just being here is remarkable.
