Group Analysis
Spain continue their rebuild under a young generation — Pedri, Yamal, Gavi — and are one of the most exciting sides to watch. Uruguay with Valverde, Núñez and Araújo are physical, experienced and dangerous. Nigeria have a wonderfully talented group of young players who could be the surprise package of the tournament. Iran are disciplined and hard to beat, as Portugal found out in Qatar 2022.
Key Match to Watch
Spain vs Uruguay — tactical genius meets ruthless South American pragmatism. This classic European vs CONMEBOL clash will be the group's most fascinating tactical battle.
