Let me amend that. IMO ARG is the most complete team
in that half of the bracket. I think Spain is the 2nd most complete team to FRA but they're both in the top half of the bracket. I think Argentina is more "complete" than Norway who is utterly dependent upon Haaland, the Swiss who have yet to face a truly elite attack, and England.
I think the France V Spain decides the Cup.
