The World Cup in Russia promises to be the highlight of the 2018 sporting calendar, with numerous nations in with chance of lifting football’s ultimate prize. Holders Germany and five-time winners Brazil are amongst the favourites for the tournament, whilst France, Spain and Argentina are also well-fancied. 32 nations will contest the World Cup, but the biggest surprise is the absence of Italy from the competition. The Azzurri missed out on their first World Cup finals since 1958 after a 1-0 aggregate defeat to Sweden in the play-offs. The Netherlands and Ivory Coast are other notable absentees, whilst Panama’s progression to their first-ever finals at the expense of the USA was also a major shock. The 2018 World Cup will be the first time Russia has ever hosted this event and their 11th appearance at the finals. Their highest finish was 4th place in 1966. The highest scoring game in World Cup history was in 1954, when Austria defeated Switzerland 7-5. Over three billion people – almost half of the world’s population – tuned in to watch the 2014 World Cup and those figures could be surpassed this time around.
