Are South American teams going to dominate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Maybe not all of them, but it would not be surprising to see two of CONMEBOL's best in the tournament's semifinals. Here are my full power rankings with less than 100 days until the first game on June 11: You know, you love them (or at least you know them; I love them): the USA. Its not crazy to put USA here in the top-10. In the FIFA Rankings, the U.S. is at 15th, but again, this isnt just a World Cup; its a home World Cup and I think that is relative to the fact that they are going to find some magic, being the host and playing in a home World Cup, more than our friends in the north, Canada, and our friends to south, Mexico. Its still Germany. This isnt the greatest German team, but Germany and Germans: they find a way in big moments to be big, and I think theyre going to be big here. Morocco, everybodys darling over the past couple of cycles. Men, women, all ages theres something in the water over there and I think that will continue. I often times have been much more bullish about the Brazilian team than my "State of the Union" my co-host David Mosse, although hes coming around a little as of late. Were keeping an eye on Cristiano Ronaldo and a possible injury; who knows if that plays into it. Weve talked so much about the depth that Roberto Martinez has at his disposal with this Portugal team but also the dynamic that he has to deal with in Cristiano Ronaldo. I could have put England higher, but I put them at No. 5, and they should thank me because they dont want any pressure. I do think they will wilt and fold under pressure, so Im going to put them in at No. 5. Still, this a very good England team and you know it pains me to say that. While this is a great Argentina team and theyre the defending champions, a repeat hasnt been done since back in the 60s and I think its going to be very, very difficult to do. Everybodys darling, Colombia. Theyre a great team and I do think that the South American teams will have an advantage playing in North America and specifically playing in the U.S. as weve seen before in the Copa Amrica. I just feel like theyre comfortable and maybe more so than other teams. I think South America is going to have a big World Cup. Now youre getting to your usual suspects, your elite teams. You can interchange France and Spain, but Im going to put France at second. That means the aforementioned Spain comes in at No. 1. This is my power rankings. If you dont like my power rankings, get your own.

Barcelona in line to receive 10m transfer pinch from ChelseaBarcelona are hoping to return to La Ligas 1:1 before the summer transfer window opens at the start of July, and if they do, it will be much easier for signings to be made. It also means that money saved/brought in would go further, which is crucial in their bid to significantly strengthen Hansi Flicks squad.A new centre-back and striker are wanted alongside the permanent signing of Marcus Rashford, but at this stage, it is far from certain that Barcelona will be able to afford all of their desired targets. Returning to the 1:1 will help, but they must also raise funds, with player sales being one of their avenues.Another would be in the form of sell-on clauses being activated, and one to keep an eye on ahead of the summer is Vitor Roque. Barcelona sold the Brazil international last February in a deal worth 30m, and as part of that agreement, they are entitled to up to 20% of any future fee that Palmeiras, his current club, receives.Roque has been in excellent form since returning to Brazil, but he could now be heading back to Europe. According to BolaVip (via MD), Chelsea have registered their interest in Tigrinho, and an opening offer is being readied.Chelsea prepared to pay 50m for RoqueIts noted that Chelsea are willing to spend 50m to secure Roques return to Europe. Palmeiras are open to negotiations regarding the 21-year-old, although they would demand a significantly higher fee in order to sanction a deal.Barcelona would net 20% of any transfer fee received by Palmeiras in the event that it exceeds 40m (if lower, their clause would be 10%). 10m would be their share if a deal was to be done for 50m, but given that its likely to be more, the Catalans would be in line for a very nice pinch.
