The group stage of the World Cup is the most important stage of a tournament. It is the stage where the main contenders for the victory of the tournament will fight for gold medals. The group stage is the best opportunity to understand the strength of the teams and their chances of success.
This year, the tournament is hosted by the United States. The team of Cristiano Ronaldo is the main favorite of the competition. The Portuguese has already managed to score a lot of goals in the international arena. The main rivals of the team of Ronaldo are:
* Liverpool;
* Manchester City;
* Chelsea.
It is quite difficult to choose the strongest team in the group, because the chances of the competitors are quite high.

The main advantage of the Portuguese team is its experience. The previous time, the team managed to win the gold medals only by luck. The competitors are not so experienced and they are ready to play at any time.
In the group stage, the main favorites are:
1. England;
2. Italy;
3. Germany;
4. Spain.
All the teams have a good chance of winning the gold medal. However, the favorites have a small margin of safety.
Now, it is much easier to follow the results of the matches of the strongest teams. The information is available on the reliable resource, where you can find the results and the schedule of the upcoming matches.
Group A
The first group is made up of England, Italy and Germany. The English team is considered as the main contender for the gold. The players of the club have already won the European championship twice. The leaders of the national team are: Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Tammy Abraham, and the goalkeeper Alisson.
There is a good opportunity for the English team to win gold medals again. The club is very confident and has a good lineup. The following players can play a key role in the success of the English club:
1 – Harry Kane;
1a – Jamie VARdy;
1b – Tammy Abraham;
2 – Alisson;
3 – Sterling.
If the team manages to win all the matches in the first group, it will be able to take advantage of its good position in the tournament table.
However, the English players have a number of problems. First of all, they have to play against the favorites of the group. The German team is a strong contender for gold. They have a very good lineup and are ready for any fight. The Germans have already managed a lot in the World Championship.
At the same time, Liverpool is a serious rival of the Germans. The Reds have a great chance to win. The problem is that the team is not at the best form.
Liverpool is the strongest club in the world, but it has a number problems. The most important one is the lack of motivation. The Liverpool players have already lost the Champions League final. Now, they want to win another trophy.
Manchester City is another strong club. The Citizens have a bright lineup. They are ready not only to fight against Liverpool, but also to win a gold medal at the end of the season.

Team of Ronaldo
The Portuguese team has a lot to do. The list of the main competitors of the Ronaldo’s team includes:
• Chelsea;
• • Liverpool;
•• Manchester City.
These clubs are considered as real contenders for gold medal, but they have a lot more problems.
Chelsea is the team that can give the Portuguese a real fight. However the team has already lost to the team from Lisbon. The loss of Eden Hazard and the lack the stability of the lineup are the main reasons for the defeat.
Also, the Champions league is not the best time for the Blues. The Champions League is a competition of the best clubs. The favorites of this competition are: Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG.
But the team still has a chance to fight for the title. The first matches of this season have shown that the Chelsea players are ready.
As for the other teams, they are not very confident. The lack of experience is another problem of the squad of the Lisbon club.
So, the Portuguese will have to fight not only with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, but with the other clubs from the group as well. The competition is very high and it will take time for all the teams to play.
Thus, the first matches will show the strength and the weaknesses of the rivals. Then the teams will be allowed to rest and prepare for the matches. It will be the best chance for the Portuguese to win their third European Cup.
