Sky Sports pundits have predicted what will happen at the World Cup, which kicks off on Sunday.

Winners

Jamie is from Argentina.

Either Brazil or Argentina was the choice. I want Messi to win the World Cup. That would make him the greatest player of all time.

Karenarney is from Brazil.

I have a soft spot for them, but if you look at their attacking players, they are just a joy to watch. Everyone talks about Messi's last one, but it could be someone else. The winner of the semi-final between Argentina and Brazil will decide who goes to the final.

There is a person named Jamie Redknapp in Brazil.

I've gone with Brazil because I think it could be their time again.

Gary is from Brazil.

When you look at the Brazil squad, you think, "Oh my gosh, where have they come from?" When I played in tournaments, it was the same thing. They had great players. They will win it.

Jamie was in Portugal.

There is a person named Karen Carney in Spain.

I think it's their possession of the ball that will allow them to win. Their young players are amazing in the middle of the field. I back them to keep the ball because their manager is very experienced and they only worry about goal scoring.

I don't think it will be different because they have won the World Cup before without a top scorer.

Gary Neville believes Gareth Southgate has banked himself credit from previous tournaments and says Southgate has earned the right to decide if he wants to stay as England manager, should they fail at the 2022 World Cup

Gary is in the quarter-finals.

I don't think England will beat France in the quarter-finals and I don't think France will beat England in the semi-finals.

The group of players that I think can put a performance together and hang in there are the ones that I think can win on penalties. I think France will be better in the quarters.

SKY SPORTS PUNDITS DEBATE THEIR ENGLAND WC XI'S
Gary Neville, Karen Carney, Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher give their predictions on who they believe will start for England in their first match against Iran, and who will be most valuable for Southgate throughout the tournament

Jamie was in the quarter-finals.

Everybody's expectations have been lowered by England's performance in the Nations League I hope that I'm wrong and that we start playing. Anything is possible if we can get that belief and real confidence in these players.

People think France could win the title, but they have problems in the middle of the field. It will take some time for me to be excited.

Karen was in the semi-finals.

This is the most we can hope for. I think this is the reason we might progress past France. We would be happy after that. It would be nice to get to the semi-finals.

Wales

Daniel James and Harry Wilson describe how excited they are to be heading to the World Cup with Wales and insist they are not going to Qatar to make up the numbers

Bale will go down as one of the greatest British players of all time, as well as being the player of the year a few times in England, because of what he has done for Wales.

The USA team may be too much for them, I think.

Surprise package

Jamie Carragher is from the country ofDenmark.

They played each other a long time ago and won. France could play Argentina in the first knockout stage if the Danes win the group.

There is a person named Karen Carney in Spain.

The man is Jamie Redknapp.

Gary Neville is from the country ofDenmark.

The man is Jamie Redknapp.

Some of the players in the team are talented and have good speed. They are fun. If Spain do well, I don't think they will go deep into the tournament.

Surprise early exit

Karen Carney is fromBelgium.

Jamie Carragher is fromBelgium.

They finished third in the last World Cup, but I don't think it's a step too far. Romelu has not played for a long time. I don't know if he played this weekend for Inter Milan. They might be the surprise package to leave.

Top Goalscorer

Karen is a fan of LionelMessi.

Jamie and Lautaro were friends.

A lot of goals are scored by the winner of the Golden Boot. I went for Argentina because they have Saudi Arabia in their group.

When you look at the fixture, you can see that Harry Kane has a chance. It would be awesome to see him win back-to-back Golden Boots. He will score goals for Argentina.

Jamie and Lautaro were together.

Player of the Tournament

Karen Carney is associated with the football team.

I think Argentina and Brazil will meet in the semifinals and it will be a fight between Messi and Neymar. The winner of that battle will be the player of the tournament.

Gary's name is Gary.

Jamie is a fan of Messi.

Jamie Redknapp is associated with a football player.
