The FIFA World Cup kicks off today, hosted by three countries for the first time in the tournament’s history. The biggest world cup yet, the tournament expanded from 32 to 48 teams for this year’s edition. 

Hosts Juan Diego Garcia and Jimmy Maas share their predictions for how the biggest World Cup yet will play out, and they enlist the help of commentator and soccer sage Adrian Healey to separate the contenders from the also-rans.
