Former Real Madrid and Germany national team midfielder Toni Kroos has made predictions for the upcoming World Cup.

According to the German, his compatriots can no longer be considered among the favorites of the tournament.

"I think the main contenders for the first place are Spain, Portugal, and France.

The Morocco team could provide a surprise, as they have greatly improved in recent years.

Unfortunately, Germany and Brazil do not even belong to the top five strongest teams," explained T. Kroos.

The famous German became the world champion in 2014 when he dominated in Brazil with his national team.
