Qatar is poised to host the first World Cup in the Middle East in the tournament's 92-year-history and the first during the Northern Hemisphere winter.
And there could be a few more firsts along the way.
A South African team to win it for the first time?
It's like a World Cup that nobody really wants. Maybe some players included? It's definitely different to previous World Cups. I've not seen as much enthusiasm as usual from European players wanting to get there. I just get the feeling that anything can happen.
I've been looking for an outsider to go on a bit of a run and i've had a few small bets on Senegal to have a decent tournament. Maybe they can push on from their African Cup of Nations success.
They should have a great belief in themselves. They seem a together group and should be able to handle conditions. They are my outsiders.
There are some better prices about but i've had small bets on these...
