I'm going to root for Japan. Their home crowd privilege may help them pull it out from their group. They can get boosted to get a medal.
Matches between France, Brazil, Russia, and USA will all be interesting to watch, plus Argentina vs Brazil.

no offense, but i wish, instead of CAN and VEN, it was SRB/BUL/SLO.

You mention those 3 teams but not Germany who were actually the ones that just missed the ticket
Anyway, don't think BUL or SLO would add something better than CAN to be honest. And SRB... they were simply pathetic in all qualifiers. They don't deserve to be in the games.

Which team do you think will benefit the most and suffer the most due to the change in date?

I guess Brazil since they won't have any starter under 32 years old except Lucarelli? They all still look in good shape though.
All other teams have more or less have similar age average, don't think it would make much of a difference.

Poland might benefit from having Leon for a longer time of preparation. I could say the same for Brazil and Leal, but he's older.
The USA might also benefit by getting Sander more time to regain his shape after his surgery. -
Camejo may be able to join the Russian team as his embrago for naturalization should be lifted June of this year.. Personally not a big fan of him as he is quite inconsistent in attack ,and tbh offense is not really one of the main problems for Russian Men NT.

Russia has more talented own players.
As for now WCH 2022 are still to be held in Russia and I would invest much more in young player who would be perspective for 2022-24 years. -
