The France and Brazil national football teams are the favorites for the upcoming World Cup, said the Argentine striker PSG Lionel Messi.
The tournament will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022.
– When asked to name the favorites of the tournament, we usually talk about the same fantastic teams. But, if I have to choose, then Brazil and France are two candidates to win. They have well-played squads, which have been led by one coach for a long time, ESPN quoted Messi as saying.
Messi did not include the Argentina national team, which has not lost in 35 matches, among the favorites. Argentina will compete in Group C at the 2022 World Cup alongside Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland.
