Legendary English footballer Wayne Rooney sees a strong favorite for the World Cup.
However, it's not his home country's team.
"I think the favorite for the world championships is Argentina.
Unlike in 2018, this South American team now has good and solid players, gathered around Lionel Messi - Lautaro Martinez, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paula, and of course, Angel Di Maria.
Last year's win at the Copa America gave them even more confidence and took away some of the tension.
The climate in Qatar is also suitable for the Argentines. The only thing they are missing is a player in the ninth position, but I think even without him, Argentina is very dangerous," said W. Rooney.
