FIFA WC 2026: 'Portugal’s Players Will Do For Ronaldo What Argentina Did For Messi,' Says Paul Masefield
FIFA World Cup: Former English footballer and commentator Paul Masefield is backing Portugal to win the FIFA World Cup 2026, saying the squad could rally around Cristiano Ronaldo in the same way Argentina united behind Lionel Messi during their triumphant campaign in Qatar four years ago.
Asked to pick his favourites for the tournament, Masefield, who is part of the expert panel for ZEE5's coverage for the FIFA World Cup 2026, said Portugal’s blend of quality, experience, and motivation makes them strong contenders to lift the trophy.
“If I look player-for-player, team-for-team, the groups and everything, it may shock and surprise a few people, but I’m going to Portugal,” Masefield told IANS in an exclusive interaction.
