Ronaldo does not back Lionel Messi's Argentina to lift FIFA World Cup 2022 title
Lionel Messi's argentina are not favourites to take the FIFA world cup 2022 title, says great Brazilian forward Ronaldo. The world cup champion, who is presently in qatar for the competition, admitted that despite all the hoopla, he did not think argentina would win the tournament when he sat in a media roundtable prior to the semifinal between argentina and Croatia. Ronaldo, who had brazil or france as his tournament favourites, remained true to his promise and stated that after brazil was eliminated from the competition, he now supported france to win the championship.
The two-time world cup champion stated in a media interview that "I have always predicted brazil and france in the final." "There is no longer a Brazil. However, france continues to support their standing as a favourite game after game, and I still regard them as the big favourites "He went on to say.
After france defeated england in the tournament's final quarterfinal match, the semi-final lineups were chosen. The reigning champions were paired with a determined Moroccan team, which defied all expectations to go to the tournament's semifinals as the first country from Africa. Ronaldo expressed his admiration for this team's journey and claimed that it was a gift from football.
