Liverpool ace Alexis Mac Allister has snubbed England when naming his four favourites to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The midfielder, who won the World Cup with Argentina in 2022, has already helped La Albiceleste secure their place at next summer’s tournament, with the 26-year-old integral to the defence of their title in North America.
“Spain, France and Argentina are candidates,” Mac Allister told when asked who would win international football’s ultimate prize. “You can add Brazil to that. They’re making a comeback, and even though they might not be at their best right now, it’s a team with great players, and now a great coach has arrived. Brazil has its history and its weight.
England are yet to book their ticket but are closing in on a place at the expanded tournament after winning their opening five qualification games. They are starting to find their feet under Thomas Tuchel, managing impressive wins over Serbia and Wales most recently.
