1 / 3

Arsenal and England legend Ian Wright told ITV Sport that Argentina have emerged as the team to beat for the 2026 World Cup after their gritty 3-2 win over Egypt in the Round of 16. Wright said his belief is rooted in Argentina’s unbeaten run this tournament and their knack for finding a way to win even when not at their best. He highlighted key performances from Lionel Messi, Cristian Romero, and Enzo Fernández, noting that Messi now leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals—one clear of Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.

I'm not convinced Wright's fear is justified; a single gritty win doesn't guarantee Argentina will dominate in 2026.
