Ian Wright: Only Argentina Can Stop France’s 2026 World Cup Charge
England legend Ian Wright believes the only side with the mindset to beat France at the 2026 World Cup is Argentina. He singled out Lionel Messi and his teammates for their warrior spirit on the biggest stage. France powered into the last 16 with a 3-0 win over Sweden, thanks to a Kylian Mbappé brace. They will face Paraguay as they bid to reach their third straight final following the 2022 loss to Argentina on penalties. Wright warns that despite France’s star-studded attack, it will take Argentina’s blend of talent and mental toughness to halt the reigning European champions.
