Oscar Ruggeri Names Spain, France and England as Top Threats to Argentina at 2026 World Cup
Argentina legend Oscar Ruggeri has picked Spain, France and England as the biggest challengers to Argentina’s title defence at the 2026 World Cup. Speaking in an interview with BOLA VIP, the 1986 World Cup winner praised the individual quality of each squad but admitted he was unsure about their cohesion. Ruggeri also highlighted Germany as a potential surprise contender capable of breaking into the top four. He believes their trademark resilience could show up later in the tournament. Argentina will enter the 2026 finals as defending champions, after lifting the trophy in 2022. The next World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada and will feature 48 teams for the first time.
