World Cup 2026: They’re outstanding – Argentina coach Scaloni names two favourites to win trophy

Argentina coach, Lionel Scaloni, has named France and Spain as the two favourites to win the World Cup.

Scaloni spoke at his pre-match press conference ahead of Argentina’s World Cup quarter-final clash with Switzerland this weekend.

He described both teams as the outstanding teams at the World Cup after they recently qualified for the semi-final stage.

“I have not heard people saying Spain against France is an early final, but of course it is,” Scaloni said.

“They are two outstanding teams, two of the favourites, and unfortunately, one of them will go out.

“They are doing things very well. Theya re a frightening side,” he said.

Spain and France will clash in the semi-final on Tuesday after they both eliminated Belgium and Morocco in the quarter-final stage.
