Messi: Brazil, Germany, France, and Spain Have the Best Chances of Winning the World Cup in Russia

Lionel Messi, the prominent international footballer from Argentina, believes that Brazil, Germany, France, and Spain have the best chances of winning the 2018 World Cup. He considers a draw with Spain in the group stage to be the worst possible outcome for Argentina's football team in the World Cup in Russia. According to the news site 'Delocal', Messi, who is in Moscow for a friendly match between Argentina and Russia, stated in an interview with 'TYC Sports' on Wednesday, November 8, that 'they [the Spanish team] are a tough opponent, and I would prefer to avoid playing against Spain.' Messi, who also plays for FC Barcelona in Spain, mentioned in another interview with an Argentine television network that Brazil, Germany, France, and Spain are the teams with the highest chances of winning the World Cup in Russia. The professional football player expressed that he thinks these are currently the strongest teams with the best footballers and the most impactful performances. Argentina's team secured their place in the World Cup by defeating Ecuador 3-1. The global football star remarked, 'I always believed we would qualify for the World Cup, but I thought this would be confirmed before the match against Ecuador.' This football star, who wishes to continue living in Rosario, his hometown in Argentina, after retiring from football, said, 'I don't know what will happen in the future and how I will feel. For now, I live in the moment and do not focus on the future.'
