EZULWINI – It is very hard to predict this year’s FIFA World Cup champions.
At least that is how visiting former World Cup star and Nigeria’s Super Eagles
and SuperSport TV World Cup Russia 2018 analyst Augustine ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha
views it.
“I never thought we’d have this top four before the tournament started.
It’s a very unpredictable World Cup. Currently, France are the only team that
have a chance to win it but tonight (yesterday) we’ll see who joins them in
final between Croatia and England,” he said when questioned if he ever
imagined the big guns like Germany, Brazil, Argentina and Spain not reaching
this stage and who he thought would win it.
He said the tournament being so unpredictable was the beauty of the game and
that it was now about the managers and players readiness for it.
“Even the scores are now small margins so it shows football has grown in most
countries,” he said.
He insisted on not predicting the champions but reiterated that it was a tough
and unpredictable World Cup but one of the best in a long time.
