Former Super Eagles midfielder Wasiu Ipaye has tipped Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar on Sunday.
Ipaye, in an interview with Sports Joust on Friday, disclosed that he picked Argentina over France because he thinks Messi would do everything possible to win the match, and be ranked the greatest footballer of all time. Football fans and pundits have adjudged Pele and Maradona the best in the game’s history.
“I know it will be very difficult for Argentina because France is also a good side. Messi single-handedly took his team to the final, and I’m sure he’s going to do it again,” Ipaye said.
The former AS Sogara FC of Garbon player, who predicted that Argentina would beat France by 1-0, also said the two-time champions would still triumph over their European opponents should the game stretch into extra time.
“I think Sunday’s final will bring the best out of Messi. He needs the cup more than all the players on both teams because this is his last world cup. Argentina will win it,” he adds.
France defeated Argentina 4-3 in the round of 16 at the 2018 FIFA world cup held in Russia.
