Another title? Dibu's World Cup predictions

Just days before the start of the big football event in North America, Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez once again stirred the World Cup atmosphere. The Argentina national team goalkeeper took part in a viral challenge for an Aston Villa sponsor and dared to predict in detail how the tournament’s knockout stage will unfold.

The Scaloneta’s path according to the goalkeeper

With the confidence that defines him, the shot-stopper mapped out Lionel Scaloni’s team’s route from the round of 16 onward. According to his predictions, Argentina will beat Spain at that stage and then, in the quarterfinals, will once again knock out France, renewing the Qatar 2022 showdown.

For the semifinals, “Dibu” predicted that La Albiceleste will eliminate England through a penalty shootout, one of his greatest specialties.
