World Cup 2026: Jurgen Klinsmann picks two major favourites to win trophy

Former Bayern Munich striker, Jurgen Klinsmann, has picked his two major favourites for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking in the recent episode of Stick To Football, Klinsmann picked Portugal and Brazil as the two main favourites to win the World Cup.

The 61-year-old German, however, admitted that England has the quality to win the World Cup if they believe in themselves.

“My two favourites are Portugal, because I see a little bit of similarities to Argentina and Qatar, where everybody played for Messi,” Klinsmann said.

“Portugal, everybody plays for Ronaldo. Cristiano is fully supported by this incredible team. It’s an incredible team of quality. With a very, very good coach, Roberto Martinez.

“I think Brazil also has a shot at it, and England has absolute quality, equality if they have the belief.”
