My support in this WC will be based on sympathy.
I want Portugal to win because of Ronaldo.
Messi is my GOAT but I want that balance. I believe a world cup will seal his greatness.
He is the only one without WC of the Big 4 of GOAT debate. Pele, Maradona and Messi won it. I feel for him. I feel for ambition. He is ambitious.
I feel England has also done a lot for football and I won't mind them lifting the WC, even as I ordinarily don't support or like them.
Unfortunately, neither of them is likely to win.
