Full prediction : Managerial mastermind Jose Mourinho has
backed England to come out on top against
Belgium in their World Cup group battle in
Russia – a shock selection in RT’s exclusive
#MatchMourinho predictions playoff.
The top Portuguese coach will be appearing as
a special RT guest host at the World Cup, and
we are giving you the chance to pit your
footballing wits against one of the shrewdest
tacticians in the game as part of our
#MatchMourinho predictor.
We can now exclusively reveal exactly who
Mourinho is tipping for glory in Russia.
One of his shock selections came in Group G,
where the Manchester United manager
cheered ‘Come on England,’ as he announced
that he fancies the Three Lions to finish on top
of the pile ahead of their Red Devil rivals from
Belgium.
The two teams meet in the final group game in
Kaliningrad on June 25, and Mourinho is
backing long-time underachievers England to
edge out a much-fancied Belgian team,
although he unsurprisingly believes both teams
will progress as the top two at the expense of
Panama and Tunisia.
Many would have backed the Red Devils to
come out on top against England, given that
they are taking a talent-laden squad to Russia,
which includes the likes of wing-wizard Eden
Hazard, playmaker Kevin De Bruyne and
prolific frontman Romelu Lukaku – but
Mourinho thinks otherwise.
Other World Cup selections saw double
Champions League-winner Mourinho back
hosts Russia over a Mohamed Salah-led Egypt
to progress to the knockout stage from Group
A, along with group favorites Uruguay.
His next selection proved controversial, as he
favored Spain to prevail over his native
Portugal in the battle of the Iberian giants to
finish top of the pile in Group B – although,
predictably, he backed both to progress as the
top two.
Elsewhere, mystic Mourinho’s group stage calls
included tipping Australia to make a shock
progression from Group C alongside France –
consigning Christian Erikson’s Denmark to an
early exit alongside Peru, a team heading to
Russia as many people’s dark horses for a
strong run.
Group D also threw up a Mourinho curveball,
as the Man Utd manager settled on Super
Eagles Nigeria to soar into the knockout stages
along with Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
According to the Portuguese, that means Euro
2016 sensations Iceland will be heading home
early, as well as a Croatia team boasting the
midfield maestros Luka Modric and Ivan
Rakitic.
Groups E and F saw Mourinho back the big
names, with his picks being Brazil, Switzerland,
Germany and Mexico to advance respectively.
However, his predictive prowess reverted to
upsets for Group H, and the Portuguese
manager backed Senegal to top the pile ahead
of Poland – despite the Poles having the
prolific forward Robert Lewandowski in the
ranks. |
