Swedish football icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revised his prediction for the outcome of the 2026 World Cup. Speaking while covering the tournament as an analyst for Fox Sports, Ibrahimovic indicated that he anticipates Spain will defeat the current reigning champions, Argentina, in the final match. He pointed to Spain’s strong showing in the semi-final against France as evidence of the team’s potential.
Ibrahimovic expressed confidence that the squad managed by Luis de la Fuente possesses the capability to replicate this success against Argentina. “I believe Spain can stop this Argentina. They will play their football, they will dominate possession, while Argentina is not a team that lives off counter-attacks,” Ibrahimovic stated.
He further elaborated that the Spaniards are expected to maintain control of the match from the opening whistle. This latest prediction from Ibrahimovic suggests a shift in expectation regarding the ultimate victor of the cup. His analysis focused on Spain’s possession-based game plan as the key factor in overcoming Argentina’s tactical strengths.
