David Beckham has predicted that the Three Lions and Argentina will play in this year’s World Cup final. The former England captain was sent off in their last-16 defeat to Argentina at France ’98, but earned redemption with his match-winning penalty against them at the 2002 World Cup. Beckham believes the current England crop are destined to meet their old foes once again in Russia.
“I believe Argentina will play against England in the final. I think obviously my choice would be England to win the competition, but that’s me being biased and passionate about my country.I’m very happy that we won the first game in the group. England is a very young team, they don’t have a lot of experience yet and the journey of the World Cup will become harder and harder because there are many good teams in the tournament,” Beckham said.
