Former England captain David Beckham believes that the Three Lions will meet Argentina in the World Cup final in Russia.
Gareth Southgate’s side secured a last-gasp victory over Tunisia in their opening match in Group G, while Argentina were held to a 1-1 draw by tournament debutants Iceland in a game where Lionel Messi saw a penalty saved.
Both nations have dreams of glory at the tournament and Beckham is tipping the two sides to sweep through their opponents in Russia and secure a spot in next month’s final in Moscow.
“I believe Argentina will play against England in the final,” Beckham said at an event in China.
“I think obviously my choice would be England to win the competition, but that’s me being biased and passionate about my country.”
