Former Real Madrid and Manchester United striker, Michael Owen, has identified England as the country that won’t win the 2026 World Cup.
According to Owen, England will qualify for the final but will lose against France or Spain.
The former England international admitted that both France and Spain are better than the Three Lions.
Owen spoke ahead of England’s World Cup semi-final fixture with Argentina on Wednesday.
“I think as an English fan, we can definitely get to the final,” Owen told Metro UK.
“I think we’d have more chance against Spain than France. But both of those teams would be favourites against us.
“I’m thinking we are going to get to the final and we are going to lose in the final. That is how I sort of see it.
“Of course, my heart says England, but my head says France are better than us; Spain are probably better than us.”
