“Portugal is the favorite because Cristiano is going to have penalties in his favor like Messi did in Qatar 2022. He is going to have favorable energy”, said former Uruguayan defender Diego Lugano.
“Brazil is the South American team I have the highest expectations for to go far. I think that during this World Cup it will go from less to more”.
Lugano brings back the controversy over the number of penalties awarded to Argentina during the last World Cup, which it won. Now he believes Cristiano will be the beneficiary.
