Alexis Mac Allister snubbed England as he named his favorites to win next summer's World Cup, naming Argentina, Brazil, Spain and France as the teams to beat in North America. Mac Allister won the tournament in 2022 as Argentina overcame France via a penalty shoot-out after a pulsating final — Argentina has actually won the last three major tournaments it has competed in, with the team having also won the Copa America in both 2021 and 2024.

Mac Allister said that he included Brazil as one of his favorites due to the country's pedigree in the competition. "Spain, France, and Argentina are candidates," Mac Allister said.

Brazil has its history and its weight." "Right now, I see that Spain and France are among the best teams in the world... along with us and maybe a few others that could join. They have a clear idea of play, but we always trust in ourselves."
