Micah Richards U-Turns and Now Picks France to Win 2026 World Cup
Former England defender Micah Richards has reversed his prediction for the next World Cup winners. He says France are now his favourites after initially tipping Spain. Richards highlighted Les Bleus’ clinical 4-1 victory over Norway in their recent qualifier. He praised their mix of attacking flair and defensive organisation led by Kylian Mbappé. Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Richards named Argentina, Morocco and England as strong challengers. But he insists no side has matched France’s ability to raise their game. With Didier Deschamps still at the helm, Richards believes France have every chance to lift the trophy in North America.
