Brazil legend Cafu has named the three favourites to win the World Cup in Qatar. Cafu was captain when Brazil lifted the World Cup for a fifth time in 2002.

According to Cafu, the three favourites to win the World Cup in Qatar are Brazil, Argentina and France.

“I think Brazil will win this year,” Cafu said as quoted on Daily Mail. “This is the strongest group of players since 2002 and the team don’t rely too much on Neymar, like in the past. Brazil are strong in all areas: defence, midfield and attack.

“Twenty years without winning a World Cup or even without a final appearance is too much for Brazil. I believe this will end in Qatar.

“Brazil are ahead of every other team. But I think Argentina are very strong as well. They are playing well and Lionel Messi is a genius. France have the same team that won four years ago. These are the three favourites.”
