Chris Sutton’s choice was France.
Sutton is a former soccer player and is now a soccer commentator for the BBC. He played as a striker for Blackburn, Chelsea, Celtic and Aston Villa before retiring in 2012.
He is most recently known for his ‘BBC Octopus’. It is a nickname that compares to ‘Foul’, an octopus that predicts the victorious teams in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
He is just as good at predicting winning and losing teams. It was Sutton who predicted that Korea would beat Portugal and advance to the round of 16.
Ahead of the semifinals, Sutton’s foresight shone again. Matching Argentina’s progress to the final.
The one remaining bracket that Sutton chose is France. “Morocco’s miracle will stop here. It’s a really good team, but France is too strong. I think France will score first and keep the lead,” he predicted a 2-1 victory for France. 메이저놀이터
In terms of objective strength, it is an easy victory for France. However, Morocco is the only undefeated team in this tournament. Except for an own goal against Canada in the group stage, there are no goals.
That’s how strong the defense is. Sutton also appreciates this. However, it is regrettable that it is not normal power, with two main center backs missing due to injuries.
Sutton said, “The Moroccan defense looks easy to break, but it’s difficult to attack when you face it. None of Belgium, Croatia, Spain, and Portugal have scored a goal against Morocco. was the team that doubled the fun of this World Cup. I hope I’m wrong, but the strength France showed is so powerful.”
