Former Brazil player Kaka has claimed that either the Brazilian or Argentine national teams are capable of taking home the FIFA World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022.
The FIFA World Cup has been won twice by La Albiceleste, in Argentina in 1978 and Mexico in 1986, and five times by Brazil’s A Selecao, in Sweden in 1958, Chile in 1962, Mexico in 1970, the United States in 1994, and Korea/Japan in 2002.
The Middle East will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup from November 20 to December 18.
In 2002 in Korea/Japan, a South American nation last claimed the FIFA World Cup. Kaka was a member of the Brazilian team that won the trophy on June 30, 2022, at the International Stadium in Yokohama after defeating Germany 2-0.
In an interview with MARCA, Kaka emphasized Argentina and Brazil’s qualities as the 2022 World Cup nears.
“Hopefully but European football is very good. We also have a handicap and that is that with the birth of the UEFA Nations League we can no longer play friendlies against great teams of the old continent and that makes us less competitive because, in South America, Brazil wins almost every game,” Kaka told MARCA
“This makes it more difficult to grow as a team, although it is true that the two teams arrive very well at the World Cup and have great players
“I really like Argentina, they arrive in full maturity and have a great coach. In short, both Brazil and Argentina have great chances to win the World Cup.”
Argentina are in Group C of the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Poland, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, while Brazil are will play in Group G alongside Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon.
