Piers Morgan Shares Bold 2026 World Cup Final Predictions

The FIFA World Cup 2026 has officially kicked off, with the United States hosting the initial festivities, alongside co-hosts Canada and Mexico. Amidst the excitement of the opening ceremony in Los Angeles, which featured a host of celebrities and a grand spectacle, attention is already turning to which nation will lift the coveted trophy in July 2026. Adding to the early discussions, well-known journalist and broadcaster Piers Morgan has shared his thoughts on the potential champions.

Morgan, utilizing his platform on X (formerly Twitter), put forth a rather striking forecast regarding the managerial aspect of the eventual winner. He posited that the long-standing trend of a country never winning the World Cup with a foreign manager is set to be broken this time around. He specifically named two high-profile coaches, Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti, as individuals who could make history by guiding their respective nations to glory.

Delving into specific teams, Morgan suggested that either England or Brazil would emerge victorious from the expanded 48-team tournament. While expressing a personal preference for Portugal to win if England falls short, he highlighted Brazil as a particularly formidable contender. He pointed to their exceptional squad depth, a capable manager, and their perceived suitability to the conditions in North America, noting that their relative lack of media attention could make them a 'dangerous' dark horse.
