2026 World Cup: Joe Hart makes surprise prediction for Spain vs Argentina

Former England goalkeeper, Joe Hart, has predicted that Argentina will upset the odds against Spain in the World Cup final.

Spain arrive for Sunday’s clash in New Jersey as favourites.

La Roja outclassed France in the semi-finals, while Lionel Messi and co needed late goals to see off England.

While Spain have been easy on the eye with their style of football, Argentina have not been dominant at all in the knockout stages.

But, speaking on The Rest Is Football, Hart said: “It’s hard to put the other night behind us and it’s hard to not feel anything towards Argentina.

“But if I’m to completely numb myself as a neutral, I’m so excited for this game and I’m so excited to see how Argentina can ruin the perfect football of Spain.

“When it comes to those big moments…Lionel Messi is phenomenal, the level he’s at.”
