Posted on April 10, 2026 by Hot Source

Former Argentina defender, Oscar Ruggeri, has named Spain, France and England as the three biggest contenders to win the 2026 World Cup apart from his country.
According to Ruggeri, the aforementioned countries have very good players in their squads.
Speaking to BOLA VIP about the contenders to challenge Argentina for the World Cup, Ruggeri said, “For me, Spain, France, and England — I see very good players in them, I’m not sure about them as a unit — but I will still put them in.
“The Germans. We get frustrated, but somehow, they might not show much early on, and then you see them among the top four. And I think Brazil will improve,” he said.
The World Cup will take place in the summer and will be co-hosted by Mexico, Canada and the United States.
Argentina is the current defending champion of the World Cup after they won it four years ago in Qatar.

Super Eagles defender, Emmanuel Fernandez, has revealed why he wears the number 37 jersey for the national team.

The Rangers star recently made his debut for Nigeria’s national team against Iran in an international friendly on Friday.

Speaking with Rangers TV, Fernandez said his reason for wearing the 37 jersey for the Super Eagles was in memory of his late brother, who passed away at the age of 37.

“My brother passed away at 37, so it is like the only way to do things for him. Obviously, the age gap was over 15 years, so, as I was growing up, he was having his children and going to the University,” the 24-year-old said.

“He studied Engineering, and had three children. It’s why I wear his number. When he passed, I played a game a few days later, and now everything I do on the pitch is for him.”
