While he is billed to be the BBC consultant at the next World Cup, the striker of the New York Red Bulls, Thierry Henry, has already designated his favorite team for this competition. For the former international tricolor, the host Brazil of Neymar da Silva will be the next world champions.

“People doubt on this Brazil team but not me. I think since the Confederations Cup, the willingness of players, the way they play, the intensity they put on each ball prove they are present. Neymar will also be an important factor in the good performance of the Seleção. It will be very difficult to beat Brazil at home but we know nothing is impossible in football, as history has already shown,” said the 1998 world champion on SportTV waves.

Henry is therefore not part of the 3% of French people who think that the Blues will return home with the Cup.
