The World Cup kicks off on Sunday November 20 with Qatar vs Ecuador.

It is the first time there has ever been a winter World Cup, though the weather in Qatar means it will still be very hot for the players.

Harry Kane heads into the tournament looking to win a second Golden Boot after his triumph in 2018 and Rooney believes he is among the favourites to do so:

β€œMbappΓ©, Benzema and Harry are all strong contenders. As I said, I think Havertz will have a good tournament. You cannot rule out Messi and Ronaldo I’m sure will chip in with a few goals. You never know with Romelu Lukaku . . . he could be the difference for Belgium in terms of how they do.”

Rooney also named his favourite to lift the World Cup, backing Argentina: β€œFor me, Argentina are the favourites. Unlike in 2018, they have plenty of good, solid players around Lionel Messi such as Lautaro MartΓ­nez, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paul and of course Ángel Di MarΓ­a.

β€œWinning the Copa America last year will have given them confidence and has taken a bit of pressure off them. The climate will suit them too. The only thing they are missing is a No 9, that focal point in attack, but I think they will be really dangerous.”
