World Cup 2026 Portugal England Jose Mourinho Cristiano Ronaldo

Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid coach, said Portugal and England are the strongest candidates to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He highlighted Portugal's talent, referencing the generation that produced players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, and noted England's pool of former stars like Frank Lampard and David Beckham.

Portugal opened its group with a 1‑1 draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo before overwhelming Uzbekistan 5‑0, with Ronaldo scoring two goals. After criticism for reposting a match photo without attribution, Ronaldo later added credit to Singapore photographer Edmund Wong, who captured the celebration moment.

England currently tops its group after a win over Croatia and a goalless draw with Ghana, with one group match remaining.
