Iwobi Rooting For England
Iwobi believed the European giants have what it takes to go all the way, and lift the trophy.
“I personally believe England have a great chance of winning the World Cup,” Iwobi told Sky Sports Football.
“They’ve got so many stars in the team and so much ability. Even the players who are not starting can come off the bench and hurt the opposition.
“So, I’ll say England, but I also believe France are strong contenders. The attacking threat that France have is scary, but I actually hope England wins it.”
The Three Lions will face Black Stars of Ghana in their next game at the Gillette Stadium on Tuesday night.
