World Cup: what are the predictions inside the lyrics?

It’s no secret, IShowSpeed is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, and he even dedicated a song to him in June, Ronaldo (Sewey). That should give you already a hint about which team has more chances of winning the World Cup, according to his predictions. Let’s read together the lyrics of the second part of the song.

Come on now man
It’s that World Cup time
Y’all know who ’bout to win
Christano Ronaldo, Portugal
Portugal vs. Argentina
Ronaldo verse Messi
In the last stage
Ronaldo scores a free kick
And that’s game, three-to-two
GG’s to all the rest of the countries, man

IShowSpeed is not afraid of superstitions and expresses his prediction and wishes explicitly: he believes that the World Cup final will be Portugal vs. Argentina, and Portugal will win the cup thanks to a free kick scored by his idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

That said, he’s aware that many teams can have some chance. Portugal and Argentina are his first picks because of the players on the field, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and it could be a great match to see as a final. There are many other strong teams, though: here is the list of countries that have a chance to win the World Cup from IShowSpeed’s point of view:

Brazil, you might win
Switzerland, you have a chance
Uh, France, you might got a chance
England, you have a chance
Germany, might got a chance

Reading World Cup lyrics, therefore, seven teams are considered the favorite for the victory: Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Switzerland, France, England, and Germany.

That would be slightly different than the odds estimated by the betting portals, which list the favorite winners of the World Cup in the following order:

  1. Brazil
  2. Argentina
  3. France
  4. England
  5. Spain
  6. Germany
  7. Belgium
  8. Portugal

Switzerland is the only country mentioned by IShowSpeed that doesn’t appear among the eight teams that have more chances to win the World Cup. Instead, Spain and Belgium have a higher probability of winning, according to official betting websites.
