The first-ever FIFA World Cup in the Middle East is set to kick off on Sunday, November 20.

The hosts Qatar will take on Group A rivals Ecuador in the tournament opener.

Speaking on the team to win the World Cup, Lineker, a former Barcelona attacker, told the Guardian, “It’s been 20 years since a South American team won the World Cup and if you asked me to put my head on the block and say you have to pick someone I think I would probably pick Brazil, slightly ahead of Argentina.”
