English football legend Peter Crouch has already picked out his top favorite to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy next summer.

England is clearly among the favorites for the 2026 World Cup, having qualified thanks to a flawless campaign in Group K. Peter Crouch, the former England international, believes the Three Lions are set for a big tournament across the Atlantic.

"I think we have a real chance to win the World Cup. Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham are true stars, but for me, the key player remains Harry Kane. On the other hand, I was recently in the United States, and it was very hot—even in October. The South American teams will be better suited to the heat and summer humidity. That’s something we, as England supporters, haven’t really considered yet," admitted the former Liverpool striker in an interview with The Times.
