BOLT TIPS ARGENTINA FOR WORLD CUP GLORY
Sprint king Usain Bolt has an early surprise pick to win the 2018 World: Lionel Messi's Argentina. The two-time South American champions have had their difficulties in recent times after struggling to even get to the tournament in the first place, but Bolt believes Argentina will turn things around in time for Russia 2018. An appearance at a fourth World Cup is likely to mark the final opportunity Messi has to win the famed trophy. Interestingly, the tournament will hold the same significance for Messi's rival Cristiano Ronaldo whose Portugal squad, the reigning European champions, have also made the cut. However, while insisting that he will not travel to the tournament, Bolt has made it clear where his allegiances lie for world football's premier showpiece next year. "I'll not be attending any of the matches, but maybe [I'll be there at] the next World Cup [in 2022 in Qatar]. So I'm supporting Argentina this year -- they're my winners," Bolt said. -Agencies
