Samuel Eto believed Morocco would get to the semi-final to face France… which is exactly what happened FRA MAR FIFWorldCup
A number of football legends made bold World Cup predictions before the tournament began… that seemingly backfired.
Cafu, Samuel Eto’o and Tim Cahill all bizarrely predicted hosts Qatar to knock England out at the last-16 stage.While the Three Lions did their bit to get to the knockout rounds, Qatar failed miserably and were officially the worst host nation in World Cup history. Cafu and Cahill both predicted Brazil to win the whole thing, who went out in the quarter-final, while Eto’o back his home nation Cameroon to became Africa’s first champions.
While the former Inter Milan and Barcelona striker’s predictions certainly raised a few eyebrows, for how well he thought African nations would do, he got something bang on that no one else quite foresaw.He believed Morocco would get to the semi-final to face France… which is exactly what happened. They became the first African team to get to the final four and now have a great chance of reaching the final when they play the defending champions on Wednesday –Eto’o also correctly predicted that Morocco would beat Spain in the last-16 and then Portugal in the quarter-final.
