'I'd be HAPPY for Messi to win World Cup but HYPOCRITE to say I'd be happy for Argentina!' | Ronaldo

Two-time World Cup winner Ronaldo has tipped defending champions France to win Qatar 2022 and thinks that star striker Klylian Mbappe is the player of the tournament.

The former Brazil striker told a group of international media on Monday that Mbappe's pace and goalscoring prowess reminded him of his own playing style which saw the 46-year old become the FIFA World player of the year three times and scoop two Ballon d'Ors.

Mbappe was kept quiet by England in 'Les Bleus' 2-1 quarter-final win on Saturday but the 23-year-old is still leading the race for the Golden Boot with five goals at this World Cup.

Ronaldo said England fans should "be proud of the World Cup they played" having tested France to the final minute of a tight game where their captain Harry Kane missed a crucial penalty with six minutes to go to level the score at 2-2.

France face the surprise semi-finalists Morocco in Wednesday's semi-final with Tuesday's match seeing Argentina play Croatia.

And with his native Brazil being knocked out of the tournament by Croatia, Ronaldo said he would be a "hypocrite" to root for bitter rivals Argentina, but would be "happy" to see Lionel Messi finally lift the World Cup on Sunday.
