Talismanic Indian football team captain Sunil Chhetri today rated Lionel Messi as the greatest player of all time but did not include Argentina among his favourite four teams to lift the World Cup in Russia.
"If you're asking me four good teams then I would say Germany, Spain, Brazil and France look really strong," Chhetri said.
"I hope some other team proves me wrong. England are darkhorses, while Belgium have a very good side."
"A lot of people say that since he hasn't won the World Cup, he is not a great player or whatever. I think he is the greatest player ever to play football. He is extraordinary. I just hope, for his sake, that he does well and Argentina win the World Cup."
"I don't want to take names. It's time to watch the best players play against each other. I think that is the whole thing of World Cup. It comes in four years. As neutrals, just enjoy it as there are so many players to watch out for."
