- The well-known journalist picks the favourites and builds the ideal all-time backline with Franz Beckenbauer on the bench
The World Cup kicks off on Thursday and Allwyn GameTime welcomes one of Greek football’s most experienced analysts, Antonis Karpetopoulos.
With his trademark style, which combines knowledge and humour, the accomplished journalist gets the audience into the mood of the event early on, starting with the opening game between Mexico and South Africa. He also explains why he sees France as the early favourites to win the trophy, and makes predictions for the top scorer and MVP of the tournament.
He analyses the 6 first games of the competition and presents his own “ideal squad” of all World Cups with Francis Beckenbauer on the bench.
He recalls the match that is indelibly etched in his memory, singles out Marcello Lippi as the most charismatic coach he has ever known and stresses that Giorgos Karagounis was the player he changed his mind about when he met him off the pitch.
He reveals the team he would like to manage, showing with humour his willingness for… twists and turns in the Greek football scene. Finally, he accepts the challenge of Christina Vrachali and tests his knowledge in a game with real and…AI football quotes.
