World Cup Predictions: Christian Karembeu
Published May 4, 2026
Go back 28 years, and Christian Karembeu was living out every footballer’s dream.
Just imagine for a second: You’re walking out onto the pitch to the roar of the Stade de France, as one of 11 players chosen to quell Brazil’s samba magic and win a World Cup on home soil.
Alongside Zidane, Desailly, Deschamps, et al, Karembeu and France had the 1998 World Cup final won by half-time.
That’s some tournament pedigree. So who better to make predictions about this summer’s tournament than the Les Bleus legend himself?
Watch as the former Real Madrid midfielder talks about his favourite World Cup shirts, France’s hopes in 2026, teams to watch, and more.
