Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tipped Argentina to fail dismally in future tournaments following their controversial 2022 FIFA World Cup celebrations.
Lionel Scaloni's men triumphed at tournament in Qatar in December after a penalty shootout victory over France following a 3-3 draw in the first 120 minutes of the final.

Lionel Messi was a key figure for his team, winning the Golden Ball award after becoming the first player to score in every round of a World Cup.
The Paris Saint-Germain star also made history in becoming the first player ever to win the Golden Ball more than once.
However, much of the debate since the World Cup final has centred on the Albiceleste's behaviour during their celebrations, with direct taunts being issued at Kylian Mbappe by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in particular.
This was deemed disrespectful by many, and AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic has now joined in the condemnation, while also making a big prediction about the title-winning nation's future.
"Messi is considered the best player in history, I was sure he was going to win," he said, per the Daily Mail.
"What will happen is that [Kylian] Mbappe will still win a World Cup.
"I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the others in Argentina, because they will not win anything more.

"Messi has won everything and he will be remembered, but the rest who behaved badly, we can't respect that.
"This is coming from me, speaking as a top professional player, that is a sign that you will win once, but you won't win again.
"You don't win like that."
