That finalissima they cancelled just got rebooked!!! 🔥

[DG @BecomingDG]

Imagine cancelling the Finalissima just for the scriptwriters to book Messi vs Yamal in a World Cup Final instead. Football doesn’t miss.

Messi has now scored in NINE CONSECUTIVE WORLD CUP MATCHES.

It had to be him.

Messi is so good, he's multi-generational 🤣😭

1 DAY TO GO 🌍 FIFA WC 2026 🏆

No African nation has ever won the FIFA World Cup.

But one day, that barrier will fall.

If I had to pick the first African team capable of going all the way…

My choice is Senegal 🇸🇳

Why?

[The Fifth Official @The5thofficial_]

Which African nation do you believe has the best chance of becoming the continent’s first World Cup winner?

My choice is Senegal 🇸🇳

Why?

[The Fifth Official @The5thofficial_]

Because tournament football rewards organisation, discipline, athleticism and resilience.

Senegal have repeatedly shown they possess all four.

Will it happen this year?

Probably not.

Could they become the first African champions in the future?

Absolutely.

2 DAYS TO GO ⭐

World Cups don't just crown champions.

They create stars.

My breakout players to watch:

🇦🇷 Nico Paz

🇹🇷 Kenan Yıldız

Both have the talent to leave this tournament with a much bigger reputation than they entered with.
