Very Italia 90 this Argentina World Cup. A lot of heart and luck along the way. And heart and luck can get you very far. But not all the way.

Maradona missing a penalty against Yugoslavia. Messi missing a penalty against Egypt. Argentina beating rivals they weren’t better than, but their rallying force took them above and beyond. Argentina turned enemy in the San Paolo. Argentina turned enemy in Atlanta and earlier.

Although New Jersey 2026 ends in heartbreak just like in Roma 1990, there was a certain spirit of 1986 that Messi managed to capture.

That England semifinal with a 2-1 scoreline will be remembered. Perhaps not it didn’t set the same legacy as it did in the Azteca, but a memory that will be cherished with during Messi’s swan song.

Primeiro, a glória.
Depois, a tragédia.

Leo e Diego, os mais argentinos de todos.

Is it me or the grass looks absolutely terrible at MetLife?! I was all in to have the final in NY but this is embarrassment. Gillette had the perfect grass the entire tournament. #WorldCupFinal

🚨 Argentina or Spain, do you have a favourite for today?

Kimi Antonelli (F1 driver): “Sorry, I'm a huge Messi fan, but at the same time I really like Barcelona, and a lot of their players are part of the Spain national team. It will be a great match.” #fcblive 🇪🇸🇦🇷

Golden Boot won because of a FIFA World Cup All Star Game. 😳🤷🏼‍♂️🥶

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

Why goals and assists in a completely useless third-place game count for the golden boot race?!! #WorldCup

Es espectacular que en las dos fotos nuestro capitán no mire la moneda y tenga los ojos clavados en el rival. Animales.

[WhoScored @WhoScored]

Since we started collecting data from 2009/10, Lionel Messi has won more WhoScored Man of the Match awards (389) than any other player. 🇦🇷⭐️

We have full coverage for 756 appearances, meaning Messi has won the MOTM award in 51.5% of his matches.

@OnyxOdds This is actually very accurate

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

I can’t be the only one to see World Cup Semis as:
- Lamine and the rest of Barca kids against Mbappe (minus Kunde)
- Messi against Jude
- Barca against RMA

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

Kudos to Switzerland, they played with their heart and really bothered Argentina. Same as Norway. I’m sure their people are proud of them.

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

Ok great now no way Atletico will let Alvarez go for less than $150mil #WorldCup2026

[Stu Holden @stuholden]

I have no problem with this outcome. Embolo embellished with the intent of getting another player booked. It’s a yellow card for simulation — not sure what the controversy is here? Don’t dive

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

Does Argentina know they have Lo Celso and Paz on the bench, against a low block team?!! #WorldCup2026

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

Argentina can easily play like this even if Switzerland had 13 players and somehow it took a red card to wake them up again. Maradona would be proud of this team 😅

[Ryan N @morenaya67]

Argentina will do its best to make this game as complicated as possible. Every single Argentina knows this, I just hope it doesn’t go to penalties. #WorldCup2026 #ArgvsSui
