@nocontextfm1 An average Argentina team that has won every competition since 2019 vs World class English team that has won absolutely shit since 1966 Makes sense.
9 & 2 - Lionel Messi completed nine dribbles and assisted two goals against England - the first player on record (from 1966) to do so in a single FIFA World Cup knockout game.
Catalyst.
ARGENTINA HAVE PULLED IT OFF AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What can I even say about this side??? In awe, lost for words, all the superlatives and more. This side simply DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO LOSE.
It’s utterly, utterly ridiculous at this point.
It’s so weird that FIFA, by this idiot’s “marketing” theory, DID NOT want any of the host nations to make it past the Round of 16, & made certain Brazil & the Netherlands didn’t advance, either….so we could watch….Egypt. Everyone loses at things, but losers complain when they do.
Get this… on top of scoring the most goals in the competition, Messi now also leads the way for most expected assists and most big chances created lol.
39-years-old, the best goal-scorer AND the best creator at the World Cup.
What can you even say? 😂
WHAT. A. COMEBACK. 🤯
🎖️ Messi is the oldest player to record a goal and assist in a single World Cup match: 39y 13d 👴
He breaks the record of... Lionel Messi, who was 35y 172d against Croatia in 2022.
Ronaldo said it's easier to win World Cup with Brazil, Argentina than Portugal.
Haaland tonight just knocked out Brazil and proved that historical success doesn't matter in present. What Brazil or Argentina achieved in 2002 or 1986 has nothing to do in 2026.
