World Cup 2026

I tbink 🇪🇸 has too much for 🇦🇷.  I hope I'm wrong.  What Cape Verde did in this tournament shouldn't be forgotten.  Incredible effort.

I was speaking with a colleague (England fan) just as England scored and I told him I only watch Argentina for the last 10 minutes or so because they score all they need in that time period... and I switched on the TV at the 85th minute and sure enough, Argentina did Argentina!

Very pleased that the most insufferable potential winners (England and France) are now out of it.

I'll chalk it up to your European geographical bias, but Argentina is plenty insufferable, I'd argue far more so than England.

And certainly more insufferable than France.

If they didn't have Messi they'd be pariahs.

That's a photo of the then-20-year-old Messi bathing a baby for a 2007 calendar shoot.

The baby was Lamine Yamal, who is now a star for the Spain team that Messi & Co. will face Sunday.

lol

I probably needed to explain what those are to a bitter argumentative old man.
