2026 FIFA World Cup: FINAL - Argentina vs. Spain

All these people, bots, and AI writing this social media smear campaign have never ever watched our South American qualifiers. We are always on the other side of the "dark arts". Then on the World Cup stage, we bring the expertise in it LOL.

Don't forget that a majority of WC2026 watchers and social media folks barely watch any football at all. They have no clue what offsides is.

 

These idiots never watch the games before speaking that’s the worst part. Spain was the better team but not only did a 39 year old defend, he was the only dangerous person on the pitch and both Spain and de la fuente knew that.

Remember the absolutely clear foul against Simeone when Simeone was dumped to the ground when clean through.

 

You know what? Maybe they should have the World Cup from November until December. We all saw players at their very best last time around. We were gliding on the pitch in many of our games. Not sure what Scaloni was thinking when he brought in all these injured players. Maybe we’re meant to last 6 games like the CA or 7 like the last Mundial… Without resting players this is what happened.

Players that need to be dropped immediately and forever. I believe this goes without saying…


De Paul
Nico G
Giuliano
Almada
Molina
Paredes(Sorry, Pekerman, it’s time)
Otamendi(Should’ve happened a long time ago)

Other players I say it more or less with respect. Montiel and Tags. Both will be far too old for the next Mundial. Maybe a CA as back-ups.

Messi can decide but if he decides to play in one more CA with a new group, that’s fine in my book. But if he wants to bring back the old gang for one Last Last Last Dance then forget it.

Im also concerned about players like Cuti and Licha. How will they be holding up on 4 years time?

Enzo and Mac need to get some rest and find their best form. The midfield needs a tweak to revamping.

I get starting over is never easy but it needs to happen. A total and complete rebuild. I’ll be sad to see Tags leaving but I never want to see the stupid mug of De Paul again. What a waste of space…

 

Yes, what in the world was all that????? Reminded me of the R9 situation before the 1998 final.

 

I can't see Messi going again. Remember before last CA he said he wanted experience what it was like playing as defending champion. I'm sure for WC it was the same motivation. But now? I dunno. I guess we'll see but I think his Miami contract wraps up in '28 and would assume he's done then. I guess there's still 1000 goal mark to go for.

 

I believe only winning Finalssima (if it does happen later this year) will reignite his motivation.

Having another shot at international trophy this year againts Spain isnt a bad idea ...

 

he's going to be 43 years old; set your expectations to reality, even at 41 we can't run this same game plan in the copa america which is to basically enable messi - it has to end, he was given his glory that he so rightfully deserved and it ended in the best run a senior verteran player has ever seen

yamal at 19 has a world cup, his career could be over by 25 with how many minutes he plays
the body young and old doesn't care who you are

you abuse it when you're young, you will pay in a few years and for messi, time will just catch up way faster

 

Somebody on Twitter wrote something in the lines of “I’m no fan of Argentina’s but it’s crazy the hate they get. It shows how easily people can get manipulated. It needs to be studied someday…” It shows you people are zombies and follow fads.

 

Between nations league and euro qualifiers Spain has a full schedule most likely until March 2028 (window for euro qualifier play-offs which I assume they won't need to play).

That finalissima is most likely never going to be played.

 

Generally people are sheeple and irrational.

 

We have 45M Argentines and you can add to that around 500M Argentina fans globally.

Asia, parts of Africa, central America, the diaspora, Italy, Greece. Biggest NT following along with the selecao.

No one cares about Spain outside of Spain apart from Mexico and the few bandwagoners.

 

​

 

Messi is just so classy. He might be even better as a person than a player. Hard to imagine.


Look at Messi at the top of the list with duels won!!! More than Rodri! You can subtract his 28 dribbles, and he still ended up with an insane number! He also beat out Yamal and Mbappe on dribbles, at the age of 39.




Also, the IFFHS, the official record keeper of all things futbol, awarded Messi the Golden Ball.





So Messi outdid Rodri, Yamal, and Mbappe all by himself! That’s insane.

 

En las últimas 4 finales del Mundial, solamente dos planteles subcampeones se quedaron en el campo de juego hasta la entrega de la copa: Argentina 2014 y Argentina 2026.

🚨 Lionel Scaloni: “Was the refereeing unfair? No, no. We lost because they were the better team. We have to acknowledge that they played better.

"We probably arrived at the final running on empty, that’s the reality.

"But sometimes it’s good to recognize that they were… pic.twitter.com/mgb36rj3yU

Egypt could take some notes

 

Makes a mockery of the Golden Ball being award to the turd Rodri then.

And Scaloni. Sorry mate you said they were running on empty. Did you not check with the medical team ? You had 5 fresh players available. You could have put into the starting line up. Barco, Palacios, Lo Celso, Paz, Senesi,

I'm sorry he gave the trophy away on a platter.

 

All this BS coming out from Madrid and the Spanish press. FO winkers.

France didn't stick around in 22. Did we demand their submission as it were ? No. Feck these whiny hunts.

 

this was one of the best finals but also one of the worst
leave it to the united states and fifa to make a shamble of it

 

💔🇦🇷 ENZO FERNÁNDEZ y JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ no volvieron a Argentina porque no querían volver a festejar, estaban DESTROZADOS

“No tengo nada que festejar, estaban muertos por el partido que jugaron, no tengo nada que festejar, yo estoy molido

Nosotros queríamos ganar el partido” fue… pic.twitter.com/KNyNCDzEFY

I agree... Good on them, at least they are being honest. What the hell is there to celebrate about?

 

Is this true? Messi didnt want us to defensive as per Aguero??
