If na African team do wetin England do tonight nothing we no go hear for this place about black people and black nations 😂

Na still Africa cause am due to the colonization of Africa by England, dem don imbibe African culture

Only Cape Verde dared to attempt to snatch Argentina's soul? I couldn't believe my eyes seeing Rohr football on England. I mean this is the nonsense Southgate was sacked so England never has to do anymore!

Good move.

La Furia Roja vs Albiceleste FINAL it is! Reigning European Champions vs Reigning World Champions. The postponed Finalissima will finally happen in a WC Final. Argentina joins Spain for a date with destiny. The Three Lions were on their way to a first WC Final for since 1966 when Anthony Gordon put them ahead but the Argentines stormed back like Possessed Souls and snatched Victory from the jaws of defeat. Enzo fernandez's strike was worthy of a game winner yet it was what brought the World Champions back into the game. And then Martinez's winner sealed and rewarded the comeback character of the "now possessed" Argentines. That Messi was at the heart of both goals via assists again shows his game-influencing aura as one of the GOATs of the beautiful game. Spain vs Argentina is a game we have never seen before in a WC knockout or decider. The first and only time they met was in a 1966 WC Group stage fixture in England. Argentina won 2-1. But the last time they met was in 2018 and it eneded 6-1 in favor of Spain. This time, both have a WC trophy on the line. Will Argentina hand it over to Spain or will they retain it? Destiny's date decides July 19th.

TheSuperNerd:
La Furia Roja showed for the 3rd time in a meeting between both nations within the last 2yrs why they are indeed France's boogey team. The Arch-Nemesis of Les Bleus strike again and with a show of superior technical quality. 2-0, controlled the game flow from minute 1 to end and most especially in critical phases and limited a really scary France attack to non-clear cut chances. France were never really close to scoring. The European Champions march on into another major final within 2yrs. Will they lift a 2nd WC title? July 19 will only answer that after the super classic between England and Reigning World Champions, Argentina. Who joins Spain for a date with destiny?

A first in WC History. 🇪🇦🇦🇷

Reigning European Champions vs Reigning South American and World Champions.

It just has to be only England.

2 occasions... 2 different coaches.... same Semifinal stage of the WC.

Cursed??

Make we hear word on this Messi worship. At least Ronaldo has won something, Messi would never win, Messi would and can never ever win the Euros.

LMFAO. Another Ogunmepon fan annoyed by a simple post about Messi . 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not laughing at your statement; I'm laughing because you actually thought it was intelligent enough to be posted on the internet. 🤣

Is that the level Messi's undeniable greatness has reduced Penaldo's fans to? That they now have to bring up a competition Argentina isn't geographically qualified to compete in, just to troll Messi? Is that the best you could do? Seriously? 🤣

If you find my posts about Messi so annoying, I'd advise you scroll once you see my moniker or better still use the block button. It will only take a couple of seconds to do that instead of this unnecessary heartache you're causing yourself. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lamine Yamal takes on Lionel Messi in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final 19 years after this photo of them both from a 2007 charity photoshoot📸

Messi was 20, while Yamal was just a six-month-old baby! 🤯

Written in the stars it seems.... 🇪🇦🇦🇷

Safe to say that the only African country that came this far and didn't incur the African 86th minutes curse was France as England had theirs yesterday.

AndSunGorilla:
African teams and bottling leads!!!! Before you ask me if England na Africa, they set up many governments in Africa.

I no know you self see am o.

England are the Dallas Cowboys of soccer. Loud and annoying fans telling us "it's coming home" every tournament and then they lose in hilariously excruciating fashion every single time.

Something something african mentality

Mane is better than Ronaldo then, cos he has won Afcon

Messi might just be the first player to win the Balon D'or while playing outside of Europe, if he wins the world cup and also finishes as the highest goal scorer.

AndSunGorilla:
That final would be crazy!!!!!! But except something happens in the heavens, I think Argentina would find a way to win it. Did anyone notice Messi looking up to the skies, as if say, God abeg b4 their equalizer?

Spain will win! If Spain can dismantle France with all their experienced players... I don't think Argentina can stop them! But then FOOTBALL is CRAZY!!!

Reigning European Champions vs Reigning South American and World Champions.

Has Scaloni ever lost a tournament with Argentina? This team is something else. Even when they don't play well, something just happens out of no where, case in point, Egypt (VAR), Switzerland (Embolo sky diving), even Cabo Verde, can Spain stop them? At the last Copa America they won, they came so close to not winning yet luck or whatever we can call it showed up for them. We wait till Sunday.

Especially when it comes to Argentina and Messi.

20 years apart! 39 vs 19 years old.
Messi vs Yamal
Who will win 2026 world cup?

I expect Yamal to. A son should be as great or greater than the 'father'.

Transfer of anointing through "Laying Hands" (lol). What a coincidence really. Though Yamal is still very young but I doubt if he can reach Messi's height of success. At 39, Messi has played every single minute of this world cup!!! Considering his longevity, he is arguably the greatest GOAT of GOATs. I don't think Pele or Maradona played at a high level till 39!!!! This is even someone who plays at a retirement league yet his levels haven't dropped. Can't wait for Sunday to come quick enough.

Your sarcasm is always nice to read but please never ever insult Pele be it by play or whatever. He remains the GOAT and god of football. The GOAT of GOATs. Period.

As for Maradona, he remains the GOAT of Argentina and the next GOAT after only Pele.
Messi follows next behind Diego.

Tuchel is proof that even some of the best and elite football tacticians can make really foolish decisions. England had no business losing that semifinals if they kept on attacking Argentina especially after going 1 up.
His decision to bring 3 defenders in as his 1st 3 changes was diabolically silly and he paid the price. Kudos to Argentina for taking advantage of such tactical stupidity. They deserved to be in the final over a team that decided to go haram.

TheGoodJoe:
It just does not make sense. Tuchel is known for possession play. How he abandoned it at this moment is baffling.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

These Mujtahida prophecy series is so hilarious. He don drop another one.😂😂😂😂

TheSuperNerd:
And it wont happen.

Two indigenous coaches make the final AGAIN. So the record and history stays intact.

Spain vs Argentina

Luis De La Fuente vs Lionel Scaloni

Yamal vs Messi

The Original Finalissima that should have taken place is finally here.

i had this in mind when I asked that question. I like to use my head but then we can't totally ignore superstition.
