13 - 🇦🇷 Alexis Mac Allister has played in more @FIFAWorldCup matches without losing than anyone in the competition's history (13). 11 wins 2 draws (both won on penalties) 0 losses Invincible.

Spain v Argentina is a great final. They're the reigning champions of Europe & South America and they haven't played competitively in 60 years. So it has the calibre you want in a World Cup final AND it has the freshness you wouldn't get from France v Argentina / Spain v England.

20 - The only two players to complete 20+ dribbles at the 2026 World Cup: 25 - 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi, aged 39 22 - 🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal, aged 19 Relentless.

🚨🇭🇺 Dominik Szoboszlai has agreed to sign new FIVE year deal at Liverpool, valid until June 2031! Verbal agreement in place with final details being sorted ahead of signature and official statement. Szoboszlai stays, fully committed to #LFC new project under Andoni Iraola 🔴🔐

There’s been lots of talk from a Liverpool perspective about Alexis Mac Allister being washed after a really bad year but I thought he was excellent in the second half last night. Unlucky not to grab a brace and send Argentina through himself.

I’m trying to find a way to describe Messi that hasn’t been said before. Every single time he just blows my mind. People are brushing this madness under ‘it’s just Messi’ but this is a 39 year old. Why is he still dribbling past players in their peak

10 - 🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo is the forward with the most FIFA World Cup knockout stage appearances without scoring in open play (10). Unwanted. #AskOpta

The amount of casuals who’ve fallen for the Anti-Argentina/Messi propaganda is mad to me. People I respect on here, who are obviously have never watched a football match in their lives, coming out with the most random crap because they’ve been told to think that. It’s crazy.

Cristiano Ronaldo 🆚 Lionel Messi | 2026 World Cups stats 📊 @skrill | #ad

He woke the beast Big mistake 💀

Most assists in World Cup history: ◉ 12 - Lionel Messi ◉ 10 - Lionel Messi in the KO rounds ◉ 8 - Diego Maradona Incredible. 👏

Lionel Messi has either scored or assisted at EVERY game during the 2026 World Cup: ⚽⚽⚽ vs. Algeria ⚽⚽ vs. Austria ⚽vs. Jordan ⚽ vs. Cape Verde ⚽🅰️ vs. Egypt 🅰️ vs. Switzerland 🅰️🅰️ vs. England 12 goal involvements in seven games. 🤯

Next time when a World Cup winner speaks you listen. He talked his shit and dunked them

Two 10/10 performances in a World Cup semifinal. lived it. loved it.

If you still don’t think Lionel Messi is the greatest player of all time, what on earth will persuade you? Perhaps a second World Cup? If he leads Argentina to be the first team to win back-to-back titles in 64 years? What about if he scores in the final? Scores two, then? A hat-trick? Will that do it? Argentina’s win against England gave more proof that you can’t stop Messi. You can try, and occasionally he will go a game without scoring; very occasionally that will be because you have managed to contain him. But more often than not, he will find a way. Play how you like, he’ll find a way to kill you somehow. Admittedly, England played into his hands by giving him plenty of space outside the box, but even if you can blame them for their tactics after going a goal up, maybe you can’t really blame them for being beaten by Messi. @NickMiller79 🔗 nyti.ms/3RzJivf

🇦🇷 Lionel Messi vs. Inglaterra en semifinales: 9 regates completos. 🤯 Eso es más que Cristiano Ronaldo (8) en los ÚLTIMOS CUATRO MUNDIALES COMBINADOS.

🚨⚠️ Cuti Romero: “Lisandro and me, we were on fire before the game because of what Gary Neville said”. “In England they love to speak before. We send him a big hug… I hope I’ll not be like him when I retire, I will NOT criticise players”, told @DSports.

Lionel Messi was key to Argentina's comeback 🔑

While Tuchel’s tactics and substitutions had a negative impact, Scaloni’s had a major effect. As soon as they brought Nico González on they had that run in behind the defence. Rodrigo De Paul put in some fantastic crosses and Lautaro Martínez sent Argentina to the World Cup Final.

Argentina do it again. This is what they do, the mentality of this side is unbelievable. Lionel Messi the difference once again. Horrible tactics from Thomas Tuchel which I’m really surprised by. Argentina deserved it.
