Who doesn't want him to be the champion, that is all world wants him, I wish and prayed that messi lift the trophy the 2022 world cup Qatar
I don't have anything against Argentina but reality is going to play against them every one messi winning worldcup no speeking off brazil team no one speak off neymar
After the 2018 world cup..i think no team should be underestimated after what croatia did.
The “Finalissima” was a good example of how good Argentina can play as they beat Italy convincingly, and if they play like that in Qatar, there is no one stopping them.
I feel like Argentina will beat England in the final December 18,to lift their first world cup in 36years and more years of hurt for England.
I love Messi and would love to see him win the WC….. let's hope FIFA fixes it for Argentina…..
That wall of Christain and Lisandro seems frightening
Argentina can win it, no doubt in my mind.
Of course Argentina 32 undefeated messi and team are hungry I was impressed when they beat Italy I love Italy but this is a major chance for messi and Argentina best wishes 👏 hopefully!!! PG

Love Argentina but I don’t see them as WC finalists.
Well said Alex. Always the best.
Not a chance. They don’t have the skill to beat France, Netherlands, Brazil, England or even Portugal
Yes he is yes he is yes he is his last one he will win it
I hope this ages like milk 🤞
Imagine if Argentina plays against Portugal in the final..
Yessssss that is a yessssss… with the team they have build and there recent games performance they have all it takes to win it for sure…they just have to put the same performance they did previously with a different energy mood and take every game seriously…I meant they should have it in mind that it is most win game in every match…💗💙
Cuti Romero and Emy Martinez are crucial players. Argentina is solid at the back.
England 😂😂 my god
COME ON ARGENTINA! I BELIEVE! MESSI WITH THE LAST CHANCE OF HIS CAREER!
They can’t make it that far without Gonzalo Higuaín! They’ll be f**ked up by the Germans and by the way
What happened to Gonzalo Higuaín The Argentinian dude Who scored one goal against Belgium in FIFA World Cup 2014
they will because they won the COPA AMERICA AND THE FELISSIMA! GOING FOR THE TRIFECTOR!!
Messi P/N
This time we have no weakness ….we have a very good GK we have a very good attack and very good depending ..this time Argentina win the title 😌😌😌
in this world cup i think there are four country having fully perfect and balence team they are england argentina porugal and netherland one of the among can win in this world cup but for me either argentina or england can win but portugsl is dark horse team
Argentina 🇦🇷🤩🔥💀, Messi 🐐, Lautaro Martinez 🤖, Di Maria 💫, Julian Alvarez 🥵, Dybala ✨, De Paul☠️, Lo Celso😈, Guido Rodriguez 💪, Cristian Romero 💥, Otamendi🅾️, n The Wall Emiliano Martinez 🔥😎

The thing is, Argentina is not playing for Messi, now Messi is playing for Argentina and that's the game changer
I don't understand why everyone is riding the Spain and France train….France isn't even making out of the group stage of the nations league, and in the world cup will probably get spanked by Denmark and then get eliminated by Argentina in the round of 16. Romero/De Paul/and Molina are going to shut down Mbappe, can't wait to have all the baguettes crying. Spain? They lack a front line and can barely score…you think they're going to score against Argentina's defence? Also they do not have the work rate of the Argentina midfield, good luck with the overrated busquets commanding the midfield lmao….. Brazil….real possibility they knock us out in the semis, whoever wins that semifinal wins the Cup. Even then I can already see it…Arg/Bra wins World Cup….lowest level Cup in years…These pundits took too many headers in their time.
“Weak points in the Argentina team”
Also, haven’t lost a single time in 32 games since 2019
Also has basically the best of the best and many players being their last time at the World Cup hungry for one
Also finally beaten their curse, defeating Brazil in Brazil to win the cup americá
What’s the weak points in that team exactly?
Yeah let’s just give it to Belgium lol
🇦🇷🇦🇷
I've heard the same thing every world cup about messi and argentina. They are both overrated.
he will make all of you doubters and haters eat your words ✨my man will speak on pitch ❤
Craig is the most sensible pundit on TV right now.
Any team and every team has weak points…its the objective not to show them to the opponents…it has nothing to do with having wc players at every position..otherwise england may have won every tournament
That weak Argentina scored 3 goals against the world champion France. So why not this year with a better strategy, structure, mentality and teamwork.
This people will all ways support English
Argentina can win the world cup but the question is will they
Argentina got underestimated by each of them…wow
Inshallah 🤲🏼 Argentina 🇦🇷need to be well determined & should believe in themselves ❤️ and should believe until the end 🎉😍although we don't have great squad……
Then WC trophy is ours 🇦🇷💪🏽
I like the commentators are downplaying Argentina at the moment mainly because they are trying to compare this team to the 2018 team or before. This is the best TEAM and coach around Messi in his career. Workman like midfield, great defensive strategy, and let the gifted forwards do their thing.
Argentina might play Nederland in Quarters which you should expect them to reach semifinal.. they probably play brazil in semis and they have beaten them before…I think only France looks dangerous to me
You guys are just bitter old fools.
i love how they always under estimating us 🇦🇷 yet we played 5 world cup finals, how many countries can say that 3? maybe? argentina is bigger than france than england that spain so dont act like we are not candidates
I think you must change your name to
Messi fan club fc🤡
Even if they don't win, I'll be happy with them going down fighting.
