After the 2026 World Cup final defeat against Spain, reports have positioned Lionel Messi's future in Argentina highly in doubt. Lionel Messi gave everything he had, but it wasn’t enough to capture back-to-back World Cup titles as Argentina fell in a tense, low-scoring final against Spain. Following the heartbreaking extra-time loss to La Roja, multiple reports indicate that the 39-year-old superstar’s international future is suddenly on shaky ground. According to ESPN Argentina, sources close to Messi admit that continuing with the Argentina national team will be difficult following the physical and emotional toll of the final defeat. With the captain set to turn 43 during the 2030 tournament, embarking on another grueling four-year cycle feels like a daunting mountain to climb for the legendary playmaker. As reported by ESPN‘s Esteban Edul, the overwhelming consensus within the squad was that the 2026 campaign represented Messi’s final World Cup appearance. Even leading up to the tournament in North America, the Inter Miami star hesitated to publicly commit to the roster, adopting a cautious, year-by-year approach before ultimately suiting up. Furthermore, Messi’s potential departure presents a major predicament for head coach Lionel Scaloni. The manager reportedly feels that launching a complete squad rebuild in the post-Messi era will be an immense challenge, even with a strong foundation of international stars already in place. Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina reacts during the World Cup 2026 Final against Spain. Messi had structured his international career to peak at this exact moment, while on the club side, his current contract with MLS side Inter Miami runs through December 2028, at which point he will be 41 years old. Edul noted that while his Argentine teammates plan to do “everything humanly possible” to persuade their captain to stay, the final decision will rest entirely on how Messi’s body holds up. AFA targets Messi for short-term events including Finalissima and 2028 Copa America After everything he has achieved for his country, Messi earned the right to decide his international retirement on his own timeline. However, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) is already building its short-term sporting plans around the captain’s potential availability. As reported by insider Fernando Czyz for Doble Amarilla, the AFA has outlined immediate objectives that include keeping Messi in the mix for upcoming international windows. Within that roadmap, the South American governing body envisions the forward participating in the upcoming Finalissima, 2030 World Cup qualifying fixtures, and the 2028 Copa America. In that context, his day-to-day workload with Inter Miami will be vital, as regular MLS play through 2028 would allow him to maintain match fitness without the relentless wear-and-tear of a European calendar. For now, the Argentina FA is patiently waiting to meet with Messi’s inner circle, refusing to impose any hard deadlines on whether he chooses to hang up his boots or push forward for one last ride.
Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera made a massive error that cost his side as they lost to Spain by a goal to nil, crashing out of the 2026 World Cup in North America.The South Americans needed a dra...
Cape Verde set up a historic showdown with reigning champions Argentina in the knockout rounds after drawing 0-0 with Saudi Arabia on Friday to extend their fairytale journey at the 2026 World Cup. Uruguay crashed out after goalkeeper Fernando Muslera's costly error handed Spain a 1-0 victory in Guadalajara, sending the European champions through as Group H winners.
Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are two of the biggest names that will be missing the 2026 Word Cup with Uruguay national team. Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani have been the two defining strikers of Uruguay‘s golden generation in the 21st century, standing as the most prolific scorers in the nation’s history. Yet neither of them will be suiting up for La Celeste at the 2026 World Cup. Since Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa took charge in 2023, he has been tasked with steering Uruguay through a generational transition ahead of and beyond the 2026 tournament. That process has involved a significant overhaul, leaving behind several figures from the squad that memorably reached the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup. In a striking reflection of that shift, Bielsa named only three forwards in his 26-man roster for North America, Darwin Nuñez, Federico Viñas and Rodrigo Aguirre, all natural center forwards capable of leading the line as a traditional striker. Why aren’t Suarez and Cavani at the 2026 World Cup? Both Suarez and Cavani are absent from the 2026 World Cup because they have each retired from international duty. Cavani’s final appearance for Uruguay came at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, while Suarez played his last game in the national jersey in September 2024 against Paraguay. Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani of Uruguay. Under Bielsa, Cavani was never called up once, while Suarez made his exit from international football a few months after the 2024 Copa América. Shortly after that farewell, the Inter Miami forward went public with his criticism of Bielsa, accusing the Argentine coach of fostering a negative atmosphere within the squad. In the months that followed, Suarez softened his stance and left open the possibility of accepting a call-up if Bielsa ever extended one. That call never came, and the 39-year-old will be watching from the stands as one more supporter cheering on La Celeste. Despite their absence, the legacies both forwards have built with Uruguay will endure for generations. Suarez stands as the all-time leading scorer in Uruguayan soccer history with 69 goals in 143 appearances, while Cavani sits in second place with 58 goals in 136 matches. Suarez and Cavani surpassed by Muslera in World Cup appearances While Suarez and Cavani have written their final chapters with the national team, goalkeeper Fernando Muslera has earned one last moment in the spotlight. His inclusion in the 2026 squad makes him the first Uruguayan player ever to appear at five different World Cups, moving ahead of a distinguished group that includes Suarez, Cavani, Diego Godin, Pedro Virgilio Rocha and Martin Caceres, all of whom reached four appearances. Atletico Madrid defender Jose Maria Gimenez, meanwhile, is set to make his fourth World Cup appearance with this edition, joining that same group. At 31, Gimenez still has a realistic shot at making the 2030 tournament and potentially joining Muslera in the five-edition club.
Plus: which teams had the most wins without promotion and can anyone match Jadon Sancho’s hat-trick?“Matvey Safonov did not make a single save in the Champions League final, across normal time, extra time and penalties, and wound up winning it,” notes Philip Cornwall. “I realise records are limited, but has this happened before in a major final?”We’ve found three more Champions League finals in which the winning goalkeeper did not have a save to make, though none of them had the chance to do so during a penalty competition. When José Mourinho’s Porto beat Monaco 3-0 in 2004, Vitor Baía made no saves that were officially recorded, though he did make one great stop when Fernando Morientes was wrongly flagged offside.
