Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Maybe Donald Trump was simply confused. He must have seen the ticker tape, a group of men cavorting around an American field clad in red and thought he’d stumbled into one of his Maga rallies. That is the only logical explanation for his bizarre behaviour on the champions’ plinth in (a stadium near) New York as Spain hoisted their freshly won trophy aloft, Trump having to be dragged off the stage by notorious wallflower Gianni Infantino as Rodri exhibited his trademark composure, patiently waiting to bask in his team’s glory moment. This is the way the Geopolitics World Cup ends, not with a bang but a desperate grab for attention from the US president. The GWC final had already witnessed its own on-field disgrace of course, in the shape of Argentina’s shameful performance. La Albiceleste tarnished their proud footballing history with a display completely devoid of ambition, pride and, well, quality. No shots in regulation time, no shots on target in the entire 120 minutes and Enzo Fernández sent off in ignominy. Even Lionel Messi embarrassed himself for snitching to Slavko Vincic, pleading with the referee to brandish a red card after Marc Cucurella dared to put his hand to his mouth. The full-time scenes were even more debasing for Argentina, losing their heads in such a manner it made their first-half roughhouse tactics in the semi-final against England look like child’s play. This is the way the Geopolitics World Cup ends, not with a bang but a thump from Leandro Paredes. Stay classy, lads. With no little hyperbole, Trump proudly proclaimed the GWC to have been “one of the greatest events of any kind ever held”. Does that sentiment hold muster? Well, it’s certainly been the biggest World Cup ever, with more teams, more matches, even more hosts than ever before. But of the 104 games (up from 64 in 2022), many have felt like a slog. UK readers, can you look Football Daily in the eye and truthfully say you stayed up until 3am to watch the conclusion of Ecuador 0-0 Curaçao? There has been plenty to enjoy, of course. Cape Verde were a genuine breath of fresh air, the only nation to play Spain and come away unscathed, while their near-miss in the last 32 against Argentina will be forever etched in World Cup folklore – oh what might have been but for Messi’s genius. We hope to see the Cape Verde lads back in 2030. Belgium’s late comeback to down Senegal was pure cinema, while England’s 6-4 win over France will live longer in the memory than a third-place playoff should simply for its pure weirdness.Football 1-0 Sh!thousery.

Enzo Fernandez's 2026 World Cup ended in misery as the Chelsea midfielder was sent off in Argentina's final defeat to Spain. The 25-year-old had already been booked for showing dissent towards referee Slavko Vincic when he made a poor challenge on Pau Cubarsi in the last minute of normal time. Fernandez was subsequently sent off and received Argentina's first red card at a World Cup since 2006.
Argentina have secured their spot in the World Cup final, after defeating England 2-1. It had been England who initially took the lead, with Anthony Gordon scoring in the 55th minute. However, the remainder of the match saw a reversal of fortune, as Lautaro Martinez and Enzo Fernandez both netted late in the match. Argentina will face Spain in the final on July 19.
Lionel Messi edged Argentina closer to back-to-back World Cup titles with two late assists in a dramatic 2 to 1 semi-final against England on Wednesday. The 39-year-old captain inspired the defending champions to overturn a one-goal deficit in the closing minutes, setting up Enzo Fernandez's equaliser before providing the cross for Lautaro Martínez's winner to book Argentina's place in Sunday's final against Spain.
Lionel Messi just unlocked another mind-blowing milestone. The legendary Argentine captain shattered a World Cup record that even Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric never managed to touch. Lionel Messi just unlocked another mind-blowing milestone. The legendary Argentine captain shattered a World Cup record that even Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric never managed to touch. As Argentina fiercely defends its title, Messi is proving age is just a number on soccer’s biggest stage. The Argentina national team has relied heavily on Messi throughout the 2026 World Cup, and the captain has continued to answer every challenge with decisive performances. His latest accomplishment further strengthens an already unmatched legacy and highlights how he continues to redefine what is possible for players approaching the latter stages of their careers. Messi’s newest milestone arrived during one of the most memorable matches of the tournament. The Argentina national team produced a stunning 3-2 comeback victory over Egypt in the Round of 16 after trailing by two goals late in the second half. Messi first provided the assist for Cristian Romero’s goal before scoring the equalizer himself, allowing Enzo Fernandez to complete the turnaround with a dramatic stoppage-time winner. Despite missing a penalty earlier in the match, the Argentine captain refused to let the setback define his evening. Instead, he played a decisive role in keeping the defending champion’s World Cup dream alive. The victory also sent Argentina into the quarterfinals, where it will continue its pursuit of consecutive World Cup titles. The astonishing record that sets Messi apart The comeback against Egypt also produced another piece of soccer history. According to Opta, 47% of every World Cup goal ever scored by a player aged 38 or older has now been scored by Lionel Messi. What’s more, every one of those goals has come during the 2026 World Cup. Messi has now scored eight goals at the age of 38 during this tournament, accounting for eight of the 17 goals ever scored by players aged 38 or older in World Cup history. The statistic perfectly illustrates the extraordinary level the Argentine continues to reach long after most players have either retired or accepted significantly reduced roles. 8 – Of all goals scored by players aged 38+ in FIFA World Cup history, 47% have been scored by Lionel Messi just in 2026 (8/17).Endurance. pic.twitter.com/HVHtCh6GeX— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) July 8, 2026 Standing above World Cup legends Goals from players aged 38 or older have historically been exceptionally rare. For decades, Roger Milla stood as the symbol of longevity after scoring four memorable goals for the Cameroon national team during the 1990 World Cup. Other veteran players, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, and Pepe, added isolated goals across later editions, but the overall total remained remarkably low. Messi’s extraordinary 2026 campaign has completely reshaped those historical numbers. His eight goals alone nearly equal the combined contributions produced by every other player in that age category throughout World Cup history, underlining just how unprecedented his tournament has become.
