Venezuela knowing what's at stake in that game are expected to go all out for a good result but playing against an Argentina side that's ranked as the no.1 team in the world, I don't think they'll be able to leave with a point from that game. Argentina leads the group just like you rightly said are surely gonna feature in the next edition of the FIFA World Cup why their opponents will need a good result to still remain in a good place to qualify but that doesn't mean Argentina will let them get a result in theArgentine soil. My prediction is that Argentina will win that game with at least 2-goal margin.
Yes, in my opinion, the Argentine team is the super favourite to win a lot more, it's also true that this will be Messi's last year, the last tournament for one of the greatest players ever, who knows, maybe he'll repeat what he did at the last World Cup, bringing them another cup.
Lionel Messi is a very good player no doubt he was very instrumental in winning the last world cup and I know Argentina are very lucky and happy to have him, I will really miss him after this last competition he will be participating in because his about to retire and I know very well that Argentina will play their best in order to give Lionel Messi and ending career that is very great, so they will play their best in this match that Messi will participating in, Messi is still very active in playing football and I believe he will perform very well just like he did in the last world cup competition.
I still can't forget the performance of Messi in the last world cup he did very well and he was very instrumental for Argentina however at a point I was thinking France will win them but that did not happen thank God for the Argentina goalkeeper he really was their Savior.
We are lucky because we have seen Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo play since the beginning of their careers.
Messi is undoubtedly one of the best footballers in the world. Argentina won the World Cup in the last World Cup tournament only because of Messi. Messi played a big role in Argentina's victory in every match, but Messi's career in the Argentina jersey was not so bright in the past. Although Messi performed well for the club, Messi could never have performed well in the Argentina jersey. Rather, while Messi was in the team, Argentina qualified for the finals of several major tournaments, but Argentina lost every time, but in the 2022 World Cup, Messi really proved himself in the Argentina jersey. When Messi won the 2022 World Cup, I thought that Messi might end his career there, but Messi is still playing football so it is expected that Messi will dominate the field in the 2026 World Cup.
It is very likely that Argentina will have a match tonight on their home soil, which will probably be Messi's last international match on Argentina's home soil wearing the Argentina jersey, and there is a lot of interest among Messi fans surrounding this match and they are already preparing to bid Messi farewell.
