The soccer world is celebrating the fact that Lionel Messi is just one match away from his dream. After starting the FIFA World Cup with a defeat, Argentina read Spain’s 2010 World Cup script and followed it so far to the finals. In 2010, Spain wrote history and became the only team to win the title despite losing the first match. Argentina lost to Germany in the quarter-finals back then, but they are the first finalists of the 2022 World Cup.
