I support Argentina against moron Brazilians. Argentina is the stuff dreams are made of. Messi is our chief magician, the wizard, the genius and the best.

Both Messi and Brazil captain Neymar are chasing their first major international trophy.

They have won the Olympics – Messi in 2008 and Neymar in 2016 – but not the World Cup or Copa América. Neymar was injured when Brazil won the Copa on home soil in 2019 and Messi has fallen at the final hurdle on three occasions with Argentina, in 2007, 2015 and 2016 – disappointments that sit alongside his defeat in the World Cup final in 2014.

That said Brazil is no match for Argentina. Argentina is passion. Romance. Dream. So I support Argentina.
