Donald Trump Reveals His Shocking Prediction for the 2026 World Cup Final Winner
US President Donald Trump has backed Argentina to win the World Cup final, citing Lionel Messi's exceptional skills. Trump praised Messi's match-winning assist for Lautaro Martínez in the semifinal against England, describing it as "exactly perfect."
Despite Trump's endorsement, Argentina is not the favorite to win. According to Opta's supercomputer, Spain has a 59.5% chance of claiming the title, while Argentina's hopes stand at 40.5%. Spain's history of struggling with penalty shootouts could be a factor, having lost more men's World Cup penalty shootouts than any other nation.
Argentina, on the other hand, has a strong record in penalty shootouts, thanks in part to goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and regular takers such as Julián Alvarez and Lautaro Martínez. However, Messi's own record in World Cup penalty shootouts is less impressive, having failed to convert half of the eight penalties he has attempted.
