Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup victory was marked by several dramatic comebacks, including penalty shootout wins against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals and France in the final. However, no World Cup matches took place on July 15, 2026, as the tournament concluded on December 18, 2022.
Lionel Messi, who captained Argentina to their third World Cup title, scored seven goals and provided three assists during the tournament. His performances included a penalty in the final against France and a goal in the shootout.
Claims of recent 'miracle wins' in July 2026 are unverified. The next men's World Cup is scheduled for 2026 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
