And then suddenly, because they have this 39-year-old mystical quasi-religious figure at this point, Lionel Messi,
In their midst, they will rise up late and perform everyday miracles as they did in coming from behind yet again to stun England.
For them to face Spain, this is organisation, this is tactics, this is systems Spain against the complete opposite in Argentina.
We're blessed to see this battle and it is, as Steve Karnacki would say, it's too close to call.
That's exactly what it is.
It is.
None of it makes sense.
It is almost, um, a divine magic.
And it's, um, you know, the incredible thing about this final is that the star of both teams, 39 year old Lionel Messi, 19 year old Spaniard, Luminia Mal, incredibly, it looks like AI.
Many of your listeners will have seen it by complete chance.
When Messi was 20, he was in a photo shoot with a six month old baby.
That six month old baby turned out to be Luminia Mal.
And now when you look at it, uh,
these two are going to face each other leading their teams at very different ages into the greatest game, 5 billion people watching around the world.
It makes no sense.
I just did an interview with John Oliver where he said it makes no sense unless we find out that Lionel Messi, age 20, just realized that the only way that he could break the pressure of being a professional footballer was just by calmly bathing thousands of random babies.
Just kept him pure.
So either way, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
That would be a brave, brave man.
Watching what he did to England, I have never seen anything like it in sports.
