Father Time keeps sending Messi invoices and he keeps marking them return to sender 😭
Messi is officially headlining Argentina's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, where the reigning champs are defending the title they won in 2022. It's his sixth World Cup, putting him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo as the only men to ever play in six, and he's doing it as captain after Scaloni waved off the injury worries. He just turned 39 this week, and he's still the most dangerous player on the pitch.
Everyone wrote the "he's too old" headlines like he hasn't been hearing that since 2018. Meanwhile he's still nutmegging defenders into early retirement and gliding past three guys like he's got somewhere to be. Some people age out of the game. He just keeps renewing the lease.
