Reasons Behind Fans' Preference for Argentina and Messi to Lose
The FIFA World Cup 2026 final match report shows a strong public preference in favor of Spain over Argentina, with many fans not wanting Lionel Messi to win a second consecutive title, out of fear that it would cement his absolute dominance over football. Supporters, including fans of Ronaldo and Brazil, have called on Spain's star Lamine Yamal to defeat Argentina, aiming to prevent Messi from achieving yet another milestone. Polls reveal widespread support for Spain, while at the same time reflecting fractures in solidarity with Messi, driven by the historic rivalry between the players and the lack of enthusiasm for Messi securing a second title. Additionally, political and football tensions—such as the longstanding disputes between Argentina and Britain—have influenced public sentiments. Latino fans are also experiencing a shift in their backing, due to events and claims related to refereeing decisions and Argentina’s performance.
