Rabat – From match to match, Argentina’s unexpected comebacks always make fans eager to watch the Albiceleste’s advance to the next rounds.
What makes them special is that they don’t play for numbers or statistics; they play for their people.
In Argentina, they say “our heart is not red, it is blue, sky and white” a great attachment that goes far beyond football.
They refuse to quit or rely on defence only; they always fight no matter what the result is, even if they lose, they would rather lose while trying to win.
Argentina confirmed that they do not need to dominate a whole game; all they need is a decisive moment, a last-minute goal, and a killer in the box like Messi or Lautaro Martínez.
Their mentality should be taught in school, one of resilience and persistence.
On Wednesday, confirmed it is a powerhouse by defeating England through another late comeback, with two goals scored by Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez.
England had taken the lead earlier with a 55-minute goal by Gordon, but they could not control the game.
With 5 minutes to go, Enzo Fernández fired in the equalizer. And just as extra time loomed, substitute Lautaro Martínez scored the winning goal in stoppage time.
“Everything we have achieved is incredible; we came through a very difficult match,” said Lautaro Martínez.
“In the second half, they scored, and they dropped back offensively. We managed to settle into the game, control it more calmly, and keep possession,” he added.
This was not La Albiceleste’s only remontada in the 2026 FIFA World Cup; the very same thing happened with Egypt when everyone thought that the Pharaohs had secured a place in the quarterfinals with an early 15-minute goal by Al Hanafi and a second-half goal by Mohamed Zaki Abdelraouf.
Argentina shocked everyone and came back stronger with 3 successive goals in the last 13 minutes.
Another crazy remontada was against Cape Verde when Argentina struggled to find a way past Josimar Diaz Vozinha; however, the 2022 champions managed to survive this battle against a heroic Cape Verde with 3 goals, 2 of them in the additional time.
Argentina will face Spain on Sunday, July 19, in one of the most exciting finals in tournament history.
