Argentina's bid to defend its FIFA World Cup title in 2026 is gaining momentum. The team's success in Qatar was largely due to Lionel Messi's leadership, but the Inter Miami star remains uncertain about his participation. In a recent interview with ESPN, Messi expressed his desire to be involved in the tournament, stating 'I hope I can be there. It'll be special.' Messi's comments come as Argentina prepares to face new challenges in North America. The team's captain, Messi, has a trusting relationship with his coach Scaloni, which allows them to discuss their plans openly. 'He always tells me that he'd like me to be there in any role,' Messi said. Argentina's chances of defending its title are looking promising, with Messi praising his teammates as a 'great group.' However, he acknowledges the difficulty of winning the World Cup, citing the team's experience in the 2022 final against the Netherlands and France. Messi believes that even the slightest mistake can cost a team the title, but he's confident in his team's abilities. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting Messi's decision on whether he'll participate. One thing is certain: his presence would make the tournament 'special' for everyone involved.
