On a day that will be etched in the history books for the convergence of sporting excellence and the rebirth of patriotic spirit, the Argentine National Team secured its qualification to the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup after defeating Austria2-0. The president, Javier Milei, was among the first to set the pulse of victory through his social media, with an energetic message:
“LET'S GO ARGENTINA DAMN IT...!!! Messi is the top scorer in World Cup history. The joy belongs entirely to the light blue and white. The joy knows no end and will never end”. The president's exalted tone is not casual; it reflects the sentiment of a country that, under his leadership, embraces once again the values of victory and individual effort put at the service of national destiny.
The president, Javier Milei
The cabinet of La Libertad Avanza collectively joined the presidential celebration, demonstrating the cohesion of a government team that celebrates hierarchy. The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, was emphatic in defining the captain as “THE BEST IN THE WORLD”.
For his part, the Minister of Economy, Luis Toto Caputo, provided a human and close perspective on the excellence of the Rosario star by expressing: “The Flea already brought a tear to my eye. What a lovable guy!”.
From the Legislative Power, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, resorted to irrefutable figures to dimension the feat: “Two matches. 5 goals. 38 years. What Messi is doing is something that will never be repeated”, concluding with an energetic “Let's go ARGENTINA!!!”.
On the strictly sporting front, the victory in Dallas was a demonstration of resilience. Despite a tense start where Lionel Messi hit a penalty against the left post of goalkeeper Alexander Schlager, Argentine hierarchy prevailed at the 38th minute of the first half after an assist from Facundo Medina for the captain to finish with precision.
The closing of the match was masterful: a subtle finish by the "Flea" inside the area sealed the score and raised it to 18 goals, surpassing Miroslav Klose as the top scorer in World Cup history.
Even in the opposition's attempts to tarnish the celebration with anachronistic ideological readings —such as that of Sergio Berni, who tried to attack the Austrian school of economics by comparing it to the rival's football strategy—, the figure of Javier Milei and his defense of the "light blue and white" prevailed as the only guiding principle of the celebration.
With six points in Group J, the Team of Lionel Scaloni is preparing to face Jordan next Saturday, June 27 at 11:00 PM (Argentine time), while the country celebrates that, both in finance and on the field, the Argentina of Milei has once again become an unstoppable power.
