World Cup Final Predictions and Analysis

This World Cup has given us everything.

A Ghanaian witch doctor bewitching strikers.

He's the man who put the curse on Harry Kane. Ronaldo taking his final bow.

Messi locking in and sending Bellingham back home.

But nobody, NOBODY predicted this final. Messi vs Lamine Yamal.

The goat vs the teenager he once bathed.

Yes, that photo is real.

In 2007, Yamal's parents won a UNICEF charity draw,

and a 20 year old Messi ended up washing a 5 month old baby for a calendar shoot.

That baby grew up to become the most

gifted teenager in world football. I want to show you a picture. Okay.

I'm sure it's a picture that you've already seen. There's a couple pictures here. Do

you recognize these people?

I had amazing history.

With Lamine being less than a year old,

Montfort said it was tricky to find some way to have the 20 year

old Messi interact with the baby.

Now, at 19, he meets the man who bathed him for the World Cup itself.

Full Kung Fu Panda vibes.

The master raised the one he must now face.

Argentina had the hand of God with Maradona. Fans are now

joking that Messi's hands are blessed too, because that bath was a baptism.

But the internet has gone further. Versus

Lionel Messi. This is kind of like the passing of the torch.

I feel like everybody has seen that UNICEF, you know,

commercial of them with Lameen as a little baby Getting rubby dub dub by Lionel

Messi as my friend Joe would say it's the goats with the baby goat The greatest

player of his generation against

a teenager that many believe will define the next one

Don't play Lameen just

go just win win against Argentina World Cup final Lameen

Please millions now believe this final was planned

Save me Lameen Yamal save me

save me from disaster and I will show you their evidence you

judge I can't deal with this up with another year if Messi won the World Cup again

I don't know what I can say as a Ronaldo fan. I can't say anything.

I can't say nothing So Lameen Yamal save us Ronaldo fans Start with

the number 19 both Messi and Yamal wore 19 at Barcelona

Yamal is 19 years old and the final lands on July the 19th

Fans have even crunched the age gap between the two and sworn the digits spell out

2026 now this is from 2007 and some fans are saying that this is a huge Conspiracy

and that FIFA has been scripting every game for the last 20 years

That's obviously ridiculous.

I mean you have to be stupid to believe that Until you look into

it numerology probably Absolutely. Fun? Absolutely.

You see, Messi is 39 now, but he was 20 in that photo.

39 minus 20 is 19, which is how old Lamine Yamal is now.

And what number does Yamal wear? That's right, 19.

What's more, this picture was taken in 2007, which was 19 years ago.

And what was Messi's jersey number in 2007? That's right, 19.

That's totally real,

but it gets crazier, because the final takes place this Sunday,

July 19th.

Then it gets more serious.

In the World Cup draw,

Spain and Argentina, ranked number one and number two in the world,

were placed on opposite sides of the bracket. Why?

Because of a rule guaranteeing the top two seeds could only ever meet in the final.

And when was that rule introduced?

Just months before the draw,

right when Spain and Argentina happened to be ranked one and two. What timing.

Then remember the finalissima,

Spain vs Argentina,

champions of Europe against champions of South America.

It was supposed to happen months before this World Cup, it got cancelled.

Conspiracy fans say the dream fixture was saved for the biggest stage.

And FIFA's own president had already said out

loud that it would be beautiful for football to see Spain and Argentina meet.

One more for the money watchers. Adidas makes the World Cup ball.

Adidas pays Messi a lifetime deal. And Adidas sponsors Yamal.

The torch is being passed from one Adidas goat to the next,

live, on Adidas' biggest advertisement of the decade.

Even the gamers joined the conspiracy.

Players of eFootball, the game formerly known as PES, noticed

the game handing out free Argentina and Spain players during the tournament.

As if the game knew who would still be standing on July the 19th.

Marketing calendar or crystal ball?

You decide. Even the subplot obeys the script.

Mbappé left Paris for Madrid chasing this exact throne,

and it was Yamal's Spain that knocked his France out, while Yamal's Barcelona keeps

tormenting his Madrid.

Now, my honest take, nobody rigged a bracket in 2007 around a baby in a bathtub.

Some things are just football writing poetry.

But when destiny and

money point at the same final, FIFA will happily take the credit.

So, the old goat or the child he baptized?
