Argentina defeated Australia in the round of 16. Last time Australia made it to the round of 16 was 2006, where they were defeated with a late penalty by Italy, who went on to win the tournament. By the law established in that singular example, Argentina having defeated Australia in the round of 16 *this* time around will win the cup.
It's a rule.

I was rooting for the ultimate chaos result in the Messi vs Ronaldo debate. Portugal to beat Argentina but Ronaldo to sit the whole match.

Love it when messi fans say this, a statement completely devoid of critical thinking. The entire internet must be very football savvy, shame i have been left out.

Which is 9 world cups ago. If a team hadn’t won a domestic cup in nine seasons I don’t think people would call it elusive then.

Don't forget he is better in baiting penalties, not getting cards after handling the ball with his hands and being obnoxious in the field.

Only two of those? Pray tell.

Only 1 player on the entire squad was even born the last time they won it. I'm sure it seems elusive to them.

Elusive for Messi possibly but Argentina have won it twice before.
