Can “La Scaloneta” Do It Again? Argentina’s Road to the 2026 World Cup
In the first of our series on Latin American teams in the World Cup, we start with Argentina. It’s been over three years since that night in Lusail, but for many of us, the image of Messi finally lifting the trophy still feels like it happened yesterday. That win wasn't just a sporting achievement; it was a massive cultural moment for the entire Latin American community. But football moves fast. The "Muchachos" era was beautiful, but as we look toward the 2026 World Cup in North America, the pressure on Argentina is different. They aren't looking to earn glory, but to keep it.
Messi is the greatest, so was Diego
Argentina’s well-deserved victory in Qatar means that this South American nation has not only won two World Cups as a democratic country (a third under dictatorship), but each have been achieved thanks to the greatest player of his time, with a distinct personality and unique set of skills. No need to relegate the memory of the late Maradona to make way for Messi. They stand side by side in the pantheon of Argentina’s football Gods, argues Jimmy Burns, author of 'Maradona: The Hand of God' and 'Cristiano & Leo'

LATIN LONDONER #17: Juliano Fiori - rugby player
If anyone epitomises the uniqueness and strength that comes from being bi-cultural it is Juliano Fiori. Not only is he a West Londoner who is playing rugby for Brazil in the Olympics, but to do so, he’s had to juggle a full time job as head of humanitarian affairs at charity Save the Children with training. His Brazilian father, Jorge, arrived in the UK as a poitical refugee in the early seventies, with his then girlfriend, Juliano’s mother, both narrowly escaping the clutches of PInoochet and sealing Juliano’s identity as a British-Latino. "Playing for Brazil is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I never dreamed I would get,” says Juliano. “I was raised here in London but my heart has always been with Brazil.”
Alfredo Di Stéfano (1926-2014)
