Argentina believes Messi will bring home the World Cup

“When will you be in South America and see Argentina in the World Cup final,” said Guillot, wearing Emiliano Martinez’s goalkeeper jersey.

Leigh, wearing Messi’s shirt, said he had decided to wear his jersey partly as a precaution, given the historic bad blood on and off the pitch between England and Argentina.

Still, he said he is firmly behind Argentina, especially Messi, who has won everything but the game.

“We all expect him to win the World Cup, even some of the French fans we’ve talked to are half torn because it would be an amazing end to his career. I think he’s The greatest player of all time and deserves to win the World Cup,” Leahy said.

Puerto Rican couple Lily Oronoz and Antonio Sikola, both 51, were also in Argentina for the games.

“Our Latinos are very supportive,” Oronoz said. “Everyone for Messi, everyone for Argentina.”

“It’s for the passion, we’ve got more passion, and believe they will win,” Sikola said.
