Argentine football made history again, and this time not even a Brazilian could contain the emotion. Yes, you read that right: Rivaldo, one of the greatest legends of Brazilian football, took to social media to applaud the Argentine National Team after their thrilling win over Egypt in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.
Here’s how it went: La Scaloneta was struggling, the Egyptians had taken the lead, and the clock was ticking down. But then came the grit, that extra something our team has, and in a heart-stopping finish, they turned the result around. Goal, madness, and a ticket to the quarterfinals.
Rivaldo, who knows a thing or two about football, couldn’t stay silent. On his Twitter account, he wrote: «What guts.» Just like that, in all caps. Praise from someone who knows what it takes to win a World Cup, and from a classic rival, is priceless.
The Brazilian’s post was flooded with comments from Argentine fans, delighted that even rivals recognize the mettle of Messi and company. And yes, the captain was once again a standout, but the credit goes to the entire team, which never gives up.
Meanwhile, in Argentina, football and hope are in the air. La Scaloneta marches on, with the support of an entire country and now even the respect of Brazilian legends. Can you ask for more?
