President Donald Trump is being blamed for Argentina’s defeat in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Spain. Netizens started pointing out a pattern after Argentina’s loss. The fans have labeled it the “Trump Sports Curse”. So, without any further delay, let’s take a look at the reason behind it.
Did Argentina lose the FIFA World Cup 2026 final because of the Trump Sports Curse?
President Donald Trump’s comments about Lionel Messi before Argentina’s loss to Spain in the World Cup Final seem to have reignited questions about whether or not his presence curses the teams he supports. The speculations began after Trump offered his support to Lionel Messi and Argentina. In a pre-recorded interview with Fox’s Jenny Taft that aired before the game, Trump didn’t state who he wanted to win but made friendly remarks about the Argentinian superstar. He was quoted as saying:
“I thought about it a lot. I knew that was a question. I hate to get involved, even though politically, it doesn’t matter so much. I would say that it’s hard to bet against Messi…I won’t pick sides. I just think it’s very hard to bet against Messi. He’s great.”
