And regarding Messi's role, he will still be the focus for Argentina in this qualification and the 2026 World Cup is still a question regarding his participation.
They Argentine national team is in the form of their life as they're yet to lose a football game since last year's world cup.
Brazil is going to find it difficult to qualify for the World Cup 2026? This means you think that Brazil has doubt that they will make it into the top 6 of their group in the World Cup qualifiers? Even rank 7 could be enough as there are some play-off games depending on the various statistics of the cut-off teams in other groups. If that is what you think, it would mean that I think for the first time since their existence they would fail to qualify for the World Cup. With all due respect, but I doubt that anyone at Brazil is afraid to miss the qualification for this tournament. With so many starts from their group and the play-off backdoor, I am sure we will see Brazil there.
