They're basically the best team in the world right now, riding high after finally winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar — a tournament that felt like the whole country had been waiting decades for. A lot of that magic came from Lionel Messi, widely considered the greatest player ever, though he'll be 38 by the time the 2026 tournament rolls around, so the big question is whether he's still got enough in the tank to lead them. Watch to see if a new generation of younger stars can step up and carry some of the load, or if this team still leans entirely on one aging legend to work his magic.
