​Argentina just booked their place in a second consecutive World Cup final and Dave Portnoy cannot believe it. Once again, the world champions made hard work of it. They fell behind to old rivals England in Miami but eventually turned the game around towards the end.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementGoals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez turned the game on its head, with Lionel Messi providing both assists.The world champions keep finding a way and Barstool Sports owner and founder Portnoy can’t quite believe it.The South American giants have made tough work of it against Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland and now England to get to this point.Still, they continue to find a way even with a 39-year-old Messi in their ranks. It has happened so many times now that it surely cannot be down to just luck alone.Watching on, Portnoy took to social media platform X to write: “Somebody needs to explain to me what happens in the last 25 minutes of Argentina’s games? They look like *** for 70 minutes and then it’s like they turn on a switch and then totally dominate.”Photo by Buda Mendes/Getty ImagesArgentina will now defend their World Cup crown against Spain on Sunday in New Jersey.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNot since the great Brazil sides of 1958 and 1962 has the World Cup been defended by a team. Italy also achieved that feat in 1934 and 1938.Spain currently look like the favourites heading into the game at the New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium), having made light work of France in the semi-finals.Yet, it’s impossible to write this Argentina team off. Time and time again, they have found a way to progress even when it looked like they were heading out.It really is difficult to explain, even if having perhaps the greatest soccer player in the history of the sport no doubt helps Argentina.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe wait goes on for England but Messi could well add yet another World Cup trophy to his name when many thought his story in this competition ended four years ago.Read more: 19-year-old picture emerges of a baby Lamine Yamal with Lionel Messi as they prepare for FIFA World Cup finalMusic ‘headliner’ and schedule for World Cup closing ceremony announced by FIFAThe FIFA rule Argentina broke with political banner after World Cup semi-final win over England
