The next day…

[Match 2: Nigeria vs Argentina]
[Venue: SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, USA]
[Date: July 14th, 2026]
[Kick-off: 20:00 local time]
[Referee: Danny Makkelie (Netherlands)]
Over 78,000 football fans were in attendance at the SoFi Stadium.
They were here to witness history be made.
The roof vibrated with raw energy, green jerseys clashing against seemingly endless waves of sky blue. The sky blue waves dominated most of the stadium, as tens of thousands of fans pulled out for Messi and Argentina in numbers.
The weather inside was cool, outside was heatwaves, while the atmosphere inside was football fire.
Fans dubbed the game the Old Giants vs the New Blood.
Most predicted it to be a rout, Argentina blowing Nigeria out of the water.
Argentina, reigning champions, world-respected, war-tested. Lionel Messi, still magic. Alvarez, Enzo, Mac Allister, heirs apparent.
