July 10th 2024.
The recent incident involving Drake and his failed bet has once again reminded us that he will never truly find peace. This time, the source of his frustration was a $300,000 bet on his home country, Canada, to win against powerhouse Argentina in the Copa America semifinal. However, things did not go as planned for Drake as Argentina emerged victorious with a 2-0 score, thanks to goals from the legendary Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez. This defeat not only cost Drake a hefty amount of money but also brought him further embarrassment.
To add insult to injury, the official social media account of the Argentina national team took a dig at Drake by posting a photo of Messi celebrating with his teammates, captioned: "Not like us, not with us." The use of the Argentinian flag at the end of the statement only emphasized their superiority over Canada. This was not the first time that Drake had been mocked by fellow musicians, as just a few days ago on the Fourth of July, Kendrick Lamar also took a jibe at him during his performance.
But for Argentina, this win puts them in a strong position to potentially win their third consecutive major championship title, a feat that only Spain has achieved before. On the other hand, Spain's young prodigy, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, has been making waves in the Copa Euro tournament and could potentially face Argentina in the final if both teams continue their winning streak. Messi, who has been a part of the Argentina national team for over a decade, expressed his admiration for the team's resilience and determination in reaching another final.
But before they can think about the final, Argentina will face the winner of the match between Colombia and Uruguay, while Canada will battle for third place against the loser. Messi's goal against Canada also brings him closer to the record for the most goals scored in international competition, currently held by Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo. "We have to enjoy every moment of what we're living," Messi stated, acknowledging that these could be his last battles on the international stage. He also mentioned the challenges of playing in Copa America, with matches being held in different stadiums across the United States.
In the end, while Drake may have lost a significant amount of money, he can take solace in the fact that he witnessed and supported some of the best football players in the world. And who knows, with the way things are going, we might even see a face-off between two young stars, Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi, in the final. Football fans can only hope that the scriptwriters make it happen.
