So far in this World Cup, it has truly been a massive test of mindset.

I’ve won— and I’ve also gone underwater; I’ve gotten my principal back— and watched my profits get spit out right in front of my eyes. But when you add it all up, I’m still net positive the whole time. Tonight, as I reach the final match, I decide not to calculate so much anymore. I put all the profits I’ve built up in advance entirely on Messi and Argentina.

It’s not because Spain isn’t strong—on the contrary. This Spain team might be the best overall team in the tournament. But in this World Cup, Messi has already brought me back twice when I was at my hardest moments. Others look at tactics, lineups, and data; this time, I’m looking at trust.

There’s only one final, and there’s no chance to add more later.

All the wins and losses before this, I’m putting them down for now. Messi has already brought me back twice. This time, I believe he isn’t just bringing me back to even—he’s bringing me straight to lift-off.

Final battle: all-in on Argentina.

Messi, good luck.🇦🇷#夏日创作营 @Gate 广场
