He is obviously expected to be named in Lionel Scaloni's squad, which is set to be unveiled on Monday. The Albiceleste will open their campaign against Saudi Arabia on November 22, before facing Mexico and Poland days later in Group C.

Ahead of the Qatar showpiece, Roccuzzo is seemingly getting ready, after she uploaded a video showing Argentina's jerseys. The jerseys have the number 10 on them - Messi's number. One can expect that she will also make the journey to Qatar to support her husband.

Messi has been in imperious form this season at Paris Saint-Germain, after initially struggling to settle in last season. He has already scored 7 goals and supplied 10 assists in Ligue 1 alone.

EA Sports predicts Mundial winner

Sports Brief had earlier reported that popular video game company EA Sports has boldly predicted that Argentina will win the World Cup. The company arrived at that conclusion after conducting a simulation using its latest version of FIFA 23.

Argentina fans have every reason to take this as the gospel truth, because EA Sports correctly predicted the winners of the past three editions. The company settled for a Spain win in 2010, a German triumph in 2014 and French heroics four years ago in Russia.

The simulation shows that Argentina will play Brazil in the final this year. If this happens, it will be a repeat of the 2021 Copa America final, where the former won to give Messi his first international trophy.
