Argentines celebrate World Cup final berth near 85-foot Messi statue in Patagonia

In a town in Patagonia, residents are celebrating Argentina's advancement to the World Cup final near an 85-foot statue of Lionel Messi. The recent match was framed by a long history of rivalry between the nations, which includes England's 1966 World Cup victory, the 1982 Falkland Islands war—referred to as the Islas Malvinas in Argentina—and Diego Maradona's iconic 1986 'Hand of God' goal.
