Boss, hold on tight because the 2026 World Cup is starting and our boys, the footballers, are already in the fever of predictions. Dan Alexa and Gabi Tamaș, on that show "Fiertzi pe Mondial" on AntenaPLAY, said who they want to see lifting the cup. And, bro, there's a big difference between them, like between my BMW and a Lăstun.

Dan Alexa, that guy who gives his opinion as if he were the coach of Steaua, said clearly: Argentina. For Messi and for the Argentine people. Now, let's be serious, Messi is God on the field, no joke. But to root for a country because "the people are different"? Man, the Romanian people are different too, but nobody sees us winning the World Cup. He, Alexa, is right in a way: Messi is the only one who can take Argentina to the final.

Gabi Tamaș, on the other hand, is more chill. He says he doesn't root for anyone, that he wants a show and a team that hasn't won the Cup before to win. Meaning he wants a surprise, bro. Like when you win the lottery, but without luck. He's the type of guy who goes to the terrace and says "let's see, you'll see." But let's be realistic: who do you think can pull off the upset? Maybe Canada or Mexico, since they're hosts? Or some small national team, like Morocco, like they did a few years ago? I personally would like to see a final with a new team, but honestly, Argentina or Brazil are favorites.

That show starts on June 12, on AntenaPLAY, and it will be on every day during the Championship. They've gathered a crew: Tamaș, Alexa, Răzvan Simion, Dani Oțil, Cătălin Rizea, Florin Ristei. Exactly what you need: football, controversies, and lots of chatter. Like at Fane's terrace, but with a microphone.

Now, let me tell you what this World Cup means. It's the first time in history with 48 teams, 104 matches, and three host countries: USA, Canada, and Mexico. Man, total madness! Instead of playing on one continent, they play on three. And Romania? We watch, as usual. Although we could have been there if those guys from Kosovo hadn't beaten us. But that's it, bro, we live with the hope that we'll qualify for the next one.

I find Tamaș's message amusing: "Let someone who hasn't won before win." I also want someone to win, but who? Maybe the Netherlands, who lost three finals? Or England, who won it once, but 60 years ago? I say Argentina or Brazil are safe, but if a surprise comes out, I swear I'll go to Fane and drink a beer in Tamaș's honor. Come on, I'm off to explain to Mioara why I have no money for gas, after I bet on Argentina.
