“I also had a dream that Argentina won the World Cup, 5-0 against the Netherlands after they got into the final. Maybe this would be for 2026!
As a Chinese immigrant and a Messi fan living in Brooklyn with my Salvadoran husband (who’s a Real Madrid fan and has a love/hate relationship with Messi) and our 2 mixed race children, the yearning for belonging is tremendous and complex. The fact that you could hope and dream about your national team could one day win the World Cup bears so much emotion and pride that I could never have with the Chinese men’s soccer team. Now that Messi and team have done it, I am SOOOO happy for you and Argentina! We screamed so hard when they won!!!
Nevertheless, I really love how you told yours and Messi story at this moment in the way you did. Nevertheless, this story is for your abuela as much as it is for you. 💙💙💙”
