Understand this market
This market is asking one simple thing: will Messi actually step onto the pitch in at least one World Cup match for Argentina in 2026? A Yes means he physically plays — even for one minute as a substitute counts. A No means he doesn't appear at all, whether because of injury, being left off the squad, retirement, or any other reason that keeps him off the field.
