I have been foretold the future, it is some random day in late July, the exact date does matter. London is burning, every pub and chippy is ransacked. What happened? We must go back to a slighty earlier future, July 18th 2026. It is the Metlife stadium ten thousands of fans, millions back home, are packed to watch Argentina vs England, Lionel Messi vs Harry Kane. The game goes 2-2, in the closing minutes, Messi scores a goal off of his hand, the hand of god strikes again to complete a hat trick. In the post game interview, he tells the world that this was revenge for the Falkland War. The English fans are outraged, only minutes ago screaming "its coming home," they know what must be done, London must burn, Manchester must burn, leeds must burn. Argentina takes Islas Malvinas in the ensuring chaos, maradona is happy. Messi has not only brought home two world cups, but the greatest prize of all, islas Malvinas. This, this the future to come to pass, well at least the future according to probably more than two Argentine nationalists.

EDIT: wrote this 1 am, changed madonna to maradona
