Fans are still celebrating the mesmerizing victory of Argentina over France in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Lionel Messi is still trending on Twitter, and every celebrity you know has already posted their congratulations on Instagram. It looks like the world stopped during those 150 minutes to see history in the making. The match was so close, it’s a miracle it didn’t give coaches heart attacks. Even before the match started, everybody predicted their favorite team to win. Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilageous-Alexander congratulated the winners in his style. Drake was also heavily involved in the match, having bet a million in Argentina. 

SGA had an insane game against Portland Blazers. It was extremely close, and they scored the last points at the buzzer. Although Drake lost the money as he betted the team win in regular time, he might be happy that someone he backed up won for a change.
