Argentina is in the World Cup final for the second consecutive tournament and is looking to win its fourth star in history on Sunday night (July 19, 10:00 p.m.) in New York to win back-to-back titles and claim the fourth star in its history.

The “Albiceleste” posted a rousing video on its social media account, set to Bill Contad’s song “Going the Distance” from the movie Rocky.

“Here comes the defending champion,” the caption read, and the video was filled with references to Argentina’s present and past. “Here comes the team defending the title. The team of five consecutive finals. The one they tried to knock down a thousand times, but it always got back up,” she added, continuing:

“We’re coming with the best player on the planet,” he emphasizes, accompanied by a shot of Messi singing the national anthem: “The one who never gives up and dances with his feet like no one else in the world,” and then goes on to mention other Argentine players.

At the end of the video is the message that says it all: “Ladies and gentlemen, here we come, and we’re going for it all.”
