The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, made headlines for a curious reason.

The leader of the South American nation was so convinced of his compatriots' victory in the World Cup final against the Spanish that he instructed his aides to prepare a message in advance announcing a public holiday in the country.

A post on the social media platform X, which was initially published and later forgotten to be deleted, became a curiosity, as Argentina lost 0-1 to the Europeans.

Later, the error was corrected, but internet users managed to gather all the evidence.
