Irish mixed martial artist, former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor, has once again caught the world's attention with his bold bet. This time he decided to try his luck in football, betting 365 thousand pounds on the victory of the Argentine national team at the Copa America.

Conor McGregor supports Argentina

McGregor, known for his risky bets, did not hide his support for the Argentine team. He wrote on his Twitter:

"The world champions, @Argentina, aim to repeat my path by becoming champions of champions by lifting the Copa America trophy. The original champion of champions has your back!"

The Argentina national team, led by Lionel Messi, has already reached the playoffs of the tournament, where they have to play against Ecuador. If the Argentinians pass this stage, then in the final they can meet with other favorites of the tournament - Uruguay or Brazil.

Messi as the key to victory

Lionel Messi, who recently led his team to victory in the World Cup, has another chance to prove his prowess on the international stage. His performance on the pitch will be crucial to Argentina's success. Messi has repeatedly demonstrated that he is capable of leading his team to great victories, and this tournament will be no exception.

McGregor and his rates

This is not the first time that Conor McGregor has risked large amounts of money on sporting events. It was previously reported that he bet 60,000 pounds on the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo will become the top scorer at Euro 2024. Such confidence in his bets shows that McGregor is not afraid to take risks and believes in his intuition.

Argentina's way to the final

Argentina have already shown their strength in the group stage with several convincing victories. Now their task is to overcome Ecuador in the playoffs. This match will be an important test for the team, because at stake is the opportunity to meet the strongest opponents in the tournament.

Can McGregor win a million?

If Argentina can indeed lift the Copa América trophy, Conor McGregor will receive a significant reward of one million pounds. This will be further proof that his bets can be not only risky, but also extremely profitable. However, everything depends on the performance of Lionel Messi and his team.

Results and forecasts

The support of such a famous athlete as Conor McGregor can be an additional incentive for the Argentine national team. Their path to the final will not be easy, but with players like Messi, anything is possible. Fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the decisive matches that will decide the fate of the Copa America.
