  WHAT HAPPENED?

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Argentina's X account clearly knew of Drake's wager and chose to send some shade the rapper's way. Of course, Drake has been engaged in a beef with Kendrick recently, although many fans and critics have made it clear that, just like with his bet, the Canadian has been defeated.

• WHAT ARGENTINA POSTED

  Argentina made reference to Kendrick's immediately iconic diss track 'Not Like Us' after full-time. The official AFA account posted a picture of Messi and his Argentina team-mates celebrating with the caption: "Not like us, not with us."
