Buenos Aires, March 4 (NA) – Sports journalist Horacio Pagani launched a striking theory during a television program that quickly generated surprise among his panel colleagues and repercussion on social networks. In the middle of the debate on the organization of the next Finalissima 2026, which will pit the Argentine Selection against Spain, Pagani maintained that the international conflict between the United States and Iran would be related to the choice of venue for the match, which had been designated in Qatar. "The United States handles all issues. The invasion or attack on Iran was so that the match is played in Miami," he affirmed, according to statements to which the Argentine News Agency had access. The phrase caused immediate confusion in the studio. Some panelists reacted with surprise and rejected the idea raised by the journalist, while another member of the program added: "I find it a bit strong." Pagani's comment quickly went viral on social networks, where users shared the clip from the show and debated the journalist's particular interpretation of international politics and football.
