<p>Drake placed an extraordinary bet earlier this week, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/drake-cheeky-lionel-messi-quip-rap-superstar-300k-bet-canada-upset-argentina-copa-america-semi-finals/blt5e77441e4cf6f5e2#csbfc0efd59a096df3" target="_blank">as he revealed he had placed a $300k wager on Canada</a>. Had they been victorious, he would have pocketed $2.8m (£2m), but Argentina won 2-0 thanks to goals from Julian Alvarez and Lionel Messi. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>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. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>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."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not like us, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬 🇦🇷 <a href="https://t.co/Zoa4OTbgnK">pic.twitter.com/Zoa4OTbgnK</a></p>— Selección Argentina in English (@AFASeleccionEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/AFASeleccionEN/status/1810857896940290442?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 10, 2024</a></blockquote>
