Inter Miami's super star, Lionel Messi, celebrates his 37th birthday today, June 24th!

He's currently in New Jersey with his fellow countrymen for Copa America and will take on Chile at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford Tuesday night at 9 p.m.

And Messi has left open the door for him to help Argentina defend their World Cup title in 2026.

"It depends on how I feel, how I am physically and being realistic with myself. And to know if I am up to the task of being able to compete and help the colleagues next to me," Messi said on June 7.

"There's a while left, and I don't know how I'm going to be at that moment."

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner will not represent Argentina in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics later this summer due to playing in Copa America and the Leagues Cup tournament coming up for his MLS squad Inter Miami.
