Messi and Argentina Delayed on Way to World Cup Final

Lionel Messi and his team were to fly to New York on July 16 to prepare for the World Cup final against Spain.

Their flight was delayed due to heavy rain and strong thunderstorms.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi celebrated after beating England in the semifinal.

The whole Argentina team was stuck until the airport in Atlanta started working again.

The delay hurt Argentina's plans for the final. They got to New York on July 17, which means they had very little time to train before the final.

A flight from Atlanta usually takes two hours and 20 minutes.

Messi has had a great World Cup, scoring eight goals so far.

Spain is already in New Jersey, getting ready for the final after beating France 2-0.
