With a free-scoring Lionel Messi in your team, it’s hard not to be in a singing mood. And the Argentina fans have been in full voice, with “La Cuarta Estrella” reverberating around the 2026 World Cup stadia during the tournament.

The Argentina anthem has gone viral online, with its punchy tune finding an audience online. But with lyrics packed full of interesting cultural, political, and historical references, what else does “La Cuarta Estrella” tell its listeners about Argentina as a nation?

GIVEMESPORT brings you everything you need to know about the song ‘La Cuarta Estrella’.

Argentina Fans’ Song ‘La Cuarta Estrella’ (The Fourth Star)

Action Images

The song’s title is firstly a mark of ambition for the Albiceleste. The players and fans are aiming for their fourth World Cup triumph and a “fourth star” to emblazon their blue and white shirts.

Set to the rhythm of “No me arrepiento de este amor” by famed Argentine singer Gilda, and written by Argentinian musician Palmito Musica, the deeply patriotic anthem serves as a worthy successor to Argentina’s viral 2022 World Cup song “Muchachos”.

The song weaves a story that covers the recent and distant history of Argentina, both as a nation and a football team. Chief among them, the latest World Cup triumph in 2022, as symbolised by Lionel Messi‘s inclusion in the lyrics.

Interestingly, the song also refers to the controversy of the 1994 World Cup, where captain Diego Maradona tested positive for five stimulant substances and was banned from playing in the tournament. Thirty-two years later, and there is a great circularity to that lyric. Maradona’s heartbreak occurred at the 1994 World Cup in the United States, and now Argentina have a great chance of avenging that tournament with victory in the same location.

Beyond the country’s footballing idols, there is a strong sense of national pride. “I am Argentinian from the cradle to the grave,” read the lyrics, implying the eternal love that the fans share for their country.

The lyrics also briefly mention the Malvinas, also known as the Falkland Islands, a territory that was contested during the 1982 war of the same name. References to their political and cultural history, and a willingness to dig up past controversies, highlight a heart-on-your-sleeve sensibility that unites the Argentinians in their common goal of achieving that coveted “Fourth Star”.

In every era of WWE, there are a handful of figures who carry more than just star power. These are the veterans who influence culture backstage, guiding the next generation, solving problems, and commanding a level of respect that goes beyond what fans see on television. Nobody in WWE history embodied that role more fully than The Undertaker.

For decades, The Deadman ruled not just in the ring, but in the locker room. Behind the scenes, he was the standard-bearer, a quiet enforcer of discipline, professionalism, and unity. Countless wrestlers have spoken about what it meant to earn The Undertaker’s respect, and many more looked to him as the unofficial leader when tensions ran high or when guidance was needed.

Since his retirement, all manner of fans and wrestlers have wondered about who could step into that role, as it’s not something WWE can just assign at random. A true locker room leader gradually earns it, over years of consistency, respect, and authenticity.

Now, according to Cody Rhodes, there is one man who has stepped into that space.

The Current Leader of the WWE Locker Room

Speaking during a recent episode of his podcast, What Do You Wanna Talk About? with special guest Jelly Roll, Rhodes reflected on some of the names who carry real weight behind the scenes in a post-Undertaker WWE.

It was during this conversation that he revealed a new figurehead in the locker room, one who commands a level of influence reminiscent of The Phenom himself.

“If there was a real problem, probably gonna go to Randy or Seth. If there was somebody that I’d tell you, Little Brodie might come to TV with me sometimes, I’ll tell Little Brodie, ‘Hey, go say hi to Randy.’ That’s the number one. Same way, my brother, one time I came to a WWE show back in the day, said, ‘Hey, you wanna go meet Undertaker?’ Not just do you wanna meet him, it’s part of the experience. You’re in his locker room.”

This recognition adds another layer to Orton’s remarkable two-decade journey, a career defined not only by championship success and elite performances in the ring, but by the quiet authority he now carries behind the curtain.

Once known as a rebellious prodigy with limitless talent and limited patience, Orton has evolved into one of WWE’s most respected veterans, a presence others clearly look to for guidance and leadership.

Even though The Undertaker has retired from in-ring competition, his presence does linger in WWE through his work on NXT, offering wisdom and direction to the company’s freshest faces. But his exit from the main roster left a real leadership gap, a need for someone current Superstars could still look to on the road, in the locker room, and at the highest level of the business.

With stars like Seth Rollins also being trusted figures backstage, Orton’s longevity and experience make him uniquely positioned to fill the void left by The Undertaker. It’s not a lightly made comparison; Orton has clearly grown into one of the most respected leaders backstage.

The Apex Predator is now the apex figure when it comes to guiding WWE’s future stars, as well as the here and now.

Tottenham could have a problem brewing amid reports one of their players may have fallen down the shortlist of another club. Spurs are in the midst of a record-breaking transfer window that has seen them spend more than they ever have, with their spend totaling more than £230million so far.

The North London club will continue to spend, backing Roberto De Zerbi to put together a European qualification attempt next season, and they can afford to do it.

But that doesn’t mean sales are not necessary, with the books needing to be balanced, even if just partially, while De Zerbi will also want to avoid having an overcrowded squad next season. As part of that equation, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is effectively for sale, but there may be a problem.

Juventus pushing to sign Vicario alternative

According to Sky Italy, Juventus are now advancing their interest in Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who was seen as the one name that was put ahead of Spurs stopper Vicario this summer.

According to the report, Juventus officials are meeting in Italy today, on Wednesday, to discuss a possible deal for Martinez, It’s reported the club officials will discuss whether a deal is possible and how much they are willing to pay to sign the World Cup keeper.

Crucially, it’s added that Vicario is seen as a secondary option, and that the Old Lady will ‘exhaust all options’ to sign Martinez first before moving on to the Spurs player.

Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali recently said: “Martinez is playing (at the World Cup) so we have to wait and see.

“He is a goalkeeper who interests us. However, I reiterate what I said earlier regarding Juventus: there could be many opportunities. We need to evaluate things carefully, especially right now, given that the valuations for some players are excessively high—unrealistic figures.”

Spurs relying on Vicario exit this summer

The problem for Tottenham is not only that they will miss out on a chance to land a transfer windfall this summer, with Vicario carrying an asking price of £20million, but Spurs also need to make room.

The North London club have snapped up Martin Dubravka to serve as the club’s new back-up, and they have given Antonin Kinsky a new contract, effectively making him a number one.

The reality is that Spurs no longer have a spot for Vicario, and they will be relying on a sale this summer. The keeper is said to want a move back to Italy this summer, and if Juventus are not interested, Vicario’s chances of finding a new club in Italy are likely to be drastically reduced. That could be a problem for the goalkeeper, and perhaps a bigger one for Spurs.
