The Argentinean team playing for the World Cup is bringing with it a larger-than-life photo of the players with Pope Francis, at a meeting in the Vatican last year.
The team hopes that the picture showing Lionel Messi and teammates with the Holy Father will "give a message of hope prior to the beginning of the World Cup," reported the publication Diario Castellanos, which posted an image of the giant photo on Twitter:
