It's cus his team did their fucking job for once and dragged the Mexican midfield to the side.
Summed up WC football pretty much. Just a slog in tight matches like this.
Lass dich nicht verarschen
Tbf we've seen Messi like this for Argentina even during his prime. And even in a bad match it's still Messi, at any moment he could pull off some wild moves that splits a defense wide open.
Literally what the TV commentators over here just said about him. Dude's a monster
Jesus. The laser precision while spinning and having that much coverage. Zero time to actually calculate except pure training.
Yes and Poland has to win vs Argentina.
I'd argue Messi's best shot was in 2014, when Argentina made it to extra times in the final after wasting several sure goal-scoring opportunities
A 0-0 draw between Poland and Argentina basically destroys any hope for Mexico
Messi already delivering, so all geniuses delivered today
What? A 0-0 Draw between Poland and Argentina means Mexico needs to beat Saudi Arabia by two goals. They haven't shown anything in this tournament to lead me to believe they can do that, but it's not exactly out of the realm of possibility.
