Presently you will see, the World Cup Messi's going to bring, Maradona is a lot more noteworthy than Pele". Brasil, decime qué se siente (Brazil, disclose to me how it feels) was the tune on the lips of a huge number of Argentina fans that spilled over the outskirt for a look at their saints in the World Cup held in neighboring Brazil. Messi verged on satisfying the prediction recited to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising, however it was so close, yet so far at last for the chief and his Albiceleste colleagues.
Given the armband amid qualifying by new mentor Alejandro Sabella, Messi at long last finished his World Cup objective dry season 65 minutes into the gathering stage. The No.10 avoided through the Bosnia and Herzegovina resistance to put Argentina 2-0 ahead, and Sabella's men clutched take triumph in their opening diversion.
He was indeed the saint against Iran, scoring the victor in damage time with a fine whipped strike, and included two more for good measure in a 3-2 spine chiller to beat Nigeria and send the Albiceleste into the last 16 with a 100 percent record. And keeping in mind that he might not have discovered the net against Switzerland, he played in Angel Di Maria to choose the conflict profound into additional time.
Higuain's strike at an early stage chose the quarter-last to support Argentina over Belgium, driving Messi into his first-historically speaking last four conflict. There was no chance to get through the Netherlands protection in 120 minutes of tense football, yet Messi was on focus in the shoot-out and misses from Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder implied the Albiceleste walked on into the last. The fantasy all-South American last would not occur, in any case: rather than Brazil they would by and by meet Germany, who had dispatched the hosts 7-1 in Belo Horizonte the earlier day.
For the third competition running, Die Mannschaft had the proportion of their disappointed rivals. Messi indeed neglected to hit the objective and could just take a gander at the trophy from a remote place after Mario Gotze's additional time strike chosen matters in the Maracana. The Golden Ball grant for best player was sparse relief for a player who had offered everything to take the enormous prize home to Argentina.
Extraordinarily, after three World Cups Messi was all the while sitting tight for his first knockout objective, however he had another shot in Russia four years after the fact.
