Honestly..I'm happy with the way things are turning out for my country, Nigeria.


Speaking of argentina, and with nothing but good wishes for messi, I watched him against Iceland and I was disappointed. Same thing against Croatia. With the way he has been lazy on the pitch, I just agreed that he doesn't deserve the trophy. Doesn't have leadership qualities like Ronaldo in this world cup. The difference between ronaldo and messi is that messi is never quiet, his influence is seen from the very first minute, but it feels ronaldo is the one wearing Messi's boots in this tournament.


I'm just happy to see Nigeria beat Iceland, I'd like them to best Argentina too so messi can go home and rest for next season..


I'm not taking back my word about Argentina tho. Argentina have not played as a team and messi hasn't stood out after 2 matches. 1 point from a possible 6 with all the names in that Argentine side, there's no excuse!


Messi is the best player but Ronaldo is miles above him in the tournament, it's glaring.

Coutinho has become Neymar's sidekick.
So far Neymar hasn't done well, then Coutinho steps up and is lifting the team.
Probably Neymar might score a hattrick in the quarter finals and then everything will be alright again!

My point

Against Iceland Messi had 3 or 4 players around him and nobody could help out.

Against Croatia Messi became despondent right from the singing of the anthems.

He looked to his left and right and saw Meza, Salvio, Caballero, Tagglifico, Acuna, Enzo Perez.
That was the team selected to play world class Croatia!!

He looked to the bench and saw De Maria, Banega, Dybala, Biglia, Fazio, and Rojo.

I bet Messi probably did want to play that match.

Sampaoli should be sacked, bundled to argentina and charged with treason.
