Leo Messi shows that even without scoring a goal, he is still the World Cup’s best player. He has been selfless, setting up others for their goals, even as his efforts have come so close, so very close.
Greece who threw every defender in the book could not stop Messi in the last 15 minutes even as Martin Demichelis and Martin Palermo got the goals.
Argentina are through and they meet Mexico in a repeat of their 2006 encounter which resulted in a 2-1 win. Greece limped out, their defensive scheme unraveled by a team that is playing by far the best all round football in this World Cup.
Don Diego could not have been any happier. He has so far proven all his naysayers wrong. Including yours truly.
