The much hoped for USA upset victory over Argentina never materialised.
USA were outclassed 4 – 0 . Messi scored the second goal off a brilliant free kick and became Argentina’s all-time top goalscorer – Gabriel Batistuta’s record of 54 goals.
Messi looks determined to lift his first major trophy with Argentina after Argentina’s disappointing World Cup final loss to Germany.
For USA it’s back to the drawing board .
