I like his open-play, but maybe hes not the guy for those scenarios.
His Penalty wasnt bad, it wasnt brilliant and it took a really good save, but it wasnt like he fluffed it or tried something cute, it just wasnt anything more than average, still took a remarkable save.
Argentina, you have other guys who are excellent at dead-ball situations, not just him. Maybe if it wasnt always the 'Messi show' you could have other talented players step up.
Either way, like I said, I cant stand Argentina so I'm cool with Iceland's success.

I can’t say how wrong this is about Messi. The man has scored an insane amount of free kicks over his career. Love the one game confirmation bias tho.
Argentina is an awful team and were an awful team in qualifying. They needed a god like performance from him just to get into the tournament.
France and Argentina will probably meet in the R.16 but neither are winning this tournament . Bad team chemistry on both sides
Iceland executes their game plan to peferfection! Brazil thanks you!
