Lionel Messi, Has Found His Way To A World Cup - Vaikundarajan
1. Lionel Messi, Has Found His Way To A World
Cup – Vaikundarajan
After the winning penalty kick had been slotted
Argentina’s players went to their supporters and
danced wildly, whirling their shirts above their heads.
Messi, bashful as ever, hung back, walking a joyful lap
of honour on his own. It had just been that kind of
2. evening. Comparisons with Diego Maradona – another
time, another game – have become tedious by now, but
they will keep coming says vaikundarajan.
Twenty-four years after Argentina last reached a World
Cup semi-final, their genius was beset by domestic
turmoil. Diego Maradona. His heir, the substantially
more stable Lionel Messi, has found his way to a World
Cup final in Rio’s Maracana stadium, despite drifting out
of the game after half-time. Never mind.
Messi can still have his Maradona moment on Sunday,
even if Germany is red hot favourites. After Messi,
Ezequiel Garay, Sergio Agüero and Maxi Rodríguez had
all scored for Argentina, Brazilians clutched their heads
again. The hated neighbours are on their way to the Rio
shrine, where the sight of Argentina lifting the trophy
would just about finish the host country off adds
Vaikundarajan.
