Argentina outclasses Poland despite Lionel Messi’s penalty miss as both teams still book their places in the knockout stages of the World Cup. FIFAWorldCup
Argentines renewed their hopes in the country’s national soccer team after it defeated Poland, 2-0, on Wednesday, November 30 , booking a place for the team led by star Lionel Messi in the knockout stages of the World Cup.
“We recovered from Arabia and after these two great games, we got excited again!” Uriel Vieitez, 19, told Reuters as he celebrated on the streets of the capital Buenos Aires wearing an Argentina shirt and hat minutes after Argentina’s victory. The winner of that match will then play the winner between the Netherlands and the United States in the quarterfinals.
Argentina took the lead just one minute into the second half when Mac Allister got on the end of Nahuel Molina’s cross and, despite making weak contact, he saw his shot creep over the line with Polish keeper Wojciech Szczesny beaten. Despite the miss, Messi ran the show for Argentina in a match where the two skippers represented Barcelona’s past and present.
“If our team had a higher percentage of possession, if Messi played with us and Lewandowski played with Argentina, he would score five goals… Messi didn’t score, did he?”
