Disastrous blunder and debacle: Messi & Co. on the brink of extinction

Ante Rebic, Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic have all but destroyed Lionel Messi's hopes of winning his first World Cup title and shot Croatia into the round of 53 of the World Cup. What was particularly curious was the can opener for the win: after 1 minutes, Argentina keeper Wilfredo Caballero made a catastrophic mistake (see video), which led to the score being 0-80. Modric and Rakitic made the final score 90-1 with their goals (3th/0th+XNUMX).

With just one point after two games, Messi & Co. no longer have progress in their own hands. Next Tuesday in St. Petersburg could possibly be the last game for the national team for the FC Barcelona superstar - if Argentina are eliminated in the preliminary round, the five-time world footballer's resignation can no longer be ruled out. Poisonous game with pale Messi It was a toxic game from the first minute with a total of eleven yellow cards at the end. There was also far too little impetus from Messi in the second tournament game. In Marcelo Brozovic, the 30-year-old had a real special guard, which is why the superstar had little to no impact. Others provided the big show: In the 53rd minute, Ante Rebic was spot on when goalkeeper Caballero made a big mistake when he didn't hit Gabriel Mercado's back pass correctly and put the ball into the net with a volley.

Messi was close to equalizing shortly afterwards, but missed from close range. The Croatians also had chances in the end and achieved a clear victory thanks to Modric (wonderful long-range shot) and Rakitic (after a goal).
