There’s not much for fans of the United States Men’s National Team to celebrate in the club’s 0-4 loss to Argentina Tuesday in the Copa America Centenario.
Except maybe seeing an incredible goal from one of the best soccer players in the world today.
Lionel Messi and Argentina squared off against the U.S. Men’s National team in the Copa America semifinals Tuesday. During Argentina’s rout of the United States, Messi scored a beautiful goal off a free kick in the 31st minute. From outside the box, the Barcelona forward placed the ball in the top right hand corner of the net, just beyond the reach of U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan. The goal put Argentina up two nil over the U.S.
In vintage Messi style, he also surpassed Gabriel Batistuta to become Argentina’s leading all-time scorer with 55 goals.
Some say it’s Messi’s world and we’re all just living in it. With goals like this, it’s easy to see why.
