There is a time where we think that we are all humans, where Panama can hold on to Argentina and fight fiercely.
And then, the clock strikes the 61st minute. Lionel Messi trots on the field to remind us that he comes from up there.
Messi has the beard of an experienced captain and helps Argentina bloom in an explosion of goals.
Four in 24 minutes.
Argentina can hold back a rowdy Panama, who played good soccer until Messi came on the pitch, but Messi just showed the Albiceleste the way.
It will be interesting to see how Messi will perform against better teams than Panama. Tonight we witnessed his wits and sprints in the box and perfect precision.
Messi scores with the cold blood of a seasoned veteran, but the real feat of the night is the free kick he plunges right under the bar. Just unbelievable.
Looks like the best player of the world found his shape again.
We are very thankful.
