Lionel Messi scored a hat trick against Ecuador to secure Argentina's place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia last Tuesday. Folks in Argentina are understandibly excited about that. One Argentine club, Sacachispas, was so excited they went out and did this:

Set the "days without a calamitous loss to a lesser side" counter back to zero.
And while you're at it, set the Wenger-O-Meter to Wenger OUT.
Watford. Tom Cleverley. It was so poetic and at the same time extremely dumb. In other words, Arsenal.
Manchester United and Liverpool will play tomorrow in what is sure to be a heated match between two teams that really don't like each other. As evidence of these feelings, I present Steven Gerrard and Marouane Fellaini:
Into these, Reds #MancMemories pic.twitter.com/t4iJU1wQeZ
Sweden are still in the running for the 2018 World Cup. They will have to win a playoff against another UEFA team but have been playing well as of late. Sweden's current squad would be a fun addition to the World Cup, but do you know what would be more fun?
Tuesday sure was wild, huh? CONCACAF CONCACAF’d the sh*t out of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers for two insane hours. There was a lot to take in. A lot. Wacky own goals, rampaging ball boys and hugging commentators. And USMNT World Cup dreams dashed. So like Hillary Clinton after her election loss, let’s revisit what the hell just happened.
Why is Guillermo Ochoa disliked so much? Is it his hairstyle? His success? Does he actually suck? While Guillermo Ochoa is considered a good keeper by most, it’s moments like Tuesday's own goal that get people infuriated and lead to questioning over whether he is the best option for Mexico.
Ever wondered what the most insane way to support your national team would look like? If yes, this article is for you. Peruvian fans have reportedly turned to sorcery and shamanism in order to guarantee qualification to the World Cup. Take a look at the unbelievable ritual going on here.
For those looking forward to turning on their television sets in late June to get a glimpse of the comforting quadrennial event that is the United States versus Ghana, you’ll be shocked to discover that the World Cup will no longer feature a clash of the old enemies. Tragically, a rivalry dating back to time immemorial has been scuppered.
I hope all of you someday find something that makes you as happy as swearing on television makes Jamie Carragher.
Forget lifting the Champions League trophy, forget putting on the England shirt, forget becoming extremely rich and famous, this is clearly the best moment of Jamie Carragher's life.
Jamie Carragher's reaction to being allowed to say 's**t' on live TV.
