BTW, with this Messi performance, I have no idea how Sampaoli can keep his head up. He should just resign. It shouldn't take a superman for Argentina to qualify. There is no reason for Argentina to score only 16 goals in 17 games (less than almost all other teams).

I don't want Messi's last WC (last meaningful one anyway) to go to shit because this idiot can't figure out his formation or squad. That's exactly what's gonna happen though. Fucking shame.
Sampaoli came in with only a few games left. This wasn't entirely his fault.

However, it has basically been Messi pulling the team up through sheer passion and skills.

As Mahdi said once, if Messi played on our TM, we would win the World Cup with CQ and our defense.

Copenhagen-Denmark
Panama 2-1 Costa Rica
Once again football showed to be the biggest "religion" world wide.
Making the whole world either cry or celebrate.
IMO this mach must be the most passionant game of this round by far.

Costa Rica scores and makes Panama's WC dreams crash.
Mean while US scores a crazy own-goal against T&T and makes Panama belive.

Panama "scores" a shadow goal.
Ball never cross the line, but should be a 100% penalty for Panama.
Now Panama only needs 1 goal to change 5th position with 3rd.

Panama score a 88th min winner and make the stadium explode.
All stadium want Panama to the world cup. Even an elder lady makes it as a pitch invader. :crutch:
Final score Panama 2-1 as they make it for the first time ever to the world cup.

A side story is that US will complain to FIFA about the shadow goal of Panama.
They want a ban on the ref and a rematch of PAN v CRC.
Rematch has happend before with an african WC Q match.
It remains in the unknown, if US will complain and how FIFA will react.
For now Panama are in the world cup. Enjoy the crazy match highlights here:
