#4 Inspired
After the match against Croatia, Argentina looked like a broken team. Even during the game, the body language of Lionel Messi looked like someone who had no interest in playing that particular game.
While the other LM10 on the pitch was running the show for Croatia, Messi was a forlorn figure that didn’t even want to try and weave some magic for his nation.
However, against Nigeria, he looked inspired – and so did the entire Argentina team. Despite the fact that the South American nation didn’t look very cohesive in the second half, they managed to scrape a win and Messi himself seemed to be leading from the front to help his team-mates be inspired.
Their eventual victory against the African side not only helped them reach the round of 16 but also be inspired – and that could take them all the way.
