Sergio Romero Saves The Day

Argentina don't owe it to Messi this time, they owe it all to Sergio Romero. Who would've thought that this man, about whom critics were all over saying he lacked the skill, would actually pave the way for Argentina for the World cup 2014 trophy. Forget the 90 minutes, forget the two halves of additional time, the penalty shootout is what had all the oomph.

Van Persie Or Messi? Who's it gonna be?

Time ticks away and an hour remains till the match between Argentina and Netherlands. The Dutch led by Robin Van Persie and with stars like Arjen Robben and Sneijder to pump in the attack, Argentina's defense has got to have a hard time. Great miracles are expected of the 27 years old Argentinian star Lionel Messi who has won the Ballon d'Or thrice, but Messi is sure to miss Angel di Maria who was ruled out because of a thigh injury in the last match. Messi often relied on di Maria for attacks and in the quarterfinal it was him who took the pass off Messi and tried to score but it took a deflection and became an assist for Gonzalez Higuain who transformed it into a goal.
