IT’S MESSI DAY! MESSI DAY! MESSI DAY! MESSI DAY! MESSI DAY! This is a WWE reference, and if you don’t get it, you are a sad person.
Anyway, Day 8 of the World Cup ends with Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi trying to win his first game of the tournament as Argentina face Croatia, but if they had a tough time with Iceland, this could be even tougher. Croatia have a fantastic squad, and their midfield is seriously good, maybe as good as any midfield in the World Cup.
One of those Croatian midfielders is Ivan Rakitic, who knows Messi very well and will play in the same area of the pitch as the Argentina captain.
