After an opening performance from Argentina which ranged from the outstanding (Lionel Messi) to the anonymous (Ángel Di María) by way of the pity-inducing (Jonás Gutiérrez), I’ve done a write-up of the reaction in Argentina for ESPN Soccernet. You can read it here.
It was great to see Messi have such a good game. Hopefully Argentine supporters will finally realise how lucky they are to have this absolute gem of a player, and get 100% behind him.
