This was the first match I watched of Messi and till this day he still mesmerises me on the ball . 🐐

[@Entropy106]

[@samuelonuegbu4276]

Watching this again with a different mood and maturity from when i watched it live in 2005(teenage age). Messi was phenomenal. However the Nigerian team was a better team in the game(watch the full match). Was so proud of this SiaSia's boys of then. The night of this match still stays in my head strongly. RIP Promise Isaac, as well as my late father whom this match also reminds me of. Life is indeed a book for stories to be written on. Lesson to learn here... The support system you have would make or mar you in your life's journey. No MESSI today without good team support, which is the ONLY difference between Mikel Obi and Messi.

[@beetledune9264]

Good team this U20 yes,,but Messi also experience lost many WC if good team is your measurement.THE ONLY diff is Messi can make team better.

[@techniciansinc6048]

I guess inter miami and the Argentina 2022 wc team were big teams then

[@samuelonuegbu4276]

I guess you guys misunderstand the support I talk about. It's not about the player being in the team having a big name with stars. It's about the player having a player or two to understand and work well with. You could have a team without a big name, but would get to the top, take the case of Morocco at the Qatar 2022 world cup. The support system issue is what Victor Osimhen currently faces in the Super Eagles team, despite the star players in the team.

I was in high school when this WC took place and I was a huge Zidane-R9 fan at the time. One day my friend told me that he just witnessed the best player in the world. I thought that he was talking about Zizou or R9. Nope. He told me 'Lionel Messi' and I went 'who'. Lionel Messi, remember the name, he said. Almost 20 years since then, my friend was correct.

[@el.aye.bee.4477]

I watched this entire tournament on television and was at this game and this video encapsulation of the game does them no justice. Nigeria actually outplayed Argentina in this match but for their two lapses in defense. John Obi-Mikel put on a clinic himself as he was as leaving the Argentinians in his wake all night long. The Nigerians also were denied their own legitimate claims for a penalty. Messi was deserving of all of the praises bestowed upon him in this tournament. He singlehandedly destroyed ALL of Argentina's opponents, which included Colombia, Spain and Brazil (in that order) in the knockout stages, but make no mistake, John Obi-Mikel and Nigeria were brilliant in this tournament as well, especially when they really turned it on in the knockout phase.

It doesn't matter that you are from Nigeria. In this instance, I can say that your point of view is legitimate. Nigeria was robbed in this game.

[@fredrickelebenua629]

Which master class when he was awarded penalty in both halves of the match and Nigeria was not awarded any one. The same politics in many of his games. In 2022 World Cup Argentina was awarded penalty in almost every first half and Messi must play it. So his carrier to some extent is movie. He is now planning to go to Saudi Arabia league he and his supporters called Carmel League just to hunt CR 7. A challenge that made him and Barcelona FC to lobby almost all his career there.

[@dynamictech7229]

Don't mind the guy, That's why the guy cut out the part where Nigeria scored as though they didn't possess the ball at all. A match that was that competitive and he is trying to push a false narrative as though he was the only one that possessed the all all through and nigeria wasn't able to play anything. Did you see that nigera goal, that was what real masterclass looked like. The guy is a blatant racist. I was watching this his stupid video until he cut out the part where nigeria scored, anyone watching this video would think it was 2 : 0 so @Raheem Comps, if no one has told you this before, i am telling you point blank, YOU ARE A RACIST.
