[Sports] The seas open for Argentina in the World Cup

[Kyro]

The albiceleste, although Messi missed a penalty, qualified for the round of 16 playing their best game. The path in the tournament is clear for him, with Australia as a rival in the round of 16. Poland also passes round.


The seas opened up for Argentina in the World Cup and it begins to find reasons to dream. Where before there was propaganda and hysteria, game and sanity finally appeared. Because Lionel Scaloni finally showed that this team can be something more than Messi, back to the torment of penalties. And because he has youngsters like Enzo Fernández and Julián Álvarez on his team, who play without the weight of history tied to their boots. Poland was no match for the albiceleste, who not only qualified as first in the group, but also envisions a grateful path, with Australia in the round of 16. In some hypothetical rooms his rival would be the winner of the Netherlands-United States. The Poles, meanwhile, finished the game hugging each other and jumping for joy in one of those contradictions that only football can offer. Despite his depressing game, and after Lewandowski and Messi collided their bodies -as if they both needed to frolic and face their careers in a setting like no other-, he passed the round thanks to the goal scored by Saudi Arabia that left Mexico out (1 -2) at sunset. And that Argentina was able to feed its tremendousness because of Wojciech Szczesny, a goalkeeper turned into a Lovecraftian monster, with tentacles instead of arms, and who was about to swallow all the Argentines who approached its seas. Messi, faced with such a presence, was overwhelmed by all the demons that had always awaited him at the penalty spot. There where he was most earthly throughout his career. The man from Rosario did not know how to save the opposition from the Polish goalkeeper. This one, who surely had studied Messi well, knew that the best way to disturb the ten in maximum penalties was to wait for him until the end. It is then when the striker looks for his safety corner, to his right. And up there Szczesny flew with his left hand turned into an iron plate.
