Argentina's Lionel Messi is hungry to end his time on the national team with a World Cup title and that bodes well for those tuning into his match Tuesday.
Lionel Messi of Argentina during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group C match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia at Lusail Stadium on November 22, 2022 in Lusail City, Qatar.back into its quarterfinal with Argentina before the South Americans prevailed in a penalty shootout, one of his strikes coming from perhaps the most innovative free-kick you’ll ever see.
Messi didn’t copy so many of his teammates in immediately turning to taunt the Dutch once the winning penalty went in on Friday, but he wasn’t holding back. He strode toward the Netherlands bench at the end and barked at head coach Louis van Gaal, assistant Edgar Davids and other members of the Netherlands back-up staff.
He was also peeved by the refereeing of Spanish official Mateu Lahoz, and while it is unlikely FIFA would ban him for the semifinal, the governing body’s executives were taking another look at his comments on Monday. Messi lives a quiet life, enjoys being around his family and rarely gets involved in this side of the soccer soap opera. When he does, it is usually enough to help him find a little extra sparkle.
