Can Messi usher in his first World Cup goal in this game?

This is an important point that people pay attention to.

After the start of the game, Argentina was more active, and their attack group frequently put pressure on the South Korean goal.If Spain and England are known for their midfield and backcourt, then Argentina is known for their attacking group, and they play a smooth attack.

At the end of the first half, the Korean narrowed the point difference and kept hope.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. South Korea missed a golden opportunity in No. 13 minutes at the beginning of the second half!

Although Messi did not score in this game, at least two goals were directly related to him.Maradona said after the game: "We are getting better, Messi is very good, all he lacks is a goal!"

A reporter asked a difficult question: "Messi, Ronaldo, and Wang, which of the three do you think performed best and who is the strongest?"

The ball king raised his eyebrows and said: "Messi's performance is definitely better than Ronaldo, and he will get better and better. Wang's performance is surprising, but no one can guarantee that he can continue to maintain this state."

"When it comes to who is the strongest, of course Messi is the strongest. In my opinion, he is the best player in the world!"

The media interpreted what Maradona said: Wang Rui's current performance is better than Messi's, but it is impossible for Wang Rui to maintain his current state forever, and Messi will definitely surpass him.

It stands to reason that Wang Rui should be happy to be praised by the ball king, but he is not happy because Maradona is questioning him.

He decided to speak with facts.

It is the fact that broke the doubts of the ball king Maradona.

England's second opponent, Algeria, is not strong, but the European media generally believe that Algeria is very likely to have an upset and defeat the England team that is caught in "infighting".

However, it was not the United States that scored the first goal, but Slovenia. No.13 minutes, Radosavlevich passed the ball, Bielsa shot with his left foot 25 meters away from the goal, and the football drew a wonderful arc in the air!

The football flew into the net from the upper left corner of the goal, but Howard did not respond!
