99, 6% of Iceland TV viewers’ watched Finnbogason writing history while the potential best player of all time missed a crucial penalty.

LL of Love, L of Lionel, and Messi missed a splendid opportunity to give an edge to the performance of the Argentineans versus the outstanding and unexpected performers of Iceland in the group D.

1. In surgical emotional procedure, Finnbogason melted Iceland’s hearts with his goal and just a couple of moments elapsed until when Thor Halldorsson autographed the “carta marina” with an historic save over Messi’s misplaced penalty-kick.

   Some say Messi was pressured by Ronaldo’s performance, another MVP, but we believe that it was another God of football, Maradona the one to be blamed with his political Cuban cigar, that distracted Messi from his objective. After all, Smoking and vaping is prohibited inside all 12 World Cup stadiums at the tournament. 12 is the number of years that Olaus Magnus took to produce the “carta marina - the first map of the Nordic countries to give details and place names”.

2. Sergio Aguero with a stunning first-half performance, looked like a 19 year’s old, while playing, rejuvenated and inspired, taking as much as 19 minutes to score with a left-footed strike. A performance which he could not extend in the second half, fact that added depth to the justification to the draw feeling like a defeat for Argentina, as tactically, Higuain should have had substituted Aguero that become a surplus to requirements in the remaining of the match.

   Argentina-Croatia in Nizhny and Iceland-Nigeria in Volgograd will be the upcoming fixtures that will gradually will support the final calculations and fate of the group D.

3. Messi was covered man-to-man by 350 000 Icelanders, the heritage Germanic ethnic group and nation, that could reminisce the 2014 final in Brazil, where Germany defeated Argentina. Guess it was another Madonna’s performance, Frozen!
   Messi is tirelessly trying to break the ice, in a conversation between himself and the ball, because four out of his last seven efforts for both Barcelona and Argentina have ended up with the same inefficiency. Keeping positivity levels very high!! Ronaldo, his twin brother in football scored a free-kick after 45 exasperating attempts. Messi had 11 shots throughout the match and if we ask Pogba, The Pythagoras of France, then he would say, see you in the Quarter-Finals…
4. Argentina 1-1 Iceland
   (S Agüero ’19 ; A Finnbogason ’23)
