Then on Thursday, Croatia stunned Argentina with a 3-0 victory, and now Messi and team are on the brink of elimination.

Naturally, Messi was the topic of many of the tweets buzzing around after the game. Some felt he was overrated, but the great player had many defenders. Said one: "It always annoys me seeing people mock Messi. You don't love football if you don't love Messi. Simple." But another noted that his World Cup performance hasn't lived up to his actions with his regular team, saying, "Messi is a goat when playing for Barcelona but a sheep when playing for Argentina."
