It was all good just a week ago, wasn't it Lionel? You were arguably the best soccer player in world on the eve of putting a dagger through the heart of every casual American footy fan with a free kick that left even the most patriotic of pupils in awe. Six days later and you're nothing but an internet meme. It's 2016, and life comes at ya fast when you fail. I hope Mr. Messi was able to get a good look at the Curry family during the NBA Finals. At least that way he could be prepared for what awaited him online when he sent a penalty kick so high and wide right that it made Scott Norwood take a deep breathe and step off whatever ledge he's been standing on for the last 25 years. To the victor goes the spoils and to the loser goes the crying Jordan. All you had to do was beat the United States without drawing all the attention to yourself by scoring an eye opening goal at our expense and most American sports fans wouldn't even give a shit that some random Argentinian dude that missed the net by 100 yards with the game on the line. Instead you had to show uneducated futbol fans your best, and it made us feel comfortable enough to emasculate you on social media at your worst...
