Surprised no one has mentioned Messi's goal from last night

You think that touch off his thigh off a ball played over his shoulder while he was running at full pace was run of the mill?

Seriously? New hobby, I'm afraid.

No, it was obviously excellent, but standard Messi stuff and not something that you couldn't imagine, say, Giroud, doing (obviously without the burst of pace to reach it or immediately following it).

The second touch, on the other hand, was the kind of thing that divides geniuses from mere great players, imo.

I am amazed we have touched on the goal, correctly applauding LM for the superb play, yet no person has felt the need to highlight the pass of the entire World Cup to date which created the chance.

Lovely pass - I preferred the one all along the ground for Di Maria (and the little one two with Messi beforehand). Di Maria didn't even need to break his side. Also loved the suicidal slide in his own area which fortunately he timed just right
