If anyone else had scored that goal would it really have been described as a 'moment of magic' ?

Nothing special, was it?

Decent enough, but you have to fit into BBC's 'Tragic' Messi story that preceded the match.
Aussies well organised, but alas it's making for a dull game, after seeing the open play between Holland & the US earlier.

Only Rolando.. nope it was an 'ok' goal. You'd have though he'd done an Maradona '86.

Good job Messi didnt score than second one, they'd be going on about how the keep was intimidated or something.

Check the replay, Messi glanced at him causing the keeper to lose concentration and muck it up.

Pure genius from Messi. That's how good he is, just needs to look at an oponant to create a goal. πŸ˜‰

Maybe he didn't even look at him. Danny Murphy was banging on about how Messi creates "little pictures in his mind" so maybe he just needs to think to cause an opposition mistake!

That was so worthy of a goal, reminded me of Maradona himself. Shame but Aussies could get it.

Danny Murphy earlier saying they should take Messi off to protect him. Once again acting like and assuming the game was done and dusted

In football it never is until the final whistle.
