| The free kick was Messi was brilliant – but it might not have been as good as the one from Jhasmani Campos in the Bolivia-Chile game. That was seriously impressive. But poor old Bolivia – they conceded a 98th-minute penalty, and lost 2-1. | The free kick was Messi was brilliant – but it might not have been as good as the one from Jhasmani Campos in the Bolivia-Chile game.

| Well, Lionel Messi played less than half an hour – and he scored three goals and created one more. Brilliant, brilliant play from the best player in the world, and Argentina looked a different, and even more dangerous, team with him in. Panama did pretty well for about 60 minutes, but they crumbled badly – it didn’t help that they were forced to play with 10 men for an hour. But tonight was all about Messi. He’s good, isn’t he? | Well, Lionel Messi played less than half an hour – and he scored three goals and created one more.

Pretty similar to his first goal – Penedo had no chance. What a star he is. A total genius. Messi! | 88 min: He’s just phenomenal, isn’t he?

| 69 min: He’s only been on the pitch for about eight minutes, but Lionel Messi has made his mark! Panama couldn’t clear, and Henriquez smacked it against Higuain, but it fell perfectly for Messi, all alone, 15 yards out, and he just passed it beyond Penedo. Lovely finish, but Panama might be a touch unlucky there: that looked like handball against Higuain. | 69 min: He’s only been on the pitch for about eight minutes, but Lionel Messi has made his mark!
