Footballs greatest goals - Lionel Messi v Mexico - 11th July 2007 (video)

I am in a subdued Mexico, as I write this. Mexico is subdued because Argentina knocked them out of the Copa America, 3 goals to 0. Lionel Messi's (contender to Maradonas throne) goal was surely one of the best goals ever last night as he cheekily clips the ball over the stranded Sanchez.

Is Messis goal better than Maradonas v England in 1986?

Argentina definitely fared better against Holland and will be hot favourites to brush aside Mexico in the final 16. Possession was shared 50-50 but they created more chances and looked more dangerous in the final third. Holland meanwhile have the same problem as England, able to keep the ball and look comfortable defensively but really lacking striking inspiration. Although for Holland they have their Talisman Robben to come back into the side to spice up their attacking line up. I am not so sure England have anyone to rejuvenate the team unless Rooney can get his fitness/sharpness back.
