00:00Ayer, Messi, I gotta say, you know me, my friends.
00:04I have been very critical of Lionel Messi for a long time,
00:07but yesterday, there was no doubt that he's just a whole level above from everyone else.
00:15Siendo yo un viejito, siendo yo un onk,
00:17to see someone 38 years old to do that type of performance in a World Cup,
00:21it was just impressive.
00:22I take my hat off to Messi and the Argentinian team
00:25because they had such a good game management.
00:27It was impressive to see how they gave up the ball in the right moment of the game,
00:31and it was clear that they were managing the effort,
00:35managing all of the passing of the ball,
00:38and it was great to see how they were managing to do that 3-0 over Algeria.
00:43Now, let's not get crazy. Let's not get ahead of it.
00:45Algeria is a modest team,
00:47although they were able to put Argentina in trouble more than once during the game,
00:51and also, they were controlling the ball.
00:54Actually, they had more possession than the Argentinian team,
00:57it was very important, very, very incredible.
00:59But now Messi is sitting nicely at the top of the charts of the top scorers of the World Cup,
01:05tied with middle-left Klose,
01:07and with a lot more games ahead of him.
01:10So, most likely,
01:12Lionel Messi will be the lone leader of the World Cup scorers.
01:16So, it was very impressive to see the hat-trick that he put together.
01:21Let's see what the FIFA official site said.
01:24Lionel Messi has crossed one of the few remaining frontiers,
01:27turning fiction into reality, into the process.
01:29This was a movie.
01:30Argentina began the defense of their crown with the authority of reigning champions.
01:35La Albi Celeste was a party yesterday,
01:38and all around the country,
01:39from Kansas City all the way to LA,
01:41all the way to New York.
01:43Argentinians were celebrating,
01:44and they were very, very happy.
01:46We send a congratulations to all of them,
01:48and there's so much more for them ahead.
01:50I think they're going to have a great tournament,
01:52but it's going to be tough.
01:52It's going to be hard to repeat the championship.
01:55There's so many good teams,
01:56and today, one of those teams, Portugal,
01:58que me puse la de Portugal,
02:00y me fallaron.
02:01They did not win.
02:02You know, it was clear that Congo wanted to win this game.
02:06They played so hard,
02:07but that header allowed them to get at least one point,
02:10and Portugal now,
02:12not the start that they were hoping,
02:14and, you know,
02:15now we have Cristiano Ronaldo way behind
02:18in the debate of who of the two veterans
02:20are going to have the best World Cup.
02:22Now Messi is three goals ahead,
02:23and most likely he will be the best player
02:27of the two in this World Cup.
