It was difficult to believe. But the Croatia team proved all naysayers wrong that Argentina can be beaten silly.
The Croatians did just that on Thursday when they humbled the Lionel Messi-captained Argentina team 3-0 in an encounter that made many Argentina fans to weep. Those who could not cry simply remained cold when the Croatians opened the flood gate of goals that made them carry the day.
Both countries were contending for positions in the Group D where Nigeria, a proud African country had earlier lost to Croatia in a 2-0 victory.
At the end of the 90 minutes match with Argentina, Messi was not only devastated but walked away shamefully.
