Messi scored and assisted in Argentina's round of 16 victory, setting the record for most assists in World Cup history. However, his penalty miss against Egypt marked an unfortunate milestone as he became the first player to miss two penalties in a single World Cup tournament.
Despite the setback, Argentina secured their quarterfinals spot with a dramatic comeback, scoring three goals in the final 11 minutes plus stoppage time. Messi and Argentina will now face the winner of Switzerland vs. Colombia on Saturday at Kansas City Stadium. tbzikra.com
