As Brazilians support Bosnia to upset their Argentinian rivals, Messi leads la Albiceleste to their most important 3 points.

 The streets in most Brazilian cities are covered with Neymar jerseys. The Brazilian talisman’s gear is to be seen everywhere, in bars near the Maracana, in Rio’s restaurants, hotel lobbies and balconies.

The rivalry is present whenever Argentina tries to take the spotlight. The Brazilians try to make la Albiceleste feel as far from home as it gets. However, Argentinians ranked as the second country in the world, without counting Brazil, for number of tickets purchased, 61000.

Stores have boxes and boxes of Neymar Jr. jerseys, rigorously #10

The game starts and so do the hostilities, especially from the stands. Brazilians whistle and boo every time Argentina touches the ball, which is not that many because Bosnia is playing a very good game. The many Argentinians answer with chants praising Messi.

Brazilian fans are famous for taking it too far

After the quick own-goal by Kolasinac, Bosnia-Herzegovina got their rhythm going and played quite a remarkable game. With AS Roma’s Pjanic dictating the tempo with his daring skills, and Dzeko’s dangerous runs, the game remained open and entertaining.

Until Messi took the ball, and after a lightning 1-2 slotted the ball in the corner, kissing the post and bulging the net. Beautiful and necessary, as Messi’s heartfelt celebration demonstrated.  Bosnia got a late goal with Ibisevic, which was deserved as a 2-0 would have been too harsh a sentence for their audacious approach.

Miralem Pjanic was Bosnia's best players, with Dzeko guarded well by Garay
