anti-colonial stance
easier this group
Iceland and Croatia both
fragments of historic wholes
my gaze focused on
Rostov-on-Don where Messi's
failure demons lurk
pair of superpowers from
sub-servient continents
Naija passion
running high octane Super
Eagles in deep green
Argentine drama also
high - squad coup attempt denied
Messi's mom said he
cried after Croatia match -
crowd is still sky blue
Musa is Nigeria's
Messi, but with a Moses
whenever Messi
with ball near the box feels like
adult versus kids
his confidence seems to have
quieted his failure demons
demons grow louder
as the ninety minutes drip
away in seconds
Messi finally scores - and
Maradona thanks Jesus
Messi has same god
complex Diego does, yet
is somehow lesser
young Nigerian keeper
fingers off Messi free kick
early second half
energies intensify -
Mascherano foul
cool Victor Moses converts
with flair; the demons whisper
Croatia scores, which
makes Iceland irrelevant
if that result holds
Rostov-on-Don remains a
tense winner-take-all affair
Uzoho only
nineteen, on World's brightest stage,
and thus far shining
Sampaoli starts stalking
sideline like fool hooligan
Musa cross through to
Ndidi near-dagger strike
for Argentina
Gylfi gets equalizer
against Croatia - tied there
Nigerian free
kick almost sealed victory -
SO FUCKIN' INTENSE
bloody Mascherano looks
intimidating as fuck
Marcos Rojo nails
cross to give Argentina
hope for a future
Maradona with double
middle fingers, yells "puto"
Maradona's trash,
and Messi is an asshole -
they deserve to lose
Nigeria seems beaten,
even with time left to play
four minutes added
time like an eternity
for African hopes
Argentina wins - FIFA
wins - corporate sponsors win
