The Lion In Africa

The World Cup of Soccer has started and its been a mixed bag so far. Nothing spellbinding but the occassional spark. The first games are usually a nervous affair. Everyone keen to get going at the same time tense. Only Germany has been free flowing so far. But then not all teams have played. Argentina won a crucial game against Nigeria. They started the game very well. I don't watch much of club soccer and was waiting to see Lionel Messi. He did make a mess of many chances most of which he himself created. But one thing was clear. He has it in him. It's the same as watching someone like Zidane. In moments, one realizes that they are special players. Messi is one Lion to watch out for. Don't know if he will have his prey and take Argentina all the way. But for sure, he has got the teeth, and the speed. It's a matter of the mind. Will Lionel roar? Let's see.
