Wasn't he suffering from a hamstring injury from his previous game?
He got injured in his last league game I believe and it was announced a week ago he was likely not to play in either friendly before the WC. The coach said he was progressing better and MAY get a few minutes either last night or their final friendly before the Cup. Anyone acting like they got swindled is an idiot.
Also, enjoy the game last night for much more than Messi. That was fun. Not as much fun as Mexico Brazil which was a pure party, but we saw the defending World Cup Champions getting in gear for their defending run. How can we **** on that from a performance on the field aspect?
