Fifa World Cup 2014 Round Of 16 Argentina vs Switzerland

This is the 7th round of 16. Switzerland,  after finishing as the runner-up after France in Group G, takes on Argentina who won all 3 games by 1 point leads. Even though most people thought Argentina was going to crush Switzerland I didn't. I think this world cup was really weird. Spain didn't pass, and Costa Rica finished 1st in the "group of death". This was a great game with a lot of shots for both teams. There were no goals in the 90 minutes of regular time so the game had to go to overtime. In minute 118, 2 minutes before the game would go to penalties Lionel Messi makes a beautiful pass to Angel Di Maria who shoots it past Benaglio and scores a beautiful goal. Of course Di Maria received all the credit which I thought was unfair. All Di Maria did was shoot the ball with a pass right to his feet. But Messi actually did the whole thing. He evaded 2 defenders and made a really nice pass to Di Maria who scores. That's how the game ended, Di Maria almost scoring when Benaglio goes all the way up front. Argentina earned a spot vs. the winner of USA and Belgium in the quarter finals.
