What was so special about Messi's World Cup boots? Messi's boots, which are golden in colour, has the names of his sons and their birth dates written on it.

Take a look at Messi's boots below:



Messi fans have been going crazy since the picture of boots came out. A fan wrote in the comments section: "Made for a legend". Those words cannot be more truer.


Messi has scored two goals in the Qatar World Cup now. He had scored the only goal for Argentina in their opening game on November 22 vs Saudi Arabia. That was a penalty conversion. The one vs the Mexico was a rare outside-the-box goal in this World Cup. Messi positioned himself well and outsmarted the legendary Guillermo Ochoa, the goalkeeper of Mexico, to net the ball. Enzo Fernandez then scored a goal in the last minutes of the match to seal the deal for the South American nation. 


Argentina meet Poland next and win in that match, will take them through to the World Cup Round of 16 stage.
