After an unexpected draw against Iceland, the Argentine team didn’t took a lesson and they were shackled by the brilliance of Luka Modric to face a 3-0 defeat. With one point on the board and a final group game against Nigeria to come, Argentina could still qualify for the last 16. But its a hard nut to crack for the Sampaoli’s side. However, the string of unexpected results have not gone well for the Argentine and Messi fans and they have all to blame to the Barcelona striker. Twitter fledded with memes and trolling images after Argentina’s shocking defeat to Croatia in Russia. Here are some of the best reactions.

Indeed !
Everyone blaming Messi for the loss like he is the coach, defender or a goalkeeper of Argentina. Messi is just a one player not a whole team!#ARGCRO pic.twitter.com/sUpX9WfW9E

Even the legend is disappointed
“Modric was an excellent. Days like today, I wish players like that were Argentinian. Our leaders are not leaders now. Messi doesn’t have that personality. It’s a shambles. He took pictures with a goat. You’re not the goat. Win something first.” – Diego Maradona after #ARGCRO pic.twitter.com/S9V2hQ4aNi

Let’s not differentiate between the two. We are lucky enough to be living in an era where we are seeing the world’s top two footballers taking their bar up by each passing day. We are so lucky.
When u just realise that Ronaldo has more goals than the whole of Argentina worldcup #ARGCRO pic.twitter.com/e0hJPFOEgu
