A section of Kisumu residents rebuked Lionel Messi for failing to help his team to beat Croatia. Argentina which is captained by Messi was humiliated by Croatia which is captained by Madrid star Luka Modric.
Croatia beat Argentina 3-0 in their world cup group stage match after goals from Rebic A, Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic who also plays for Barcelona.
A number of football fans in Kisumu were disappointment by the results as they had staked their money on Argentina to win the game.
" I curse Lionel Messi for not helping his team to win the game against Croatia. I have lost my money to betting companies. Why can't he help his team as Ronaldo does with Portugal?" Benson Omondi lamented.
Argentina's chances of qualifying to round sixteen are now hanging on a balance as they are remaining one game against Nigeria. They now desperately need Iceland to lose to Nigeria for them to qualify if they beat Nigeria in their last group stage match.
Steve Otieno another fan joked," Things that disappear when you need them most include keys, remote, socks, and Messi,"
