Argentina’s “perfect player” led his team to a perfect start to its World Cup yesterday.

Lionel Messi guided Argentina to a 2-0 victory over Greece in Polokwane, South Africa, last night, 24 years after his coach’s “Hand of God” goal helped the South Americans to their second title. Yesterday’s win allowed manager Diego Maradona’s side to progress to last 16 of the tournament after three wins in as many games.
