Soccer enthusiasts have been enamored with World Cup action ever since the tournament began. With several games taking place over the last week, business is beginning to pick up in Russia. With tomorrow's Serbia vs. Brazil, Switzerland vs. Costa Rica, South Korea vs. Germany and Mexico vs. Sweden matches keeping fans excited for what's to come, the thrilling nature of today's Argentina-Nigeria match caught people's attention. The Group D finale ended with Argentina advancing to the next round, keeping their World Cup dreams alive although they were the underdog. However, it's a little difficult to understand how any team with Lionel Messi on it can be an underdog.
Of course, Messi had a huge part in Argentina's big win. The game remained tied at 1-1 until the 86th minute when Marcos Rojo put his team ahead, ending in a 2-1 victory. People around the world took notice and although soccer may not be the sport of choice for most rappers, it's a little difficult to not respond to such a match-up. Everybody from Nelly, Action Bronson, Ebro Darden and others reacted to Argentina's big win and we've included some of their tweets below.
With Argentina now set to take on France, the upcoming match will be world tuning in for.
