The World Cup is less than a year away. As a soccer fan, you are already frothing at the mouth, so to say, in regards to the tournament, as it looks to be an all-time classic. Not only is the tournament going to have the amazing backdrop of South America for the first time in decades, but it is also going to feature some of the best collection of talent to grace the pitch in soccer history. While many people are looking forward to seeing what host Brazil, defending Champion Spain, and perennial favorites Italy and Holland are going to offer, but also what the world’s greatest current soccer player is going to do on the pitch. You cannot count out Argentina if Messi is on the pitch, and you can’t properly cheer on Argentina if you don’t have an Argentina MESSI jersey to wear for the tournament.
While “La Albiceleste” is in firm control of their qualifying group to make their 12th consecutive World Cup, Argentina is looking to make it past the Quarterfinals for the first time since 1990. Argentina won the World Cup on home soil in 1978, and again raised the Cup in Mexico in 1986 (thanks, in part, to Maradona and the “Hand Of God”), and made the Finals in 1990, where they lost to West Germany in a close Final. Since then, Argentina made the Round of 16 in 1994, the Group Stage in 2002 and three Quarterfinals in 1998, 2006 and 2010. For a soccer crazy country like Argentina, these types of results are not what they are looking for. With the best soccer player in the world on the pitch for them, Argentina is looking to make a deep run into the 2014 World Cup, once again showing the world that they are a team to be reckoned with on the International Stage.
For those who are looking to cheer on Messi and the Argentines, argentina jersey options are available both online and in most soccer shops. For those who are looking to purchase argentina MESSI jersey, why not do it before the World Cup so that they can be worn for qualifying and friendlies.
