We'll never get tired of watching this. NEVER

While Gonzalo Higuain's ultimately deciding goal was pretty tasty, the real moment of undoubted magic was a sublime pass pulled off by Lionel Messi to Angel di Maria. Messi pass v Belgium With Belgian players closing him down, Messi managed to shift his weight, get the ball onto his magic left foot and curl a perfect 40-yard pass around the remaining defender to set Di Maria in on goal. As a combination of vision and precision, we've seen nothing better in this World Cup.
