Argentina kept their dream of winning the cup alive by defeating the Netherlands on penalties in a dramatic quarter-final of the football World Cup, while Croatia, on the other hand, stunned tournament favorites Brazil in the second match.The atmosphere of the match between Argentina and Netherlands was quite heated and after scoring the second goal of Argentina, captain Lionel Messi celebrated in a unique way, the pictures of which have gone viral on social media.He put both his hands to his ears while facing the Netherlands bench.After the match, Messi said that Dutch coach Louis van Gaal had mocked him. Van Gaal said in an interview before the quarter-finals that Messi is the most dangerous player who creates the most chances, but when the ball is in the opponent's possession, he can't do much.Messi said in a conversation with journalists after the match that "I felt ridiculed by Van Gaal's comments before the match and some Dutch players were talking a bit too much during the match." We deserved to win and that's what happened.Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez said he had heard the Dutch coach say they would win if they went to penalties. They should keep their mouths shut.Both Argentine players also criticized the role of the referee.

Messi said that FIFA should think about this. "They can't hire a referee who isn't fit for the job."Spanish referee Antonio Laz showed more than a dozen cards during the match and his extra time decision was not liked by the Argentine players.In the world of football we have seen many famous celebration styles like taking off the shirt or jumping high after scoring a goal like Ronaldo.But when Messi scored his crucial goal last night, the Dutch turned to the benches and put both hands to their ears.Some on Twitter jokingly compared it to the call to prayer, while others called it the 'coolest' celebration of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.A user wrote that "This photo of Messi will now be shared on YouTube and the thumbnail of the video will say that Messi was giving adhan in the ground after scoring a goal."But in fact, according to some, Messi did it in honor of Recklami, who had a conflict with Van Gaal when he played for Barcelona. Van Gaal even called them 'political recruits' who were rarely fielded.Riquelme is considered one of the best midfielders in Argentina's history.Romain Riccalmi used to celebrate goals in the same way and according to Messi Van Gaal mocked the Argentinian players which left him disappointed.Roman Recklami's style is said to be based on a fictional cartoon character who used to imply that he was ignored despite scoring goals.
