Lionel Messi’s mother has come up with an extraordinary plan to ensure the world’s best player is at peak fitness for Argentina’s World Cup quarterfinal against Germany on Saturday.
Garlic. Messi’s battle with a cold and flu bug, which kept him out of a Thursday training session, has been a source of concern to the entire nation of Argentina, which understandably sees him as crucial to its hopes of reaching the semifinals. However, Messi’s mom Celia Cuccitini reacted quickly by ordering her son to take a natural, garlic-based potion in order to ward off the symptoms of the condition. Team doctor Donato Villani admitted he had "approved" the idea, although it is not known how much garlic Messi actually consumed. "Messi has some flu-like symptoms but it is nothing important," Villani said. "Everybody cares about him and wants him to feel his best. Of course everyone, his family, the team, we want him to feel better." BOSCO, Hope Messi is fit and scores a couple or more times today.

If they can beat the might of Argentina on Saturday then that is it. I think one goal will settle it. -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
