Messi, Argentina beat Netherlands on penalties at World Cup

LUSAIL, Qatar: Lionel Messi started the match by delivering another football clinic.

And of course there were goals, too, for one of the greats of the game whose bid to win the World Cup for the first time is still on track. Messi is heading to the semifinals with Argentina after a chaotic penalty-shootout victory over Netherlands that had just about everything on Friday.
