Soccer vs football: Twitter trolls USA for losing 4-0 to Argentina in Copa America semi-finals

Argentina thrashed the hosts USA by 4-0 in the Copa America Centenario semi-finals held in Houston on Wednesday.

Barcelona striker Lionel Messi scored his 55th International goal, earning the tag of the highest all-time goal scorer for his country. It was also his 5th goal in this tournament. Goals from Ezequiel Lavezzi, Messi, and Gonzalo Higuain secured Argentina's entry into finals where they will face either Chile or Colombia on Sunday.

Twitter reacted to the humiliating defeat of USA by the hands of Argentina. Here are a few reactions:

Does Argentina have more goals than the US has touches in Argentina's penalty area?
