Lionel Messi's wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, is very active on social media and ahead of Argentina's clash against Croatia on Thursday, she had posted a picture of their youngstest son, three-month-old Ciro, wishing Messi good luck for the match.

She captioned the picture as - #VamosPapi" -- meaning "#GoDaddy" – which means Go Daddy.

However, the match turned into a nightmare for Ciro's father and the entire Argentina side after Croatia thrashed them 3-0 in the Group D game at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.

 

 

Post the 3-0 drubbing, angry Argentina fans mocked the caption to the picture, as one of them wrote, “Papi is a loser.” 

"Papi" would be coming home soon when Argentina get knocked out of the tournament,” another fan wrote. I hope you will tell Messi to play a better match against Nigeria," another person commented, referring to the upcoming third and final Group D game in St. Petersburg.

Meanwhile, many others voiced support for the family with kind words and wishes: "Go, Leo! Do it for your family!"

 

 

Argentina's downfall against Croatia happened when Rebic made the most of a goalkeeping error, Modric fired home a superb long range effort and Rakitic completed the rout to leave the hopes of twice world champions Argentina hanging by a thread with one last chance to salvage their campaign.

A hard-working Croatia side took the lead when Rebic spectacularly hooked the ball over his shoulder into the roof of the net in the 53rd minute after being teed up by a botched clearance from hapless goalkeeper Willy Caballero.

 

 

Skipper Modric then put his side on course to become the fourth country to book a place in the last 16 in Russia as he swerved right, then left and right again before hammering home a thunderous shot from just outside the area with 10 minutes left.

Rakitic struck the crossbar with a free kick soon after before finishing off the rout by tucking the ball away from close range in stoppage time to complete the victory.
