Love the banter!

Football chants like these are what make the World Cup so fun. It's all in good spirit, but I really hope this doesn't backfire-we've seen what Messi does after being provoked!

From a Muslim brother in Qatar, this is hilarious! But we all know Messi has that dawg in him. Let’s keep the energy though.

This is the spirit of the World Cup! Good fun, nothing personal. But if Messi wins, I’ll just blame the chant lol.

Haha love this! Banter is what football is all about. But yeah, Messi on a mission is scary. Hope our boys are ready!

Classic chant! But remember Argentina’s last game? Messi turned it around. Let’s not poke the bear too much.
