'Messi is from Jupiter,' says Keshi

The defeat to Argentina was one of the most entertaining and hard-fought games of the World Cup so far, but also a pleasingly fair clash with players joking on the field. The fact both sides progressed
to the Last 16 regardless of the result certainly helped the atmosphere. 

After the game, Super eagle's coach Stephen Keshi described Lionel Messi as an outstanding player saying "Messi is one heck of a player. You can't take that away from him."He's blessed. I think there are other players in the Argentina squad who are very strong, but Messi is from Jupiter." Keshi said.
The Argentina captain scored twice - the second a stunning free kick - as his side beat the Super Eagles 3-2 in their final Group F match in Porto Alegre on Wednesday.

Iran's defeat to Bosnia-Herzegovina meant Nigeria still qualified for the last 16 of the World Cup by finishing second in the group. Keshi was frustrated that his players showed too much respect for Argentina in the first half and urged them to reproduce their second-half display in their second-round fixture, which is all but certain to be against France.

"We respected Argentina too much," Keshi added. "We relaxed on the second half, tried to play our game and improved then. I hope we can continue like this on the rest of the tournament.

"We know France is a very good team, they play very well. We know about them and we'll have to prepare for that."
