Lionel Messi, the greatest Argentinian player since Diego Maradona, is off to a hot start in the 2014 World Cup from Brazil. He scored a goal and attempted four shots in Argentina's World Cup opener vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina. His girlfriend Antonella Ruccuzzo, a model living in Argentina, has a photograph on Instagram of her and the couple's son Thiago donning Messi's Barcelona jersey, is now garnering a lot of attention as the World Cup has kicked off.
The presence of Roccuzzo in Messi's life serves as an additional storyline chronicling the rivalry between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal as to which footballer holds the title of "best in the world." Ronaldo's girlfriend, Irina Shayk, is also a supermodel best known for her work alongside the likes of Kate Upton in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issues.
Messi has dated Roccuzzo since 2008, according to reports, and she gave birth to Thiago in 2012. The imagined competition between Messi and Ronaldo for the sexiest WAG in the sport will be put on hold while both teams seek soccer immortality.
Ronaldo's Portugal are facing off with Germany at the time of this article's publication, but his aggression is clear from the start. At the 21st minute, Ronaldo has already attempted two shots and gotten one on goal.
The earliest these two can settle the debate is in the quarterfinals due to the bracket setup, but it is likely to rage on forever until one of these all-time greats achieves the greatest honor in the sport-World Cup glory.
