Waiting for Malaysia to earn a spot in World Cup

BILLED as the last chance for Argentinian legend Lionel Messi to add the World Cup trophy to his long list of achievements, the Dec 18 FIFA World Cup final had local fans crowding eateries, roadside stalls and every place where the live match was screened.

The match came alive when the French national team clawed its way back to level the score at 2-2 right before full time, much to the dismay of Argentina fans, including yours truly.
