Lionel Messi and free kicks from inside 30 yards? Danger. Danger Will Robinson.

In this case it was danger USMNT, and Messi made them pay for a foul in a big way. Skying a ball that Brad Guzan or any other keeper the world over wouldn’t have stopped, Messi netted one of his best free kicks ever.

He also set the all-time goals record for an Argentinian in international play with his 55th goal for his country. Just pure brilliance.
