Nico Paz and Messi Argentina moments

Two things Nico Paz did in recent months, and both of them got me. The first: his first World Cup, Argentina lose the final, and instead of going quiet he posts a picture of himself with the Lionel Messi jersey from the 2006 World Cup, the one Messi debuted in for Argentina. The second: after Messi's farewell match with Argentina, Nico swaps his profile picture to a shot of the two of them hugging. Put those side by side and the message writes itself. He'd already said he would trade his own life to bring a trophy back to Argentina. Whatever happens from here, the heir has to be Nico Paz. That kid is headed for something big.
