Early this morning, heavily favored Argentina ended up in a disappointing tie against World Cup Cinderella Iceland. During the game, Lionel Messi, who is considered one of the greatest players on the planet, missed penalty kick that would have given Argentina the lead in the second half.

Of course Messi got instantly roasted by soccer fans around the world for choking on the biggest of stages.
