Twitter goes crazy as Argentina qualify for the next round

THEY HAVE DONE IT! Argentina have defied the odds to qualify for the next round!

Needing nothing less than a win vs Nigeria, Argentina took the lead thanks to Lionel Messi. The African side levelled things up early in the 2nd half thanks to a clumsy foul by Mascherano.

It looked like Nigeria were going to pull off a draw and go through to the next round, Marcos Rojo scored! MARCOS ROJO! And that too from a cross by Mercado...

Here's how Twitter reacted to the epic finish:

It’s about time we settle it. Portugal are carried by Ronaldo the same way that Argentina are carried by Rojo. Let’s stop with the constant debates. Let’s enjoy both of them.
