Messi, Argentina Finish SEC Roadtrip With Pre-World Cup Win Over Iceland At Auburn

Could the defending World Cup champions comprehend the sights and sounds of one of college football's best atmospheres?

It was a bit of a surreal sight as Lionel Messi and Argentina played Iceland in a pre-World Cup friendly on the campus of Auburn University, cruising to a 3-0 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Messi came on as a second-half substitute in Tuesday's win in front of a raucous crowd of more than 88,000 on The Plains that's normally accustomed to big games on Saturdays in the fall.
