The Argentinian national team, ahead of their Friday friendly match against El Salvador at FedEx Field, the team attended a Wizards vs Pacers NBA game and naturally, all parties involved publicized the heck out of it.
And we have to thank them, because it’s produced some brilliant images. Lionel Messi and friends clearly had a ball, and with cameras flashing and television cameras searching, we saw every savory minute of it.
The Pacers made sure to point out that they have an Argentinian on their team as well in Luis Scola. Fundamentals! They got to see a good game too, as the Pacers beat the Wizards 103-101, with George Hill hitting a game-winning shot in the final seconds. Basketball!
