Lionel Messi Fails To Galvanise Argentina With Oasis Anthem

Argentina striker Lionel Messi attempted to galvanise his team mates by playing an Oasis song ahead of their game with Germany.

Messi, a recent Oasis convert, is believed to have played 'Rock And Roll Star' as the team made their way to match in Cape Town on Saturday (July 3).

But the striker's tactic failed to inspire Argentina, who were thrashed 4-0 by the Germans.

"He was really keen to hype up the team with this rousing anthem,” a source told The Sun. “Unfortunately it didn't produce the desired result."

Meanwhile, Oasis' former guitarist Noel Gallagher had apaprently recorded a good luck message for the squad should they make the final.
