His team, Argentina, is coming off a 3-0 blowout loss to Croatia, and sits in last place in the Group D standings. In order to advance to the round of 16, Argentina will need to handily defeat Nigeria and hope Iceland doesn’t beat Croatia. And Messi will have to play significantly better—he has zero goals on 12 shots, which ESPN says is the most attempts out of any player in the tournament so far. Adding insult to injury, one of those misses was a crucial penalty kick against Iceland that could have won Argentina the game (it ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw). Over the past seven days, Messi has just a 28 percent positive score on Social. Meanwhile, his top competitor for best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, is having a significantly better time in Russia. His squad, Portugal, is tied atop the Group B standings with Spain, and Ronaldo has four goals in two matches. For his efforts, Social is rewarding Ronaldo with a more respectable 57 percent positive score. –Alex Shultz
