Some staff of Vodafone Fiji who are ardent Argentina fans celebrated Argentina's FIFA World Cup win in style, cutting a cake with fellow supporters and workmates.

Head of Vodafone eCommerce and Digital Financial Services, Shailendra Prasad says the script could not have been written any better for Lionel Messi.

He says this win by Argentina and Messi receiving the Best Player Award should put to rest the ongoing debate as to who is the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) in the world to have ever played soccer.

Prasad adds it has coronated Messi for his glittering career and what he has given to the soccer loving fans all over the world.

Fijian philanthropist and musician, Sumeet Tappoo has been in Qatar since last week to watch his team, Argentina and Messi win the World Cup.

In a video posted on his Facebook, Tappoo says this is the greatest sporting moment of his life.
