Congratulating Lionel Messi on the goal against Iran, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has called on the Argentine icon to "join the jihadist call."
A Twitter account affiliated with the ISIS, the extremist militants who have seized a whole section of the country, tweeted the following message on Sunday, the Washington Post reported.
The tweet highlights the tensions between the Sunni ISIS and Shia Iran, which reportedly has already sent small numbers of operatives to support the Shia-led government of Iraq in opposing ISIS.
The goal, which came in stoppage time at the 91st minute, gave Argentina the 1-0 edge to pull a win out of the scrappy match.
Messi, who plays for FC Barcelona in Spain, probably has no clue of what he has been dragged into.
