    Indian Fans With Drums Drown Out Argentinians For Lionel Messi's Arrival. Watch

    Indian drums drowned out Argentina's diehard fans as hundreds waited hours to get a glimpse of a bus carrying Lionel Messi outside his World Cup team base in Qatar.
    A crowd of more than 500 that had waited until nearly 4:00 am (0100GMT) to see the arrival of their heroes was split evenly between Argentina's Indian fans and those from the South American country, many of whom have spent thousands of dollars to get to the World Cup.
    "If this is going to be Leo's last World Cup there can be no better place for it," said Munish Sharma who recalled seeing Messi score the winning goal when Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 in a friendly match in Doha in 2010.
    If those drums are going to play here every night then the team will never get to sleep," she said.
    "We wanted to see Leo, it's a shame," said Diego Cordovez, whose voice was hoarse from hours of singing.
