    Welcome to L.A. TACO’s daily news briefs, where we bring our loyal members, readers, and supporters the latest headlines about Los Angeles politics and culture. Stay informed and look closely.

    —Argentine fútbol megastar Lionel Messi is being scrutinized online for appearing to kick around a Mexican jersey that was on the floor in his team's locker room. In a viral video making the rounds on Twitter, Argentina's national team is seen singing and celebrating their 2-0 win over Mexico while Messi is kicking off his cleats and lightly kicking a Mexican jersey that was on the floor. Mexico's boxing juggernaut, Canelo Alvarez, was quick to threaten Messi, tweeting, "you better ask God that I don't find you." However, many came to Messi's defense, telling the boxer to relax and that Messi was just taking off his shoes after a good game. Others shared a touching video of Andrés Guardado, a Mexican national team player, posted earlier this year that showed the Mexican player taking his son to meet Messi, posing for a photo with Guardado's son.
