'I live on Messi street, near Mascherano intersection'

You will find Lionel Messi Street at an intersection with Javier Mascherano if you visit the town of El Chanar in the northwestern Argentine province of Tucuman.

The town has renamed a number of its streets in homage to players on the Argentina team that reached this year's World Cup final against Germany in Brazil, the Argentine FA said on its website on Monday.

"My sister lives on Di Maria (street) and believes that's a good omen because her son plays in the same position as that player," the website quoted resident Nancy Quiroga as telling the local Gaceta de Tucuman newspaper, referring to Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria.
