Why was Messi replaced today in Argentina vs Nigeria?

I barely know anything about football so I don't understand. I didn't see what happened because I wasn't paying attention for that short moment.

Did he commit a foul?

He scored two goals for his team, is he the hope for Argentina?

    Because it's enough for their star player. They don't want to exhaust his muscles and therefore risk injury at the end of a pretty pointless game. Both teams are in for the next round anyway.

    Just to give him a rest for the next game, simple. Argentina is already classified

    Well, here in Argentina the explanation was that Pep Guardiola gave that advice to Sabella, our coach, to not stress Messi.

    Because Argentina doesn't want those dirty n.i.g.g.ers to hurt him so that he can play next week.

    Argentina is already in round 16.
