Messi’s face grows in field in Argentina after World Cup victory
>
An Argentine farmer has grown a massive 124-acre image of Lionel Messi visible from space after planting a specially designed cornfield to celebrate the star’s World Cup heroics.
Maximiliano Spinazze used an algorithm that calculated where seeds would need to be planted in his field in Los Cóndores, in the central province of Córdoba, Argentina.
The result was a huge image of Messi’s bearded face that is visible from space. The incredible tribute to the soccer great comes after he helped Argentina to a famous World Cup victory over France in Qatar.
“For me, Messi is unbeatable,” said Spinazze, the farmer who planted the unusual formation.
“Now they are world champions, I am delighted that this can be expressed by planting the crop.”

The soccer-mad South American country is a major agricultural producer, the world’s third-largest exporter of corn.
Agriculture is its main export engine, although soccer may be its main claim to fame.
Carlos Faricelli, an agricultural engineer, designed the coding of the seed planting machines that allowed them to sow in a precise pattern to create the final image, with certain areas denser with seeds than others.

Carlos Faricelli, an agricultural engineer, designed the coding of the seed planting machines that allowed them to sow in a precise pattern to create the final image, with certain areas denser with seeds than others.
“I had the idea of making a code that goes on the planters with Messi’s face as a tribute,” he said, adding that he later made the code available to any farmer “who dared to plant it.”
Using geocoding tools, the machine knows how much seed per square meter to put in certain places to create contrast between the different parts of Messi’s face, Faricelli said.
“So when this corn grows and you take an aerial shot, where the plants are closer together and the soil is less visible, a more intense green contrasts with where there are fewer plants and then you create this type of agricultural art.”
The rancher is not the only fan who shows his love for Lionel Messi.
A devoted soccer fan showed his unique tribute to the World Cup hero by shaving the Argentinian captain’s face at the nape of the neck.
The stunning ‘hair tattoo’ creation was done by Antonio, known as Anton Barber, in the Dominican Republic.
The images show the uncanny resemblance to the World Cup-winning captain, with the beard and haircut even shaved to the back of the client’s head.

He initially defended his decision against attacks from critics who called him stupid after he posted pictures of himself getting his bizarre tattoo on his Instagram site, insisting: “I’m not hurting anyone, I’m not doing anything illegal.”
But overnight she admitted that she wished she could turn back the clock, admitting: “I’m sorry I got the tattoo because instead of bringing me positive things, it has brought me a lot of negative things, both personally and for my family.”
