An Argentine TV host has quit after she erroneously reported that Lionel Messi’s father had died — two days after the soccer icon led the Argentina national team to victory in their first World Cup match. Florencia Peña made the false report surrounding Jorge Messi’s health during a live stream broadcast of Luzu TV’s “El Show del Verano” on Thursday. “I don’t want to break bad news, but Messi’s father just died,” Peña said, according to the US Sun.
