@Mantus dude chill I was just being sarcastic! Some people are always saying Messi only performs for barcelona. Well I hope this performance shut them up. No words can describe what a player he is. Don't think we will be seeing another player like him for a very long time
Argentina's strike force is crazy man! Packed full of world class and top attackers. They can literally field a team full of attackers with no defenders! A pity that defence is an integral and essential part of the game. My wish of their line-up:
-------------------romero---------------- Zabaleta---coloccini---garay---rojo------ ----------mascherano---cambiasso--------- Aguero-------------messi----------di maria ------------------higuain-----------------
And they would still have an abundance of top strikers on their bench like tevez, lavezzi, milito, alvarez, pastore, lamela, palacio. Wow!
Their attack is world class but their defence is poor and despite having some of the strongest defenders they were unable to clear the Forlan's ball from the Spot kick. They must improve their defensive abilities.
Another thing, IMO! They should re-call Pablo Aimar because their mid-field sometime seems to lethargic
So happy to see Messi playing at his peak at the national level. He deserves to win a WC, maybe then finally everyone will understand that he is the best the world has ever seen.
People say he has to win the WC to be considered the best ever. But even if he is the best player ever, it's very possible that he will never win a WC. That's the beauty of football, that nothing is certain before a game or tournament. There are far too many variables besides Messi's skill that will affect the result of the next WC. I can only hope he gets the recognition he deserves
