10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[xxxxxx]

I think Argentina are destined to win the World Cup with Messi scoring a few.

Lionel Messi completed 10 take-ons tonight, more than any other player on the pitch #arg [via @squawka]

I am sure I read stats like that about Di Maria in Swiss game when he had one of the worst games I have ever seen from him.

Doesnt tell the whole story.

Do you seriously think Argentina has any chance vs netherlands? I fear a collapse like today.

hola amigo.

In my opinion, it is whenever Argentina shifts to a defensive tactic that Messi is less effective.

That`s a good point, I think when Palacio comes on Messi and the team suffers.

hola amigo.

Indeed.

What people didn't realise is Holland haven't exactly been great since they beat Spain in the first game.

No team has really been consistent enough, so it wouldn't surprise me if Argentina outplay Germany.

Really bad subs by Sabella.. Perez and Higuain off what was he thinking. Still I didn't care how they won as long as they did. Hopefully Di Maria can be back for the final. Messi looked really off the pace 2nd half, hoping for a lot more from him in the final.

Not even going to be negative, life gave Leo another chance to redeem himself

and that chance is in the finals.

hola amigo.

Anyway, Messi...come on....won't kill you to run a bit here and there. Congrats to Mascherano, MOTM.

Palacio could have easily scored after 115 min and you would be praising Sabella, same with Maxi after that Messi pass.

Voodoomaster, you are the most pessimistic person ive ever seen. I dont visit this forum very often but every time i see you thinking that Barca (or argentina this time) will lose.

Your voodoo is working. Now, you just need to post one of these:

Do you seriously think Argentina has any chance vs Germany?

1 game away from winning the world cup
1 performance away from winning the golden ball
1 performance away from cementing a 5th Balon d'or

Was his worst game in the tournament tonight, although it wasn't an easy game for him as his was tightly marked all game and even when he lost De Jong the Netherlands had to lines of defenders. Wasn't a bad performance or a performance in which he lost possession a lot/missed chances. Just a quiet game from him.

I was expecting the dutch to take control of the game with their superior midfield and imo overall a better team but they instead chose to be negative. I can see Argentina being able to counter against the Germans and that's when they will be most dangerous.
