One this is for sure, if he wins it, and plays amazingly in the process, he'll be the GOAT. But I'm pretty sure Maradona somewhere deep inside is hoping he doesn't win it, Maradonas ego is huge, and I don't think he'd want to be regarted as the second best Argentinian player of all time, somewhere deep inside of course, if Messi wins it, he'd say all the political correct things, but when he closes his room door, I'm pretty sure he'll be devastated.
As for Pele... he'll most likely contemplate suicide. Argentina has an easy way to the semi finals, but after that, I don't know. We can't count them out simply because of Messi, his impact on the pitch is so great, that when the ball comes near his feet, you don't know what his about to do, he has the gift of changing outcomes very quickly.
If Argentina wins it, it will be because of Messi.
