Messi has no chance here , this squad he has around him are terrible.

Looks difficult to be honest. You feel France has a second and third gear and could take off at any time in the second half.

Pavon had been dissapointing today so far, but WHAT a goal by Di Maria. Hopefully they bring on Dybala in the right hand side, best time to do it is now with Messi as false 9.

Nah bringing on Dybala doesnt work. Messi just doesnt look comfortable in the middle of the park and needs to be shifted to RW. He needs a striker like Aguero in front of him

Will be getting a lot of space for sure in the 2nd half but he needs to exploit it.. Higuain is must in the 2nd half..

France is apathic. They need to get pavon and perez out and put dybala and aguero/higuain in. If you dont its a matter of time before one defender gets a red and they crash out 2-1/3-1

Need to stop thinking how to get Messi plays, especially that means moving him to RW. Messi at false 9 will take off markers from his teammates, so the others can contribute more. Believe di Maria was unmarked partly because of this.

They were all comfortably marked except for that moment where they just switched off. Poor from both teams, doesnt necessarily mean Messi false 9 is working. Messi clearly doesnt get the ball enough to create anything and seems terribly isolated.

You know you have a bad team with a horrendous setup, when 3 substitutions in half time is needed in every game to even balance the fallacies somewhat.

Never stood a chance. Argentina getting trashed, how can that be on Leo? It can’t, simple as that.
