last season messi didn't stand out so much playing for PSG this time maybe it's different even though messi didn't carve a champion league trophy for SPG but he will totally play with argentina maybe this is his last game in the world cup event. Same thing as Brazil I think these two countries will rely heavily on the two mega stars Messi and Neymar, what's interesting is Germany I think Germany will qualify for the semifinals seeing some of their strikers are very sharp in scoring goals.

It's too much pressure for Messi, I don't think he will manage to do it.

Last chance to win the World Cup pretty much. He has done an amazing career, but still hasn't been able to win the world cup. And I'm not sure he'll be able to deliver this time. He's not Maradona.

No World Cup can ever be won by relying on one player. So I think if Argentina rely on Messi alone, they will have to give up the hope from the World Cup. Everyone's concentration is needed there. Everyone has to play well. There is a lot of pressure on those who are good players. In that case, most of the time the result will not be good if those players are given extra pressure.
