There is zero doubt Messi is an unbelievable player; however, if you saw the game yesterday you noticed that all attacks either terminated with a pass to him or they just folded back.

Algeria must have been an easier target for Argentina (compared to others coming up in the tournament) but it was clear they were feeding every chance to Messi

    People joke that Argentina is "Messi + 9 pitbulls", but it's kinda true. The other players do all the running for him and rely heavily on him to create and score. As I said in another comment, he is so good that it's a game plan that works for them, but you do wonder what happens if he picks up an injury.
