Because Argentina for years has tried to set their team up like they are Barcelona. IMO they need to use 2 strikers and have Messi in the CAM position. The problem with Argentina is their build up play is genrerally awful and everything has to go through Messi. Messi is incredible but teams have shown that there is a book on him that works. There will be a point in the tournament where Messi gets shutdown and another player will have to step up. If they actually decide to use Mascherano in their backline they are going to get absolutely torched anyways. He cannot run anymore
