That is not on the players.
I almost guarantee you that Messi would have a much more illustrious international career if their coach trusted someone else on the team from time to time.
I said it in my initial post about this, Argentina look like Messi and 10 other random dudes.
Thats not going to work.

The post game panel I was saying the same thing. The Argentinians forced everything to the middle for Messi and gave up the wings.
