adminMessi, who stated his World Cup goal once again in midweek, is at the fulcrum of everything that is good about a dynamic team coached by Alejandro Sabella in which midfielders Javier Mascherano, Fernando Gago and Walter Montillo also shone.
Messi, who converted a penalty, is two goals short of the 34 Diego Maradona scored for Argentina, while Gonzalo Higuain’s brace put him top of the South American scorers chart. ‘Our forward line are among the best in the world,’ said coach Alejandro Sabella.
Messi will play against Bolivia tomorrow in La Paz, where visiting teams suffer the effects of the high altitude. Argentina lost 6-1 on their last visit. Colombia kept up the chase on group leaders Argentina with a 5-0 demolition of Bolivia. The duo are the front runners in the nine-nation South American group. — Mailonline.
