5 reasons why France will beat Argentina

#3 Heavy reliance on Messi

What would Argentina do if Leo Messi is not at his best?

With all his qualities and the amount of joy Lionel Messi has given to the world of football, some could argue that he is not human, but the truth is despite all his success and quality he still human and he could have an off day.

This current Argentina team if filled with good attacking options like Higuain, Aguero, Dybala and Di Maria but the brilliance of Lionel Messi is clearly overshadowing them as a result of which they are heavily reliant on him.

And too much of anything is not good, if Leo Messi has an off day against France or if Kante makes him less influential what will Argentina do and to whom will they look up to?

Messi is one of their biggest strengths and makes Argentina one of the most feared teams in the tournaments but so far with him, they have failed to become a balanced team and his presence has also denied the rise of another talismanic player on the pitch for Argentina.
