#3 Teamwork

Football is a team sport and Argentina must remember that. Yes, they have Messi, and yes expectations are high of him. But the other Argentina players must rise to the occasion and share the burden like they did in their game with Nigeria.

The team looked disjointed and unorganised in their first two games of the World Cup. Nothing seemed to work in their favour. Things, however, looked different in their final group game.
The effort and quality from the entire team were evident. Mascherano and Banega bossed the midfield, Messi got a goal and worked hard at tracking back, and Rojo got on the end of Mercado's cross to get the winner.
Argentina has to carry forward this momentum if they are to get anything against the Euro 2016 finalists
