    This is what i think.
    Armani- The goal keeper we all have missed. Was strong in air and can play the role of sweeperkeeper.

    9/10

    Mercado- One of the strongest performances of him in argentine shirt. Was able to shut down to rapid movements of Musa and Nigerian wingers perfectly. He occasionally advanced through wings, which was quite unlikely of him.

    8/10

    Taggi- Keeping apart from one/two loose passes, nearly loosing possession in first half after an exchange with Masche, taggi delivered a decent performance. He matches the pace of Jordi Alba in Barcelona, but lacks the later’s accuracy.

    6/10

    Ottamendi- Another good performance from citizen. Controlled his temper in this match. But failed to provide the aerial threat argentina required in set pieces.

    7/10

    Rojo- Decent in terms of defensive work rate. Didn’t make much mistakes as his usual self. Hero of the night by scoring the late winning goal.

    8/10

    Mascherano- Despite loosing possession in some critical times and ending up giving penalty in second half, Masche was highly influencial in cutting down Nigerian midfield reaching towards the forwards and pressing the defense, causing them to loose the ball. He provided much needed emotional support in later half, especially after the Nigerian penalty.

    9/10

    Ever Benega- On his day, Banega will play like no one else. Last night was a such one. One of the most underrated midfielders on planet due to his inconsistency- Banega, provided the assist for Messi’s goal and perfectly controlled the entire game. Messi was relieved of his creative duties and cut through Nigerian defense frequently. To me, he is the gamechanger and man of the match.

    9.5/10

    Perez- Decent performance from him as a midfielder. He lacks the killer instinct of iniesta, xavi or pirlo. However linked up well with Masche in shutting down Nigerian midfield.

    7/10

    Di Maria- Another good performance from PSG man. Created havocs in Nigerian defensive by his pace and agility. However he stills lacks the accuracy.

    8/10

    Higuain- One of the best performances from higuain. Linked up well with messi, highly involved in buildups, provided the defensive work some times, however missed a clear chance in second half from close range.

    8/10

    Messi- A strong performance from Leo and became the third Barcelona player to score the 100th goal in World cup after Iniesta and Neymar. Showed some leadership skills, like never before.

    9/10

    Pavon- Has the pace, however lacks the accuracy especially when it comes to crosses.

    7/10

    Meza – Was largely silent.

    6/10

    Overall 8/10

    What worked: Sampoli was able to give Messi more space and relieving him of creative duties. Messi did saw more ball as he promised in prematch interview. Bringing Banega in, was an intelligent decision. Tactically, when Nigerian defense tried to mark Messi or Higuain , DM like Masche and Perez pressed high and forced them to loose ball. Moreover Argentina tried to play with long passes whenever they were on the verge of loosing possession and they executed it well. This is something Barca can emulate the upcoming season.

    What didn’t worked: Loose passes from taggi and Masche in first half, nearly resulted in a goal. Against a team like France, that cannot be afforded. Moreover despite his defensive work rate, Perez was largely silent when it comes to creative responsibilities. He has good passing rate, however lacks the clinical stint/accuracy which is more needed. I believe lo celso should start ahead of Perez in round of 16 against France.

    yes..teamnu mothathil confidence koodiyittund...prequarterilekk kadakkumbol ath valare positive aaya oru karyamanu..and messi hugged sampoli too...masche and messi is like xavi and iniesta..they share a brotherly affection off the field. Thats reflecting inside the field also.
