Lionel Messi and Argentina are just '11 guys running around' in Copa America – Ale Moreno | ESPN FC



Argentina made it through to the Copa America quarterfinals with a win vs. Qatar, but ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno and Craig Burley have been far from impressed with their performance. Ahead of the Albiceleste’s next match vs. Venezuela, the Argentine press seem to already be looking ahead to a possible semifinal vs. Brazil, much to the surprise of Moreno, who says Argentina are a team of individuals hopelessly running around the pitch trying to force the ball to Lionel Messi and should not be overlooking any opponent.
