In Form 1, 1986 , @ Fletcher High i had the privilege to watch and remember well the West Germany v Argentina Final . Iconic Maradona won the world cup..But he did not do it alone. When things got tough, he could call on his supporting cast to take down the opposition... Could Gonzalo Higuain bounce back from an off-key group stage to emulate Valdanos goal-scoring exploits? Could Angel Di Maria provide the same engine from the middle of the pitch as Burruchaga did? Could Mascherano prove as solid a midfield defensively as well as going forward as Batista did ?Could Biglia provide the Passarella effect ? It is around these questions, as much as Messis own contribution, that Argentinas 2014 World Cup fate was sealed. .. Matches are decided in split seconds and it could have been Higuans split second chance or Palacios chance that might have decided the match in Argentinas favor. Messi single-handedly decided 4 of Argentinas 7 matches...4 MAN-OF-THE-MATCH AWARDS.. You cant really deprive him of his Golden Ball. ..
