For Spain the World Cup will be the last chance for many of its members to win a major international honour
Argentina star Lionel Messi is set to return from a minor injury for today's worldwide friendly against Spain, national team coach Jorge Sampaoli said yesterday.
"A revolver called the World Cup is put to his head and if he doesn't win it, it fires and kills him". "Passing by the World Cup trophy was terrible".

"What I find negative about this type of football is that it damages even Messi", Sampaoli wrote in an excerpt that appeared in Clarin's weekend magazine, Viva. "It's madness that he can not enjoy his talent". "The day before the match against Italy he said he wasn't fit to play and he didn't".
"There is a "Messi dependency" generated by Messi himself because of how incredible he is on the pitch, but we can not rest just on that", Sampaoli wrote.

All 63 passengers and four crew members left the aircraft on the inflatable slides and no one was injured. The flight diverted safely to Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia .
Dybala has to be pleased as he might participate in this summer's World Cup with Argentina after all. "But he also told me that when I played again, if I did it right, I had the doors open". From there, we must make a team surrounding that. "You can not teach him, you have to understand him, you have to build a team around him".
"This is a guy who has stayed as the best in the world for 10 years".
"So we decided [to go] with Gio, who had trained with the other group, to take Leo's position so we didn't have to modify our plan, and beyond the individual level, we had some players with good development during the game, they respected the idea a lot".
Argentina may have to continue their search at the Wanda Metropolitano without Messi, who has been struggling with pain in his hamstring and adductor.
