For Argentina, and Lionel Messi, the real question has little to do with England, but instead focuses on whether or not they are able to rectify this defeat.

Will seven-time Balon d’Or winner Lionel Messi be able to guide his nation to success at the World Cup and rubberstamp his status as the greatest ever to play the game, or will Argentina get dumped out of the tournament at the group stage?
