Messi got Argentina to the final game last time around with some surprisingly good defending and goalkeeping but without di Maria and with a hobbled Aguero. He got the golden ball in doing so. Caballero may be the worst keeper I've seen in years, their back line is leaky, and the team looks completely disjointed. The coach already should have been sacked, and reports are the locker room is in chaos. They were playing lousy in qualifying, barely getting through mostly because of Messi. Argentina being a dumpster fire isn't because of Messi.
