FOR all the criticism that they are a one-man team, Argentina have proven in their last two World Cup matches that they can produce results even without Lionel Messi being at his very best.

The likes of Angel Di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain - the match-winners against Switzerland and Belgium, respectively - have raised their game to lead the South Americans to successive 1-0 wins.

Ahead of the second semi-final against the Netherlands in Sao Paolo, Argentina will need every single player to be at his absolute best.
