usa v argentina soccer friendly match about to start on espn2 and espn3.com. messi takes manhattan.
looks like argentina has embraced the spanish/barcelona style of play (quick relentless short passes) which makes sense as this plays to messi's strengths. if you have arguably the best scorer in the world you should attempt to make use of his talents. they are dominating the ball but they have yet to find the net.
usa managed a 1-1 tie as argentina didnt nearly have the vigor and skill shown in the first half. and then they started to flop and complain at which point i was thoroughly disappointed.
