🛑 How will England stop Messi? Here are two examples already | OneFootball

There’s already plenty of fire in the duel between England and Argentina. That’s been clear from the opening minutes. Lots of little fouls and plenty of arguments have shaped the game so far. There has even already been a mass confrontation. 

Referee Ismail Elfath has his hands full trying to keep the two teams under control.

In keeping with that, it’s also already becoming clear how the Three Lions want to stop Argentina superstar Lionel Messi. For one, as a collective and with robust challenges. 

On the other hand, also with little mind games. Small provocations to take his focus away. To draw him into arguments.
