关键对位：梅西VS伊朗全队（Key battle: Lionel Messi v Iran. All of them）

The key question: how to stop Lionel Messi? Even with a clutch of Bosnian defenders trailing him for long periods, he was able to sidewind his way goalwards to score Argentina's second. In those moments, he becomes too good to handle. This threat is one of several banging headaches for Queiroz to medicate, but it will need a team effort to halt Argentina's creative fulcrum - Messi can impact the game from a variety of positions on the pitch. Failing that, they could just resort to kicking him.

最关键的问题：如何阻止梅西？即使一群波黑队员在场上大部分时间围堵梅西，梅西却能在边路拿球，挑过对方防守球员，攻进阿根廷队的第二粒进球。往往这些时候，梅西出色的发挥使对手更难盯防。这是伊朗主帅奎罗斯排兵布阵头疼的事情之一，但是需要伊朗全队一起合作才能阻挡梅西这个富有创造力的进攻核心。梅西无论在场上的任何位置都可以影响比赛的进程，因此阻止不了梅西，对手们也只能对他进行恶意犯规了。
