I don't have a huge preference - but I think I'd probably enjoy it if Messi had a stormer and won them the World Cup. He's a fantastic player and arguably the best in his generation and I like it when the best players get to become icons.
I feel the same way. I'd hate Messi to retire without a World Cup, so that people would always use that against him, when comparing to other great players - pretty much like they do with the likes of Zico, Falcão, Sócrates, etc.
If this World Cup was anywhere else but here, I'd probably be cheering for Argentina now (I never thought I would be saying that
) only because I'm such a big fan of Messi. However, the World Cup IS here, and there are around 100,000 Argentinians expected to come to Rio this weekend.
So... come on Germany. After all, they're playing much better, more exciting and entertaining football, whereas Argentina have been boring during the whole competition. It would be a shame if this brilliant German generation could not get their hands on a WC trophy.
