00:07The good news for Argentina and Lionel Messi fans is that he would make a record 6th World Cup appearance
00:12as his hamstring injury isn't considered as serious as it could have been.
00:16But the bad news is that Messi will not be 100% to start the tournament according to Argentina manager
00:22Lionel Scaloni.
00:23Scaloni said they will now monitor his progress as they await further tests to see if they confirm the initial
00:29medical reports.

00:50And you just can't please everyone as former US international Hercules Gomez has been critical of USA men's coach Mauricio

00:59His issue wasn't only about the Argentina-born coach's squad selection but rather how he informed the players.
01:05According to reports, Pochettino confirmed their selection or non-selection via email which Hercules considers to be in poor taste.
