England and Argentina will meet in a FIFA World Cup semi final in Atlanta on Wednesday night for the first time in 24 years. Former England players express mixed views on how Lionel Messi may influence the outcome. Messi has scored 125 goals in 205 international matches and tops the current tournament scoring list with eight goals. His run of scoring in nine straight games ended in the quarter final against Switzerland. Rooney believes the forward may struggle against England attack despite adding to his assist count.
