Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has warned his colleagues their Group F foes in summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil should be underrated insisting the games against Nigeria, Iran and Bosnia won't be a walk in the park for them as many people have predicted.
"I've heard people say that our group is easy and we will finish first. But the matches have to be played.
A World Cup isn't easy because there's the best National Teams. Argentina has the responsibility to finish first, it's true. But the matches have to be won on the pitch."
Argentina will open her World Cup campaign against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 15 in Rio De Janeiro before taking on Iran in Belo Horizonte on June 21 and Nigeria in Porto Alegre on June 25.
Messi also spoke on the possible inclusion of Juventus star, Carlos Tevez in the squad to Brazil.
"It's the coaches decision if he decides to call him (TEVEZ) up. We have nothing to do with it. We have a great team and if TEVEZ gets called up, no problem.”
