Alejandro Sabella’s side are amongst the favourites to win the tournament in their home continent and the Barcelona striker accepts that anything is possible.
He told TyC Sports: "Obviously the World Cup is a dream and a goal. We know that anything is possible, but we try to progress little by little.
“At the national team we have a solid group of friends. Some of us have known each other since we were little kids. That's something good. We enjoy playing together as a team".
Messi has been in India for a commercial contract and admits the support he has received in the country has been overwhelming.
He continued: “It is crazy being in India and having people still around our hotel at 4am.
“I really appreciate the love fans show me. I try to give them my time but sometimes that is impossible."
The 26-year-old also discussed how becoming a father to his son, Thiago, has changed his life away from the pitch.
"Being a dad has put football in second place – when you are a parent everything changes,” said Messi.
The forward has been hitting form as the season reaches its decisive stage, having scored 13 goals in his last 11 Barca matches.
Argentina drew 0-0 with Romania earlier this month and are in World Cup Group F against Nigeria, Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
