‘Messi can be a weakness’: Wayne Rooney identifies Argentina's defensive flaw England must exploit in WC semifinal

Wayne Rooney said Lionel Messi's limited defensive work could be a weakness for Argentina that England can exploit in the World Cup semifinal.

Argentina allows Messi to stay higher up the pitch to conserve energy, creating exploitable space for England's attacking runners.

Rooney noted that Messi's decision-making in key moments remains decisive and can settle the semifinal.
