Napoli great Diego Armando Maradona has hinted on Argentina's poor form, saying than Lionel Messi is "alone" and singlehandedly dragging the Albiceleste through this World Cup.
The 27-year-old Barcelona ace has been named man of the match in every of Argentina's four matches at the tournament so far. He netted four goals in their first three games and laid on the 118th minute winner for Angel Di Maria in Tuesday's 1-0 last-16 win over Switzerland.
And Maradona believes the team must raise their game if they must beat a highly spirited Belgium side in the quarter-final match, and progress to the semis.
