Messi\\\'s moment as Argentina face Bosnia

Lionel Messi will be attempting to cement his legacy as an all-time great when Argentina tackle Bosnia-Hercegovina in their World Cup Group F opener in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. Trophies, plaudits and individual honours have rained down upon the record-shredding 26-year-old Barcelona sensation over the past few years, but a signature showing at a major international tournament still eludes him. Although he was a member of the Argentina team that claimed Olympic gold in Beijing in 2008, success in the World Cup and the Copa America has proved harder to come by. A 4-time Ballon d’Or-winner and 3-time European champion with Barcelona, Messi’s devastating ability cannot be questioned, but without success with Argentina, there will always be an asterisk against his achievements. But while his previous World Cup experiences in 2006 and 2010 proved unfulfilling, there is a feeling that 2014 should be Messi’s time, according to a news agency.
