WORLD CUP UPDATES;
Lionel Messi brilliance ‘clouded’ by Argentina struggles, says Jorge Sampaoli
Argentina coach begs for forgiveness from his nation’s supporters Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli said his tactics are to blame for Lionel Messi’s poor form at the 2018 World Cup.

The Barcelona star has had more shots than any other player so far at this World Cup (12), but has failed to score with any of them and his team are on the brink of elimination following Thursday’s 3-0 defeat to Croatia in Group D.
Messi’s struggles are in stark contrast to his long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored four goals in his first two matches for Portugal – but Sampaoli feels Argentina’s struggles have limited the impact of his star player.
