Group B has a clear-cut favorite in Argentina and a heavy favorite to come in second in Nigeria. Argentina has arguably the best player in the world at this time in Lionel Messi. The 5-foot-7 forward has excelled in club play with Barcelona, scoring 34 goals in 30 games in league competition. Messi will be called upon to carry the team, and he should be able to deliver.
