The guy scored almost all his team's goals and those he didn't score he assisted. As a striker he did what could be asked of him and more. The one's who didnt do shit however were the rest of the strikers like Higuain, Lavezzi, Aguero and Palacio. Messi was the entirety of Argentina's attack apart from one good game from De Maria. If any one of the other players didn't completely flop, argentina would have been champions.
