SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alejandro Sabella, Argentina coach (About Belgium):

"Belgium have many players that play football in England and Spain. They are a very powerful squad and we have to take precautions when we are not in possession of the ball, and we have to try to play our game when we have possession. It's a national squad with big individuals and that plays very well as a team"

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alejandro Sabella, Argentina coach:

"I think that we have a team team that supports Messi, that makes him stronger, that makes him feel good and this helps him to achieve this performance that we can see now. Four years ago he was criticised and now… they say that we rely to much on Messi. so…it's not easy."
