Speaking after the match, Scaloni was asked about Messi's performance. "It's a little bit of an uncomfortable situation when people ask me that and I don't know what to say," he said. "Today he could've played ?90 minutes and, without undermining our opponent, he wanted his team mates to have time on the pitch and to save himself for what's coming up. "He doesn't think so much about the numbers that people are talking about. The only word that comes to mind is that I'm surprised." Scaloni made nine changes to this starting line-up and was impressed with their performances. "It's a very positive opinion that I have, especially as I was able to include all the players, this was a goal we always set for ourselves," he said. "I believe all of them deserve to enjoy coming to a World ?Cup and playing at a World Cup and we were able to give them minutes. I think they played quite well in a difficult match. "They showed me today that I can count on them." Argentina face Cape Verde in the Round of 32. Cape Verde drew to Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia to finish second in their group. "Based on what I've seen, I'm not surprised," said Scaloni. "They're a good team, they have made it very difficult for the three opponents they have played. "Spain couldn't beat them, Uruguay couldn't either. They're a fast team, they play well with a high calibre of play. I can guarantee you they're a team that's going to make it difficult for us," he added.
