Here are three takeaways following Argentina's nervy 1-0 win against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier in Mendoza that saw the hosts play the second half with only 10 players.
1. Argentina still loves Messi
"Lio: Thanks for so much, sorry for so little" read a banner hanging from the centre of the stands in Mendoza, directly across from the television cameras and the tunnel where the players entered the pitch. It had been there for at least two-and-a-half hours by the time the match kicked off. The "so little" presumably referred to the amount of support many Messi fans feel he has been given -- or hasn't -- by the country as a whole, but Mendoza has been vocal in its support throughout the national team's brief stay in the city.
