Messi and Mascherano made their debut in the World Cup

Ten of Barça’s 12 players at the World Cup have made their debuts and Messi and Mascherano began their tournament yesterday, Sunday, when Argentina faced off Bosnia in Rio.

Neymar has made a great start against Croatia and Alexis also scored in Chile’s 3-1 win over Australia, but it was a rather grimmer start for Barça’s five Spanish players and Alex Song, whose team lost against Mexico.

There were plenty of long faces as Spain began preparations for Wednesday’s game against Chile and Jordi Alba admitted to the media: “Nobody expected them to score five. We were the better team in the first half, but nothing went right after the break. We will have to give all for a win against Chile.”

Brazil’s next game will be tomorrow, Tuesday, against Mexico and the squad is prepared for that match with a practice game.
