    Useless stepover drew a penalty against Spain for one of his three, I mean 4, goals so far this tournament

      I guess Messi didn’t dribble enough...?

        True, Messi is more of a team player. He will pass the ball and allow the Biter to get a few. It's the team that advances into the semi-finals; not the player.

          Messi dodn't get on the ball enough against Croatia. His work rate was crap. Messi's style is to drop deep into the midfield to start his run on the ball and gain dynamic advantage against relatively static defenders. Argentina didn't want Messi to drop and struggled to get him the ball. Poor performance by both the team and the player.

              The question is too generalized. When developing and especially when free playing, players don't dribble enough. Players don't take enough chances. Those that do and who unltimately feel comfortable in tight spaces are the ones who move on to the next level. Those who are always passing will be relegated to defense until someone who has played midfield or even forward gets displaced back toward defense....then the player who can't dribble goes back to school and changes sport.

              Even in the professional ranks, I would like to think that there are times when the players are dribbling as much as they can to maintain the most important skill in soccer....touch.

                Dribbling as a training skill is entirely different than the premise of the op, which asked if too much dribbling leads to loss of possession.
                Nobody is arguing that it is not part of a repetoire, but it is not a major part of a football team’s tactics. A good passing team will beat a fancy dribbling squad anyday.

                  Classless after the game, walking off without shaking the opponents hand.

                  The Argentina coach scares me

                    Too much dribbling, perhaps?

                      Has father time caught up to the Great One - Messi? Maybe/it happens.

                      I was at the game in Philadelphia when a fan ran onto the field and knelt in front of him; in honor. Fan was quickly escorted off the field. Messi laughed it off; seemed humbled. Heavy the head that wears the crown.

                          It is only over-dribbling if it never works and the kid keeps doing it, in which case they should be yelled at! If it always works, keep doing it.

                            Isn't that the US Soccer way? If it works, the coach taught it; if it doesn't kids selfish and uncoachable.
