The simple fact could be that he is great at club level but cant hack it on the biggest stage of all. It happens.I thought I noticed he was holding his hamstring at one point - he didn't look up for it really and the Germans were just organised enough to nullify Messi's threat. Mascherano was their best player - but Schweinsteiger was outstanding last night.
This. He just hasnt performed to the ultimate level in an Argentine shirt. Nothing to be ashamed of.I'd agree it's a daft thing to say. What he has really been "exposed" as, is as an exceptional player who, for whatever reason, cannot quite carry the hopes of a nation on his shoulders in the way his famous predecessor managed.
