IT will be Argentina vs. Germany taking the field as the two clubs will meet  in the first International Friendly of the day. The action kicks off today at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Germany and Argentina last crossed paths in the South Africa 2010 World Cup.

With Messi leading the way, many had Argentina automatically qualifying for the next round of the tournament as the teams met in the quarterfinals.

Boy were they wrong. Germany went on an unrelentless attack, defeating the Southern Americans 4-0.

In this matchup, Germany owns the home field advantage as the game will be hosted at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt. 

Despite their home field advantage, the Germans will not have talented players like Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Gomez  in their lineup.

But, with Messi taking the field, the fans will at least get to witness the man who some are calling the best soccer player on the planet. 

Messi has six goals so far in two friendly matches this year and will look to add more to the total. Look for the Argentinian to put on a show.

Do not miss a second of the action as ESPN will have the live stream of the match, which is set to begin soon.
