SAO PAULO -- Not even the return of Lionel Messi from a three-game absence managed to save Argentina from losing 3-0 to Brazil last week.The Barcelona star said everything needs to change in its next World Cup qualifier against Colombia on Tuesday.The runner-up in 2014, Argentina enters the 12th of 18 rounds of qualifying on Tuesday in sixth place. Only the top four teams are guaranteed a spot in the finals in Russia in 2018, with the fifth-place finisher competing in a four-team intercontinental playoff for two spots.In its last four games, Argentina tied unimpressive Venezuela and Peru, and it lost to Paraguay at home before being dominated by Brazil.With 16 points, one back of Ecuador and Chile, Argentina is not completely out of the picture. Its biggest hurdle has been its performance, which players believe will be different against third-place Colombia.Still, the team is under so much pressure that coach Edgardo Bauza needed to proclaim his players support him after only two months on the job.The players have supported me since we started working, I see them with a tremendous will. Thats the best support I can have, Bauza said. There is no discussion about the strategy. The biggest problem is that we were scored against eight times. All the rest is easy to solve. We lost points that we werent expecting to lose.Many players voiced concerns about their play as soon as the match against Brazil ended. Psychology became the focus of a quick change.We have to change our mindset ... because this team has great players, Messi said. When ones head is not fine, the legs do not respond.So far, Argentina has scored only 11 goals -- fewer than half of the 26 scored by first-place Brazil. Only Bolivia, with nine goals, has scored fewer.To fight the struggles on offense, Bauza might replace Gonzalo Higuain with Lucas Pratto, who has often been a reserve for Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro. Argentine media has reported he could make other changes.Colombia will also be without defenders Yerry Mina and Oscar Murillo, leaving coach Jose Pekerman with three players who have never played for the national team.Here is a look at other teams in action this week:---BRAZILA win in Peru basically puts Brazil, which has 24 points through 11 games, through to Russia in 2018. It would be a shocking scenario for a team that, three months ago, was in sixth place in the South American qualifiers.Brazils expectations for the game have also changed following its lopsided victory over Argentina and eighth-place Perus 4-1 victory at Paraguay.Paulinho, who scored one of the goals against Argentina, said Brazil goes to Peru poised for its sixth consecutive win since Tite took over as the teams coach.We want to end this year well, so the first place in the group is fundamental for that, he said.Tite will not count on suspended left back Marcelo, who is likely going to be replaced by Filipe Luis.Peru will count on midfielder Christian Cueva, who played an important role in the victory against Paraguay and has emerged as one of the best players for Sao Paulo.---URUGUAYEdinson Cavani is likely to return to the starting lineup, replacing Cristhian Stuani, after missing second-place Uruguays game against Chile because of an injury.Coach Oscar Tabarez will also replace Diego Rolan with Alvaro Gonzalez, embracing a more conservative 4-4-2 strategy he has used in away games.A win at Chile nearly assures Uruguay, currently with 23 points, will advance to the World Cup finals.Chile will count on the return of striker Alexis Sanchez, and midfielder Arturo Vidal is likely to play despite a left leg injury.The Chileans were recently awarded two extra points following a FIFA ruling that said Bolivia had used an ineligible player in a 0-0 draw, but the Bolivians have appealed the decision.For now, the Copa America champions have 16 points in fifth place.Elsewhere, fourth-place Ecuador hosts last-place Venezuela and Bolivia will face Paraguay.

Virat Kohli has said he would love to play county cricket in the lead-up to the tour of England in 2018, but only a short stint might be possible with current schedules. Kohli wanted at least a months time to get used to conditions, but the IPL ends in the last week of May, and India tours to the UK generally start in the last week of June.If I have a chance, I would love to do that; love to be there, say a month or a month and a half and get used to playing in those conditions, understand how the wickets behave in that particular phase of the year, Kohli said. I think those things matter a lot. Preparation time is something, which is very crucial for any side. So yeah, if I have the opportunity to go there a few days before the start that will be great. I have actually been thinking about it, trying to work out how I can make it happen. Most definitely, if I have the time Ill go and play there.This was a great sign from the captain of a side that had become blasé about the lack of preparation time before Test tours in the recent years. If Kohli manages to squeeze in even a couple of county games before the first Test in 2018 - as opposed to nothing - he would be better equipped to handle the swing and seam prevalent in English grounds. In the 2014 tour, Kohli scored 134 runs at 13.4 in Indias 3-1 defeat.India have bounced back from that crisis with five successive series wins, but Kohli knew the regrouping wont be complete, that his side wont match his ambition, until it did well in certain conditions.We still understand we have to play a lot of cricket everywhere in the world, he said. Its not only about this one period we are going through. It looks really good because we have come out of transition and immediately started winning games. But I wouldnt take it as overconfidence. Its an on-going process, which needs to be sustained for the next five to seven or eight years for us to become a top-quality side and leave a mark on world cricket; maybe be known as one of the best teams to have assembled on the field.We want to do it across formats and make that mark for Indian cricket on the world stage. But it requires a lot of persistence and skill, a lot of hard work on your fitness, and those are the key factors that will decide where we go as a unit and as a team. We dont feel invincible, to be honest. We respect every opposition, we admit it every time we are put under pressure, and we know teams are going to put us under pressure. We appreciate that, we accept tthat and we try to find a way out of it.dddddddddddd I think thats been key for us, and its a process that should go on for another seven or eight years. Kohli spoke of his own batting with similar modesty. He has scored three double-centuries this year, has 640 runs in this series, has played scarcely believable knocks in limited-overs internationals too, and broke every record in the IPL. But he considered Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Steven Smith as better batsmen in Test cricket. Kohli, who was No. 2 on the ICC Test rankings, felt the four of them raising the bar for each other enriched the sport.They [the fans] put us in a group of young players coming up in world cricket, Kohli said. That healthy competition is great for the game. People like talking about it. It is a great topic of debate. I see people enjoy talking about it a lot and they mention it to me as well. You four-five players are exciting to watch and those sort of things. You feel good you are in a bunch of batsmen that is taking world cricket forward, not just having that healthy rivalry between us.As an individual, I dont focus on those things. It is a massive distraction. When you are going through a good phase, you want see the rankings, you want to see what people are talking about, am I in the race, and stuff like that. But you get so addicted to it that when you are not doing well, and saying things backfires and it can really put you down. To me all these are world-class players, and I have always rated each one of them higher than me, in Test cricket especially, because of the way they have performed in the last two or three years.I understood my limitations and never tried to outdo them in the longest format of the game. In shorter formats, yes, I have been doing very well. I understood what I needed to do in the longest format for me to be able to contribute the maximum for my team. Thats been my aim. My aim was never to go about Joe or Steve or Kane. I respect them equally and I think there is equal amount of respect between all of us, David [Warner] included. All of us understand and like our games.Kohli has scored runs in Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies. If he doesnt rate himself as highly as the other three in Tests, his performance in England must be the only reason behind it. County cricket could go a long way in correcting it.
