  First half goals from Sergio Aguero and Messi hand the Argentinians a 2-0 lead heading into the second half, however Paraguay managed mount a comeback in the second half and clinched a point.   And the FC Barcelona forward believes they have no one else to blame but themselves.   "We were at fault in that we should have had more of the ball in the second half and controlled the match, not they.   "It's maddening to go winning 2-0 and finish with a draw.   "We should have slowed the match down when they were coming at us.   "Now we have to think about Uruguay and we know we must win. There's a lot to improve and this is only the first match, now we've got to be calmer than ever."
