PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil (Reuters) - Qatar will not be overawed by the sight of Lionel Messi in Sunday's Copa America Group B decider against Argentina, coach Felix Sanchez said as the Asian champions eye a historic triumph to take them into the quarter-finals.

Tournament guests Qatar and 14-times winners Argentina each only have one point after two games and must win on Sunday to stand a chance of staying in the competition.
