There are differences when you use Torres as an example. Both teams he played for Torres was the centre of attention, the team was setup for him.
Forlan, Morientas or Kanoute was not given the same role Torres had Atletico or Pool.
He is an amazing player, but just because he is an amazing player, doesn't mean he has the mental toughness to be THE centre of attention and the Messiah(tm) of a team that would have fallen apart without their Golden Boy. A Maldini he is not.
PS: Just watched the highlights of the Argentina game. Messi's goal looked so easy, I seriously had the impression a child would be able to do it. The whole gamut of their style of play was flawless. Pure footy, at it's very best. *sigh*
