الملكي فوق الله: Nah...he needs that World Cup Win to Solidify it.

Last World Cup the argies had enough offense.

But their defense was absolute garbage. No Backline

Messi Can't be elevated to number 1..{especially over Maradona} without an Argentinean World Cup Triumph
Heinze,Samuel,Cambiasso,Zabaleta! Their defense is not as bad as advertised! Plus IMO they have the best attack on the planet! How can one country have Messi,Tevez,Aguero,Milito,Higuain,Di Maria! Its unfair grin grin abeg Messi has to win the WC no one should even try that Argentina don't have enough talent line

Last World Cup their Offense was Electric

You can tell their is a lot of resentment and jealousy on the part of many Argies towards Messi

They all want to be the Star.

Messi definitely needs that World Cup win to solidify his greatness. {imo}

What do you mean by resentment and jealousy? So,you mean their talents should be sacrificed on the altar of messi's glory,like they do in barca? Nonsense!

Messi Has no excuse for not having a world cup trophy to his name

If a team of di maria ,militto ,higuain ,tevez and aguero is not a good team then there is no such thing as a good team

and what is all this nonsense of maradonna being jealous of him that is baby talk .as far as i am concerned pele is way better than messi as it stands

will messi surpass pele ? that we dont know but lets wait till the end of messi's carrier before jumping into conclusions

They would have gone far in the last world cup but for their clueless coach. Imagine how the spanish team would have fared at the world cup if they had Maradona as their head coach.

i must agree that argentina had a very good squad at SA 2010. though they had a bad manager, everything was going very well for them until they met germany. in that germany game they were not outclassed in any way, they conceeded a very early goal form a romero(goal keeper) mistake and they dominated until the last 15 mins or so when germany then killed them on the counter. then argentina had a pretty good squad but now? the squad is still very bad. yes you have got tevez, higuian, aguero, de maria, milito but only one of them should even play alongside messi. what about the defence? what about the attack? definitely full of mediocre players, definitely not a world cup standard.

True they had a bad manager I wouldn't argue that! But up till when they met Germany they where rolling (they even beat this same Germany in a friendly just before the World Cup in Germany) and the manager was not the issue then they had beaten Mexico 3-1 in the previous round and so everyone was expecting Argentina to somehow squeeze through
As for the game. Come on man they where thoroughly outclassed! Its not even funny how bad Germany made them look. Their attack is the best on the planet I maintain
The margin of quality between Germany's defence and Argentina is minute
Neuer was a rookie, Arne Friedrich? Boateng another rookie, Mertesacker is hardly world class so for me I don't buy the whole Argentina had a horrible defence argument! Brazil won the world cup with Roque Junior and an aging Cafu at the back

PLaying Selfish Football and trying to compete and outshine your own teammate is not going to get you any "Glory"

Shall i remind you that during the midst of Barca Players supposedly sacrificing this "Glory"...all so Messi could achieve his "Glory"...That the Actual "Team" Fc Barcelona Themselves became...

.....:::Glorious:::....

.....?

Tevez...Kun and the rest of those arge midgets aren't half the players Xavi and Iniesta are/were...yet they have 4 times the Egos.

If much better players than them can sacrifice for the better of the club.....Then why should they not as well?.

Going 1 vs 5 in the box hasn't gotten them anywhere.

Take a Seat Brah.
