Lionel Messi Retired From Argentina International Team by Omoalaji12: 12:28am On Jun 28, 2016
Lionel Messi says he is now retired from Argentina international team, after the COPA America final loss to Chile

Lionel Messi has retired from Argentina International team and he did so in a very unattractive manner. This case may be double standards because he was not criticized at all, or as much, as we would have criticized Cristiano Ronaldo, if he had pulled this move. Messi has been very loud with his criticism of the Argentina football management since COPA America games started. He showed his displeasure when their flight was delayed from Houston to Chicago, he called the Argentina Football out on social media with a caption below the picture of himself and his teammates prior to departure to Chicago, his words shows that he thinks they are unorganized and they aren’t reliable enough. In their defense, Argentina soccer management said the delays or the difficulties that the team faced was out of their control, they blamed the weather.

We are not sure what is going on, because Messi isn’t sharing much and the Argentina football management always quick to clear all allegations against them, but we know that if this were Ronaldo’s type of move, the Internet would be so loud with criticizing him and attacks. Messi is a calm professional footballer and people have respect for him due to how he has presented himself, if he continues to despise his nation, table may turn. Should we criticize him here? After all, he dragged Argentina soccer federation management under the bus, this isn’t a well thought of retirement, especially at the time he needed his nation the most.

Messi is currently fight tax fraud case in court against Argentina government, him and his dad were in court last month and the case is still pending, he might have acted too fast in this case. He just abandoned his nation when they need him the most and when he needed their support in court; his exit from the National team will weaken Argentina’s soccer image on the pitch at the 2016 Olympics games, it may also affect their FIFA rankings, Messi is the current highest goal scorer and he is a brilliant playmaker, his absence will clearly be missed and his attitude going forward may be distasteful. The handicapper and the bookmaker will probably have wager out on Messi’s possibility of staying with the team or moving forward with retirement, if the line is available we will bring it up to you.
