Aimar , Walter Samuel, Zanneti, Heinze, Alex Milito were passed their prime in 2006..
Besides Pekerman only featured Messi in just 2games in the 2006 World cup as a substitute!!!

Beside that Tournament, Messi didn't play together with them..

What did all these players you mentioned achieved for Argentina in their prime??

They were all eliminated in the group stage of 2002 World cup!!

So, what is the hype??
Its shows how ordinary messi is at Argentina, what makes him different from them , they won nothing, he won nothing.... n you say he is better than Maradona big insult.... ordinary messi. Cr7 better am by far. Bros dem no dey vote for trophy ooo, that's why he can never win ordinary copa, copa!!!! With very small strong teams, messi is a shame, four finals no one won with him playing full match, Bleep. Fake ballondior

If Eder was active in Euro 2004 final, Figo would have an international trophy by now!!!
Cristiano was a poor version of Eder in that match?? shocked

According to you, Eder is better than Eusebio or Figo grin

N if Portugal were one nil down anything might have happened, but than God he scored , cus cr7 was his idol on training ground, even cr7 homeboy made him proud, messi na bad influence....

Pele never played with Argentine Aiyegbeni!!

A team won the World cup without Pele in 1962!!

Pele simply enjoyed the 50's and 60's Football with his good teammates...

Stop overhyping him alone, he only won 1 World cup Golden ball!!

He had many all time greats as teammates!!

He has best teammates in the history of World cup!!

Drogba would win 2 World cup of he had similar teammates in such an era!!

Are we not talking about an era when 1player scorer 13 goals in a single World cup tournament??

Take your Overhype away from here!!! undecided

Clown. Why can't Messi win anything with Argentina after playing in 4 finals (3 copas and 1 WC finals)?

Pele won the wC silver ball first before winning the golden ball in the next wc. A Pele that made 4 assist in a finals??

Well if Pele is overhyped, then 3rd rated players like Cryuff are what??

Messi won fake golden ball given to him by blatter out of sympathy, after he couldn't win the WC, don't you think he's one overhyped media darling??
