My brother that GOAT � debate can finally be put to rest jare. Haba, the only thing Ronaldo fans always go back to is that Messi has never won a major trophy for Argentina. Yes major trophy for the country is important but it's a collective trophy not individual. Ok now that Messi has 1, it has become very difficult for Ronaldo fans to try to argue who's the real goat. Just take a look.

Ronaldo has NEVER won best player in any international competions and he has played in 4 world cups and 5 European championships. Messi has played 4 world cups and 6 Copa America, won best player in world cup 2014 and best player in Copa America 2015 and 2021. Ronaldo won euros 2016 but greizmann won best player. He won Nations league but bernado was the best player. There is no argument who the real GOAT is here.

Respect to the G.O.A.T.

It was clear from the ecstatic Argentina celebrations at full-time, with Messi the focal point, that this squad's drive to triumph against their old rival was as much for their legendary forward as it was the nation.

It has been 15 years since Messi first represented Argentina at a major tournament and after four World Cups and six Copa America appearances, taking in 53 matches, he finally has the major international title he - and his country - has craved.

Despite being one of the most decorated and brilliant players of the modern era - and arguably all time - with 10 La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and six Ballons d'Or, questions over his lack of impact on the international stage have hung over his legacy.

BMC people sef. You rooted for Brazil yesterday. Suddenly you are showering love on Messi. Messi don shame all of una

First of all congratulations to Argentina for winning the 2020 Copa America, this is a huge victory for them especially messi despite all the near winning encounters and multiple Finals lost in the hands of their rivals

1. Delay is not Denial
Argentina last won the Copa America in 1993 and has lost seven finals since then. This didn't deter them from focusing on their game and bringing out the best in them to ensure they break the trophy drought. As we can see a lot of people were happy for Argentina as if it was their ever first trophy (well it is, especially to the players). Whatever you're doing as long as no one gets hurt just continue cause it will surely pay off just one day. you may not get it right at first but with consistency you will conquer.

2. Love your critics
We all saw how messi was being criticized cause he hasn't won any major international trophy, that was his major driving force to give this tournament his best and what happened ?? It finally paid off. Critics can sometimes motivate people towards success, so you have to love them.

3. Always put in your best in everything Argentina had the chance of winning this Copa America twice against a less competitve but stubborn chile but they bottled it, if they had won at least one of those finals back then it would have given them a more composed atmosphere and confidence but that wasn't what we saw cause Argentina played under pressure yesterday but we're happy they won.

4. Teamwork is ​Strength
Despite Brazil been the better team and the Argentines playing under pressure, their teamwork was commendable, from the tackles, saves, attack, all of them blended well, no one was left out (including messi).

What Did you learn from the match ??
Add yours

-DannyXpress-

May you live long..Ise

Messi is the top scorer in agertina history the top assist provider in agertina history.
He was a golden ball winner at the world cup
He was the golden ball winner at 3 copa America
He was the golden ball winner under 20
He was the golden ball winner at the Olympics

Supposedly He won the world cup at 2014
Supposedly he won won the copa back to back with Argentina 2015/2016
He would have easily be the best player in agertina history.


If football was rated individual this season then messi has no equals this season
* league top scorer
* most assist
* most man of the match
* most goals involvement

CopA America
* Top scorer
* most assist
* most goals involvement
* golden ball winner

He has set his standard so high that this season seems like a poor season to us but
In reality
Any other player with this stat would easily claim d balloon do or
But balloon dor or is now base on trophy
Which keep kante and ledwadosky ahead of him.



It shall be well with you and all that concerns you.
I don't know how much I need to explain to all Messi haters that no matter how they like to put it? Stats don't lie. Messi is not just a class above others, he his simply in A place where no footballer can reach in this generation

Lies. It's a disgrace he is just wining his first Copa Americana at this age despite playing for a whole Argentina in a tournament with relatively weak competition. This is something Argentina should have won at least 4 times in Messi's career. You can't compare it to the Euro's which CR7 has won almost single handedly. Nobody call Messi better than Ronaldo because of this because it's Apples and Oranges.

I bet you Portugal can not survive a copa america group stage talkless of reaching a final 4 good times.

The present illuminaties uses football to engage the masses and take their minds away from their inherent abjectness like the Roman emperors used gladiator fights in their time.

It's the same bullshit over and over again- the jeering and cheering spectators, gladiators(players) and the puppet masters in the state boxes and behind the scene.

Sometimes it's just too overhyped as if it's a feat that can solve hunger problems in Africa.

Congrats Messi!
As much as I have laughed at his lack of international trophies for senior national team in the past, it was very heart warming to see him finally and deservedly win one. Interestingly, there were many Brazilians who were also rooting for Messi in this final (I’m sure they were also Barca fans).

Messi was created and born to play football,
the others came to this world to learn the game, and they mastered it....rightly so anyways.


This is the ONLY difference between Messi and the rest, that many people do not understand!

MESSI is the G.O.A.T.
