Exactly!

Messi has performed well in other international competitions, winning MVP awards so it's not a new thing. The main objective now is to get that Copa America trophy! I don't even care about his performance.. I don't!

Just get that trophy.

Olamyyde:

Messi has done his fair share of carrying Argentina through the 2014 wc, 2015&2016 copa america and 2018 wc qualifiers. There is no shame in him being carried now. It's not easy carrying the biggest club in the world and Argentina at the same time at 32 years old. Unlike our anal rapist that has been carried by bernardo silva and nobodies like eder and guedes in his national team.

Gentlewarrior1:
Lol. Abeg make messi shine against Brazil and also go on to win this copa final


But still yet bitch ass haters go still find reason to lament. Maybe this time they will talk about Qatar being the reason why he won it

he still remains G O A T ; )

nihilistjnr:


They gave the man the expo, put him in a room alone, no invigilator, and got the man who set the questions on speaker phone, and Messi still failed Jamb

Abeg make una close door o.

See tesppidd, bykelabyke, ikon360 and tlona1 trying to sneak out of the thread...

LordAdamX:
Cules what's the new excuse?

Because e don pass pity, na shame remain for Messi.

See the fraud wen una b dey prop up for Balon D'Or?

-Lord

nihilistjnr:


Well the record is, he hasnt won it...because xavi and iniesta have retired

Hamid7:
Cules let's ignore all the hate-filled dullards.
If Messi win, e pain them. If Messi lose, na im pain them pass.

Common guys, follow me to Barcelona... We'll win trophies there. YIMU

A goat is not a trophy.

You cannot hang a goat on the wall.

You cannot put your goat in a trophy cabinet

You cannot drink champagne out of a goat

Unlike a trophy, you cannot leave a goat near your food and reasonably expect to go and come back to meet your food untouched.

Unlike a trophy, a goat will die one day.

A goat is not a trophy.

tesppidd:
Which of these trophies is the world cup?

The first or the second?


GOATs and Euros or Some Nations' league cannot possibly be found in one sentence.

usbcable:

I am starting to feel pity for the guy sha.

Hope he doesn't go into depression

nihilistjnr:


So its a living breathing goat that is now your own trophy.

I thought Messi was a professional football, not olusho agutan

tesppidd:
With

A record 4 man of the match awards at one World Cup for Argentina

A record 5 man of the match awards at all World Cups

A record 3 man of the match awards at one Copa America

A record 5 man of the match awards at Copa America for Argentina

All time Top Scorer and Assist maker for Argentina

Best player at the FIFA World Cup 2014


Individually Messi has done more than his best for Argentina.

Time to quit.

He cannot play his own and play other people's own to win a team trophy.

I think it's time for Messi to call time on his career with the Albiceleste.

Some things are never meant to be.

So many GOAT contenders have certain disappointments in their careers.
That luck element in football would always be there.

Football went political specially since the last decade.

Pele, Maradina, Zidane, Ronaldo De Lima and Ronaldonho never went through all this scrutiny.

In their days, European football was never this divisive and football 'fanship' not this prominent.

Nowadays for instance the whole of England could hate a player just for scoring a hattrick against them, or for dumping an English team out of an European competition.

Today if Messi won 3 world cups and played all his life for River Plate, thousands would Call for him to prove himself in Europe.

If Messi won the world cup and everything under the influence of cocaine thousands would protest for him to prove himself without the coke.

If Messi won the world cup and never won the champions league thousands would Call for him to prove himself in the so-called greatest competition the champions league.


The only time Messi ever had decent team mates was at the 2014 world cup.

Ever since then Argentina has experimented with rookies and newbies tournament after tournament.


At the 2018 world cup against an already devastating Croatian side, all the Albiceleste could muster in their starting line up was;
Cabellero, Mercado, Otamendi, Tagliafico, Salvio, Perez, Acuna, Meza, Mascherano.

Last night; Saravia, Tagliafico, Otamendi, Pezella, De Paul, Acuna, Paredez, Martinez,.

Who da Bleep are these people?


Like i said, some things are not meant to be;

Not winning a SENIOR trophy with Argentina does not degrade his status as top 3 greatest footballers of all time.

Neimar:
just see as dem dy insult Messi
everybody knew Brazil was going to beat Argentina
nr be today e start
I was just hoping for a miracle

Neymar1095:
baba keep shut. Your Messi is a fraud.
