Argentina is now the BENFICA of national football. 4 finals with no show.


Copa america final Brazil vs Argentina 2007

World cup final Germany vs Argentina 2014

Copa America final Chile vs Argentina 2015

Copa America final Chile vs Argentina 2016


They all have one thing in common. Figure it out!

Argentina always as the away side. What an omen?

Although am not a Messi Fan but am highly disappointed in him quitting because of losing 4 finals no one blamed him for the loss even Lucas Biglia , a Chilean too lost a penalty that made it even before his team mate now lost another. Messi as we can see is just a product of natural talent as i will always compare him with Rolando you need to watch the match Croatia vs Portugal if Ronaldo said he would quit the Portugal national team i will be happy cos the way his team mate played was annoying but messi on the other hand plays with fine set of players (aguero di maria, higuain ,mascherano ) and yet he wants to quit at his prime. Am sure if messi where to be Ronaldo he would have killed himself due to criticism cos CR7 always faces criticism even his Fans booed him at times considering him being one of the best footballers if not the best yet he would come out stronger. When you talk about a complete player give it to Cristiano Rolando cos he is just the best. Quitters never wins ,winners never Quit.. HalaCR7

Lionel Messi broke down in tears Sunday night as Argentina suffered another tournament heartbreak to Chile at Metlife stadium. The lasting moment of the Copa America Centenario may be Messi missing in the penalty kick shootouts and then breaking down in tears. But now that may also be the lasting image of the 29-year-old superstar in an Argentina uniform.

Following the loss, Messi, in the heat of the moment, shockingly announced that he is quitting national team.

"It is difficult, the time is hard for any analysis. In the dressing room I thought the selection was completed for me, it is not for me," Messi said, per Argentina's social media account.

#Messi: "Es difícil, el momento es duro para cualquier análisis. En el vestuario pensé que se terminó para mí la Selección, no es para mí".— Selección Argentina (@Argentina) June 27, 2016


More to come as the story develops.
In shocking turn of events, Messi retires from international play.

Breaking news: "All those fans who were flying high criticising C.Ronaldo in EURO, have now landed so badly and crashed into peaces, after Messi flop in Copa America, sending the ball into another planet as they usually say"

U called someone dat led his team all d way to d finally with strings of goals and assists a flop.. U re a joker

Lol. So players like ricardo quaresma, sanchez, pepe are not world class?? Please spare me your biased analysis.

Is it not same CR7 that cried bitterly like a frustrated kid when portugal lost against greece in 2014 euro final?

Messi made 3 finals and yet never deemed it for once to express his emotion openly. He is just human and he made such statement knowing fully well he can't bare the emotion of loosing 4 straight international defeat in finals.

If CR7 were to be Messi, he would have quit after last year copa loss.

Quick one, I like both players.

MESSI IS STILL THE KING OF FOOTBALL .EVEN CR7 ACKNOWLEDGES THAT....FOOTBALL WORLD IS GONNA MISS HIM





......LETS STOP THIS GIBBERISH COMPARISON.

Honesty007:


don't waste ur time Bro,Messi has finally decided.I once wrote an articule about Messi and Mikel=Prodigy and tradegy.well both have prodigy but started in place of one another.Nemesis seems to catch up with Messi where it hurts most.What brought Messi into Limelight was cheating Nigeria of that U20 world cup!!!
What u sow u reap.
I remember The way Mikel cried that day!!! Mikel cried earlier,now Messi is crying Late.
The comparision between two players is indescribable,but how they started is what matters talkless of how they end.
The corrupt Fifa has always be Favouring messi,now that sepp and platini has gone,i ask you did u hear anything about Messi outside barcelona

grow up man! Have u forgotten dat Ronaldo won his 2nd ballon d'or due to extension of votes by d same sepp blatter? And he won it with dat yeye playoff against Sweden when his mates have already qualified?? NB balon d'or iI prolly on votes, just dat sepp blatter just cannot hide his love for Messi as a footballer just like we.

Had ronaldo been to four finals with Portugal and lose all four, he would've probably say the same.. Messi is human and humans can snap to a certain extent when in a devastating situation.

Watch the highlights of the match here

Messi lead an injury hit Argentina (no aguero,dimaria,higuain) and read d finals, losing to a star studded Germans on extra tym after 90mins. And he won the mVP at 2014 world cup. Portugal is an experienced team too, and portugese league is atop notch! So NO EXCUSE. Messi is the greatest!

I feel sorry for him tho...

Irrespective of all these hatred and tantrums,from ronaldo critics,u all will still tell ur kids and grand kids about how blessed and exciting it was to see messi play and how he made ronaldo stand on his toes every season,how he lost 4 finals but defeated nigeria in 2 finals to help argentina,how he never won the world cup,same with ronaldo who got his best years with Deco n figo,how they both broke records and made football exciting,no matter how much u hate messi,hes just 29yrs old and wrote his name in the sand of times years ago,some of u haven't even gotten a car at 30 sef and u dey beef am,appreciate talents and enjoy d game,its not a war.

My problem is he retired early,argentina has a young team springing up,a team that still has a chance of winning trophies with him in 2018 2019 world cup and copa.and for those of u running insults,higuain and aguero are the main reasons y argentina never won d copa nd world cup,they had chances to kill that game but kept missing chances.

did you watch all portugal's match especially last match it was boring the players were woeful you cant compare a quaresma to a record breaking aguero or a fine Dimara to nani. This past season Ronaldo was criticised ,booed by his own fans they even said he doesnt score away they even threw things at him but Ororo never quits.. Cr7 is messi's godfather

Friends, pls can somebody just help me. How post news on nairaland..

openmine:
Yes he has... the euro championship dat was hosted by Portugal...

Guy you can lie Oo, greece won that euro not portugal

Nothing do u MR BARCELONA......But its pain me more MR LEGEND

When did it turn to yearly competition? Some of you folks need to get out of your comfort zone and learn. Copa America is an event hosted every four years; this year's was to celebrate 100years since inception.
