This is great news

Argentina needs to build a team without Messi, then when Messi is added they have a super team

The fact is that until Messi retires he can always have a spot in Argentina national team. What Argentina needs is to build a team that can hold themselves and play without Messi. After this, they can bring back Messi to increase the team.

I don't know who this new manager is but I love him already

All I know is that Ronaldo is better than messi...

your GOAT doesn't know how it feels to appear in a world cup final.

GOAT dey never near world cup final.

The only final portugal could win was without him at euro 2016.

Rubbish GOAT.

Argentina is finished!

IntrovertedK:
what else does he need? 5 european golden boot, La - liga goal record, europe goal record. A feat one penalty taker can not achieve till he'd be frustrated out of the world of football.

And how many national accolade as a senior player 4d Abisceltes??

How would you have felt reading the bible and you came across a verse which read and Moses brought the people of Isreal out of Egypt and they perished in the red sea.

What is the essence of bringing them to the final if he knew he wouldn't win them?

That is how Messi has been to his country side.

lol.. Ronaldo has nothing to his name except europe all time scorer, uefa champions league scorer and assist. Messi, highest goal for a club football season in europe, 50 goals record in a club league in europe, highest goal in a calendar year (world), and he is also ruling copa America as ronaldo is ruling europe with goals. same in highest goal. Ronaldo is the first player to win 4 european golden boot buh now Messi has 5 european golden boot to his name which is still the highest to be earned (won) by a player so far in history, he is tied with one old player which i can't remember his name at the moment. Why do you think penaldo had to leave spain? It's because of the european golden boot, he wants to equal Messi knowing fully well that it might not be possible anymore in Madrid and with Juve, he knows he might likely score hundred goals in a season. Ronaldo has never broke any record with any club (be it England or Spain) buh the media has bn deceiving you his fans since time immemorial. Ronaldo broke Telmo Zarra and Hugo Sanchez goal record in La-liga in 2010/11 season with 41 goals to win his first Pinchichi trophy which equals him with messi on the award that same year, following season, Messi had to re-set the record at 50 (which is the record of highest goal in europe for a club league in a season) and now Messi have 4 pinchchi trophies and this year, he'd surely equal Telmo Zarra. Buh yet your Media will always tell you what you want to hear about Ronaldo, telling you lies about fake record breaking feat. He did not break any record in Portugal, England and not even Spain byh maybe he will do in Italy sha. Where am i missing. Please do remind me thanks.

Lemme lecture you oga.. Let's start from their youth life..

U - 20 World cup 'Netherlands 2005' - Gold (and he won, The golden ball as the best player of the tournament) it's bn long Tapnaldo has bn missing in action for portugal..

U - 20 South America Champions - Bronze

Olympic Games 'Beijing 2008' - Gold

World cup 'Brazil 2014' - Silver (also win the golden ball as the best player of the tournament)

Copa America, 2007, 2015, 2016 - silver.

While your headnaldo doesn't even know what world cup finals look like since his youth age. Hahahahahaha. And then Portugal won '2016 Euro' without self acclaimed 'G.O.A.T' who couldn't bring them out successfully from group stage without bn picked as Group best looser behind Iceland.. Lol. The self acclaimed 'G.O.A.T' should hide his face in shame. Yet the media knows how to deceive his supporters worldwide by telling them what they want to hear (lies), he broke this record, broke that record when actually all is pathetic lies. Smh.

Most time I wonder if Messi fans knows what exactly are International Trophies.

None of the stuff you wrote here are regarded as one perhaps we can't dispute the fact that he won them since he played during the competition.

Ronaldo stayed in La LIGA for nine years and won it only twice....Messi won it 7 times in his presence....Over the past 9 years, Messi has 3 UCL, Ronaldo has 4, Messi has been to 3 international finals, Ronaldo has been to one, he did win but his team fared better without him...Remember it was the same Chile that beat Argentina twice that still beat Portugal in Confederations cup under the same circumstances ....Coming down to the world cup now, has Ronaldo ever been to a quarter final as a talisman,? his four goals were more useless than Messi's four goals in 2014...You can also point out that the two teams that beat Argentina, Croatia and France, eventually made the final... You say Ronaldo has more career goals Abi?
Well we will count messi's goals when reaches 33 years and compare it to a Ronaldo of 33 years.... Go and ask Ferguson- the man that discovered Ronaldo who the better player is between the two, you may be surprised

Every Tom dick and Harry now wants to be a blogger. You just pick the points that you like leaving out the fact that the coach's plan is to test the young talents in the Argentines team.

Ronaldo's first season was 2009/10 get that right.

You counting goals when he reaches 33 doesn't stop the fact that the gap will keep increasing has time goes on

I am still standing with the fact that he an international trophy than Messi despite Messi reaching more finals than him at international level.

in Mexico 86 valdano valuable and buruchaga were on hand to help maradona on the final

In France 98 Thurman and blanc were there to help Zidane

In Japan 2002 ronaldinho and rivaldo were there to help ronaldo

In 2010 xavi and David villa were there to help iniesta when he was having a bad game

In 2014 Miller and Ozil and kroos were there to help neuer lift the trophy

Just here in 2018 Pogba and Griezman were superb to help Mbappe win the world cup for France.


That's how international tournaments have always been.

Teams win not individuals



Even at that little euro 2016 Eder and Pepe were there to deliver while ronaldo was carried off on a stretcher.


Be sensible.

lol.. Why is it all built around manchester united alone oga Hun? What hapened to Man. United to the world like did analyse Messis' record to you, at least it was all winning from barcelona to defeat/conquer europe football. And at bolded, shebi i told you earlier that the media has bn deceiving you long ago. If ronaldo was the first and only Man. United player to win 'FIFA world player of the year' then what happened to the same award Peter Schmeichel won in 1992 And Puskas award was introduced by FIFA in year 2009 and Ronaldo won the first maiden while playing for manchester United, if it had bn introduced long ago, there is a man that once had 32 goals in a club season for manchester which i have forgotten his name, he holds the highest goal scoring record for man. U for highest goal scored in a league season.

And what elso do you say, you said, he is the first and only Man. U player to have won european golden boot buh you forgot the award was introduced only in 1996/97 season, elliot (i can't remember his real name, don't know if i am right or wrong) would have won the award back in those days if the award had bn introduced earlier.

And thank God you 'prolly forget' to say another lie of him bieng the first and only Man. United to ever win Ballon D'or, i'd have asked you if you've collected the ones awarded to Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law and George Best. And if bieng sold for an expensive amount is a criteria of being the G.O.A.T, then why don't you give it to Pogba as Juve best ever player in history and also Neymar the real G.O.A.T.

And the award won by Ronaldo in 2009 as UEFA club footballer of the year had bn won by Becham in 1999.

I'm a die hard Manchester fan, you just can't cajole me into believing all the lies the media as bn feeding you about penaldo all year.

And for your information, Tapnaldo despite, tap -ins, penalties hold no other record in Spain. All was won and will still be win by the G.O.A.T himself. Your penaldo was frustrated out of Spain that he had to beg Madrid to sell him knowing fully well he might be lucky to meet Messi records in Europe playing in that league.

Think you just realized the bolded after your first comment.

So,let blame his inability to win an international trophy on his team mates for lacking a team spirit right?

Don't forget this same team were the ones that played through out the qualification stages.

and how was the qualification stages for them?

Argentina lost 90 percent of the games messi missed and win 90 percent of the games he played.

Messi scores over 80 percent of argentina's goals in the qualifiers; a team that had Aguero, Higuain, Dybala and De Maria.

Before Aguero's goal against iceland, nobody besides messi had scored for argentina in 16 months.
And the last person who scored 16 months before was assisted by Messi.

Argentina has a lot of talents but the work load and reliance on Messi is insane.

When La liga don start? Make I hear say Messi play friendly
