  1. Shaka, you say messi hasn't performed for Argentina. He performed very well. He performs but just the others can't combine to produce results. He performs like he does always

  2. how many times must this be said Messi is a system player that is why he is fantastic at Barce and sucks for Argentina. He's been playing for the same team his entire career, especially when the likes of Pedro and Iniesta were around they've been playing together since they were like fourteen. I don't believe he has the ability to adapt to another team though he is a great player, He's not like Ronaldo who can adapt at any team

  3. Argentina Lost to Colombia and Brazil. They only beat Venezuela and Qatar. They don't deserve anything. Messi only wins in middle of Barcelona All-Star team. He is not a leader or can carry a mediocre team to winning. He's Not a C.Ronaldo, Zidane, Maradona, and definetely not a Pele.

  4. the problem is they are relying on one player to much instead of playing like a team sergio aguero and higuain are world class strikers but they like to take a back seat to messi instead of playing the natural game they are known for at their clubs i have never seen a team defer to one player for everything so much as argentina ,messi gets so much goals at barcelo because suarez and co don't do they play their own game which opens up the game for messi too score goals and exploits gaps on the field

  5. 5 minutes of two guys sucking Messi's cock once again after he failed to get a title with his national team! The way that the media protect Messi is utterly disgusting to say the least…

  6. All this debate about Messi and his greatness or lack of it. Makes me really sad to see so many people hating on him. I have never seen anyone play the game as beautifully as he does, from his vission to goalscoring.

  7. Who said, "a player needs to win a trophy to be considered as the greatest"??? Are they not judging a player with respect to a team's success?? And what they mean by "Messi didn't shined for his country"? He won world cup golden ball, Copa America golden ball, stats proves that he was the reason Argentina qualified for three world cups. Individually he did everything a player could do. Is it his fault AFA is corrupted? is it his fault respectable players like Maradona doing politics every time Argentina play a big tournament? Is it his fault that his no 9 can't finish the easiest tap ins in three consecutive International finals? Is it his fault that Sampaoli can't choose the right players to build a team?

    Time will fly, but we will still won't appreciate Lionel Messi's greatness which he deserves. The man is too much perfect for all these bullshit criticisms.

    Tell me any other player is compared to the greatest goal scorers(strikers), greatest passers(midfielders) and greatest dribblers(entertainers) of all time at the same time?? And he is doing all these with such a great way for such a long time with great consistency!!! And also he doesn't dive, doesn't play act, doesn't show off, doesn't cheat, never talk shit about others. He tries so hard on maintaining a balanced perfect life on and off the field.

    Still, people hate him….!!! The world is really corrupted.

  8. 2019 states of both Messi and Ronaldo

    Messi: 41 Apps, 18 Assists, 43 Goals

    Ronaldo: 37 Apps, 10 Assist, 25 Goals

    It would be a disgrace to the sport if Messi doesn’t win the Ballon d’or. Despite how many trophies Ronaldo won this season as the Ballon d’or is the “best player of the year” award.

    With all due respect to Ronaldo, Messi should win this year’s Ballon d’or.

  9. Brazil has won!!!brazil is in the final but noooooo talkin about that.only fuckin messi messi.ESPN U ARE ONE SIDED!!!!U NEVER TALK ABOUT BRAZIL AND IF U TALK ABOU BRAZIL THAN ONLY NEGETIVITY!!!!FUCKIN JEALOUS!!!! STILLL DONT FORGET BRAZIL IS 5 TIMES WORLD CHAMPION!!!!AM VERYYYY DISSAPOINTED WITH URE CHANNEL

  10. the issue is not whether argentina lost or what ,its juss a simple ask ,why was var not consulted ,an answer would be helpful ,and stop this circling around of ronaldo fans
