true, he ist still the best and most gifted footballer and carrying a shit team will have its limits one day

i mean just look at the line up today
that coach sends the team out there with just 2 finished 30+ year old central midfielders against modric, rakitic and brozovic

that was suicide from the beginning

Yeah, and portugal can at least defend. They've got a decent centre mid pairing with Moutinho and Carvalho too. Meanwhile, Banega was sitting on the bench and Argentina were playing 5-0-5. Last WC they had a bad coach too who took off Lavezzi at HT in the final against your boys, when he was the 2nd best player on the pitch after Messi. At the end of the day, this doesn't negatively affect Messi's legacy.

WTF? Is this your first time watching him play?

You need to figure the shit you say out before you say it. He has always and will always be garbage for Argentina. Argentina have by far the most dangerous attack in the planet. But since the players don't play for Messi the way Barca does, he can't do shit.

It's not like he's Argentina's all time top scorer, carried them to the final 4 years ago and carried them to qualification for this world cup.

Oh wait...

Carried? Did you watch the world cup in Brazil? Dude was abysmal in the knockout stages. Di Maria scored after extra time Vs. Swtiz in the 1/8 stage. Higuain scored Vs Belgium in the 1/4 finals. They went to PK's vs. Netherlands after a 0-0 bout. And he didn't do shit Vs. Germany.

How the hell can you say he carried them?

Better yet, what did he do that justifies you saying he carried them?

Did you just box score the game and saw Messi won MOTM and that's how you figure he carried them? Dude gtfo of here with that bs.

they do have crazy good strikers, who are pretty much on their own

He kept them ticking, everything they did went through him. That's why he's a different class to a Ronaldo - in addition to being a great goalscorer he's also a great playmaker.

Don't know why you're quite so butthurt about this, is it because I said Mexico weren't a top team? They aren't. You should know by now that it's coming home.

No shit sherlock. I expected to lose Vs. Germany. And I also expected to go out in the 1/8 round vs Brazil.

But your argument for carrying them is that he kept them ticking? Wow dude. I don't even know why i'm bothering. Keep on thinking whatever you want to think.
