So world cup 2010 doesn't count? :P Or CL Semi-finals against Bayern and Atletico Madrid in back-to-back years? :D Honestly, it's a pointless little debate. But arguing about such trivial little things is fun. All football arguments are trivial when it comes down to it.

No one is saying otherwise Seven. Dominating Iran, Bosnia, Nigeria is expected from a player of his quality. Basically disappearing for 4 matches in the knockouts, including 3 extra time matches, is horribly underperforming any way you look at it. And it's not just underperforming for a player...

They just don't remember. People get this idea that because he had some successful dribbles he was great. And they misconstrue stats like chances created that he accumulated in the group stage to be indicative of his performance in the knockouts too. He was terrible. The three worst misses of...

Pathetic. And so defensive. Switzerland. Messi highlights. He assisted the winning goal. Earlier in the match, he put 1 cross in on a free kick that gave Argentina a great header that could be construed as a chance created. A game in which Di Maria was Argentina's best attacker, and most...

Seriously. WTF is wrong with his fanboys. They can't even admit when he has bad performances. 0 goals - 1 assist in 4 matches, and they try to argue he performed well. Even Higuain scored in the knockouts. :rofl:

Whoscored is a joke with their ratings system, as are most of those ratings systems. Messi had 1 assist in 4 knockout games. That's all that needs to be said about his performance. All else is fluff. For a guy who had been scoring at a goal a game clip during group stage and qualifiers to go...

:rofl: He was a joke in the knockouts. He destroyed an incredibly easy group and then disappeared. Sorry. For a guy who scores the way he does, to have 1 assist in 4 knockout games is laughably underperforming. He went missing, missed a large number of easy chances, and created nowhere near the...

Glad you have finally seen the light! :D

:agree: And Messi was missing for the knockout round. Argentina got through through the knockouts because of defense and Di Maria.

:agree: The loser attitude would fit right in over there. - - - Updated - - - I don't know man. You said Jojo was going to do well for them, and they were scudetto contenders. :P Besides, comparing Jojo to Zaza is sacrilege. Zaza is egyptian god... Jojo is peasant labourer.

:lol:

Remember when Jovetic was such a "great signing" for Inter, and how we should've got him instead... Where is young Stevan these days? :lol:

Very good performance. Had some poor spells, and some trouble with finishing, but made it count when it mattered in the 2nd half, and controlled the entire match. Now for Viola to beat Naples at home. :weee:

You're pretty desperate for Europa League, eh? :P
