I wonder if Messi would have choked if he chose Italy

He wouldn't have fit into Conte's plans

i think the only reason he didnt chose Spain is because he thought hed have better chances at winning with Argentina. hed walk to Italy if he had any chance of playing there

Kranevitter looks like a good prospect for the mid, we will see how he fares in atleti. Honestly what they really need is a good coach who can handle the afa, the press, and the players.

Yup, but that's gonna be tough as hell.
If Germany, Italy or Spain have Argentina's talent pool, they'll be winning one big tournament after another. Actually, Spain had such talents and they did win everything possible.
The western European societies make it so much easier for their athletes to win. They prepare them psychologically much better and put much less pressure on them. The Balkans are a mini version of South America, and I can imagine what the real problem is for this super talented Argentina.

should put in a cheeky 12M bid for him...just to see ADL's reaction

Then offer 9 mill when it gets turned down

Pele is a fraud.

Well, if you're talking about his business ventures after playing football, 100% correct.

Of course. But my sentiment was not about Messi, but about some of the posters here. I don't care for the guy, at all. But when people kick others when they're down, it reflects poorly on them.

Agreed on this. Schadenfreude is the worst kind of perfume.

 

[Post Ironic]

People in this thread calling Messi the best of all time

Had my laughs about Messi, but this footage is sad. You just see he can't take it anymore.

He really has the expectations of his nation on his shoulders. I have to imagine he is under insane pressure. You come from the nation of Maradona, you're told you're the best in the world, your team is ranked #1 in the world, and so people have expectations of "what's your problem?" Even when it's more the fault of a Higuain than it is of Messi. It's a pretty raw deal.

He wouldn't have fit into Conte's plans

He would definitely choose Eder over him because if his defensive running.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Portugal suck too much to win the Euros. And Ronaldo suck even more on the nt. Thank god non of these two cunts are gonna win with their nt.

Messi and Ronaldo earn a total of 200 million euros a year for PLAYING football and people still feel bad for them when they cry over a game.

He was a beast last night, when chile got the red card, they started to play better cuz Vidal covered all the midfield... A fucking beast and is a joy see him play but I still kind of hate him... I can't avoid it

To be fair, I don't get how it isn't the fault of Messi? Higuain's chance came from a Medel slip.

Messi the guy who scores more than a goal per game for Barca... Has not scored in 3 straight finals for Argentina... With extra time in all 3. In 360 minutes of football, not 1 goal, not 1 assist. He's hardly created any good chances in the 3 finals.

If you are supposed to be the best attacking player in the history of the game, playing for a powerhouse team... that's massive underperformance to say the very least.
