I don't want Messi to win a NT trophy because he was given a million extra chances to do so and it's not fair.
I guess. But if he has the game of his life and wins it, then how can it be said that he didn't earn it? He played great against Colombia.

I just loathe arrogance, and Neymar is the definition of it. To me, it should never be rewarded.

The hate is toward Messi fan boys anyway. We will never hear the end of it.

Neymar already won the Olympics so it doesn’t really matter. But it does matter for Messi who has failed at every opportunity he had.

I don’t really hate anybody but the so called greatest of all time not winning a single trophy even though he had a thousand tries would have a stain on his career. Even more because of where he’s from and what Maradona represents to his people.

Uhhhh... the articles that talk about "Argentina and Lionel Messi winning"... as if they're separate.

Oh it's final already. Brazil and Argentina, colour me surprised.

Even the game itself doesn't have much meaning, it's still big thing for those countries. Nobody in europe really gives a damn about who's the champion is, but as a game there's 2 best teams from SA so it could be a good one. Might actually sneak in.

I really dont get this logic: did he decide how often Copa America is arranged ?

I do agree about the fanboys tho, they will probably talk about a potential victory forever. Dont see it happening tbh, Brazil has too strong of a Squad to lose

Then again do people value a copa america as highly as a WC or Euros? Not really, it's a Niché trophy for people outside South America
Doesn’t matter how people outside of SA value it it’s about what he represents to his people. How they see it.The WC is obviously the biggest achievement but a CA still gives him the merit of winning something important for his country.

It's harder to win the UEFA Nations League than it is to win the Copa America.

And the sky is blue? :rolleyes:

I mean there’s no comparison it’s not even fair. In SA there’s Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay and once in a blue moon you’ll see a strong Chile/Colombia/Paraguay.

In Europe you could name somewhere between 4-8 1st tier teams, another 4-6 who are almost at the same level and maybe even another 4 who aren’t as great but still good.

And if we’re gonna talk WC football and you take Brazil out of the equation it’s getting close to 40 years since another South American side won it.

Well, it is the 2nd most prestigious continental trophy (also the oldest intl competition), and overall 3rd most prestigious international trophy, so it's not nothing either.
