Why are you all not talking about the viceous elbow that Otemendi threw and busted up Rafinha's mouth. The ref and the VAR official has been suspended by Conmebol for not issuing a redcard. Argentina has been on a violent campeign against Brasil WHICH HAS TO STOP! It is all BULL. If it were messi you all would be shouting "MURDER". It is racism in football. That darn "criminal" Ortemendi also kicked Allison in the face. Those rascals!
Messi only really cares about winning with argentina
it was molina not montiel you eurocentric pompous pricks
Since the semifinals of the Copa América on 6 July 2021, including this one, Messi has played 9 games, scoring 4 goals, 3 of them against Bolivia and 1 against Uruguay. 1 assist in the semifinal of the Copa de América against Colombia and 8 consecutive games for Argentina without an assist. For PSG, no goals in the French League, just 3 goals in the Champions League and no assists in all competitions for PSG. Now, compare this pathetic stats with those of Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and so many others. It seems that the 2021-22 won't count at all for Messi for receiving another undeserved Ballon d'Or. Apparently, the Copa América which finished on the 10 July is suddenly the greatest and most important competition in football and therefore Messi must win the Ballon d'Or. Such a shame once more. The closing votes for the Ballon d'Or finished on 24 October. Robert Lewandowski is the only worth winner and by a lot of margin.
Argentina's defense being so rough can be a problem, in South America it's ok, but at the world cup its a straight red, just saying

Brazil with many options and without Casemiro and Neymar is still very dangerous. Argentina doesn't have a squad like Brazil, if it loses Messi or one of its main players, it doesn't have the slightest chance of winning the World Cup.
Argentian still needs a point to qualify for the WorldCup; please get your facts correct.
Ale for some role in Narcos!!!!!
When was the last time that Messi scored a goal or made an assist? Ballon d'Or? ??????
Argentina plays like they gonna kill u, love the passion of the team… Can't wait for world cup.
If healthy every player should play ?
Messi hasn't done anything with psg or argentina for like ages now is messi ballondor comtender
He’s still probably gonna pick up the ballon dor in 2 weeks. I doubt this will bother him
Messi play terrible in last 5 match for Argentina his favourite opponent is Bolivia but media never talk about that.
Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Ole's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. MAN UNITED ARE BACK!!
Football is not football any more with Argentina it is WWF. You do not talk about the nasty elbow by Ortemendi to the mouth of Rafinha that drew blood and knocked Rafina to the ground! You ESPN pundits ESPECIALLY "latino" Moreno seem to support this MAYHEM by Argentino against Brasil. By the way the entire officiating team have been SUSPENDED for not issueing a card for that aweful foul. This is Argentinas tactic to intimidate Brasil because they cannot beat them fairly.
Messi media is so shameless.
He was garbage and that is his level now. Finished player.
Brazil were robbed by FIFA ref.
he wasn't fully fit that's why the question is being asked…not because of his ability
Messi should play for Argentina coz he hardly get to play with PSG he is out of place with too many superstars nobody wants to defend
Messi & Barca fans , do subscribe here !!!!
Shaka totally agrees with mrs Moreno on the suit
Why not? He is still better than most players atm
It’s not just about his performance,Messi is a symbol of “Hope” for them✨.His presence on the pitch gives the assurance of positive result.Rhey believe “We have our Leo with us ,we have our G.O.A.T with us.Everything will be fine”.
Messi presence give them the peace of mind and they also give their best for Messi because they love Messi .
So,Messi isn’t important just for his performance,his importance transcends his performance ✨
Fred's needs to be partnered with a DM to shine like he does for Brazil.
Things just aren’t the same since messi moved on to Paris
Why was Shaka making that face during Ale's section on the show, lol?
Goatbappe is clear of messi and Ronaldo
Vinni got schooled by Romero. You guys don't understand South American football
Coach know what to do. He don't need outsiders advice
I would give this a thumbs down because of the title, but I don't want the YouTube algorithm to put it at the top of searches …
ESPN FC Again With More Thrash
Playing with Messi feels like playing with 10 men these days. 90% of the time he's just ball watching, hardly gets the ball and these days, he doesn't try to even recover the ball when he gets dispossessed or gives bad passes. I used to be a huge fan, but his work rate has gone down significantly. It's sad but true.
Honestly I think probably an European team will win , no disrespect to Brazil or Argentina, but the difference between South American football and European football is abysmal
Someone to tell him to stfu! anyone, a producer, camera guy, the wife, anyone please!
Yes he should so he can get that chemistry wit Argentina to win the world cup
Yes he did.
He didn't want to be like penaldo and going for play offs agianst electricians and plumbers ??
I bet Jules haven’t played football in his life .
Worst game ever
SHAKA: Messi is a joke he is not at all the best player, but Modric is the best and the greatest player in the history of football , every year modric deserve s the bollon dor
Messi is finished
