  1. CONMEBOL is a corrupt body..no doubt about it..but CONMEBOL must think that if they ban Messi..the Copa becomes so dull no one will watch it.. Messi is the reason billions watch Argentina & Barcelona.

  2. Why is it every British fool and “American” announcer always has negative to talk about Argentina?
    How about men’s USA sucks? How about England never winning another cup? Ohhhh yea don’t talk about your own. Glass houses….

  3. Pressure is on him an he can feel it coz it knocking him down he trys to play one two passes but stil his teammate are damn sleepy that kills the umf of the top player blve me I've been there

  4. 2014 clearly di maria was the best player in Argentina but he injured
    i don't see messi carrying Argentina except 2016 copa america
    in 2018 world cup all we know how poor his performance was
    messi still upset anfeild crush he looks tired lack of mentality lack of spiritual no passion no leadership
    i don't know why people are so crazy
    even though he's more talent but cr7 is better leadership and motivator than messi

  5. Alejandro….Steve… Brazil drew against Venezuela. Argentina scored and sat back! Ended up winning 2-0. It's called tactics you MORONS!

  6. Yup…Ive always said it. No matter what! Messi should retire from International Football. I am a big fan and nothing will change my mind about who he is to me. International team(competitions) have only created more problems for him, while we can clearly see he just wants to enjoy playing football. Trophy or not, he will always be my champion. Leave all what the world is trying to define him, and just keep inspiring young footballers and fans all over the world. Its HOW he plays the game the people admire about him. Not the number goals, not the number of trophys whatsoever. He will forever be #mychampion

  7. I DON'T Know why espn pundits have so much sympathy for messi. If Ronaldo all we'll be excited to criticize him. True pundits.. really deserving pundits!

  8. If Messi doesn’t perform the same way he didn’t perform against Venezuela today, Argentina will 100% lose to Brazil in the semi-final because this Argentina team is fragmented and is all over the place.

  9. Argentina played well or not is not important. The fact is they win. Uruguay play well in all their group game . They lost to Peru on penalties. Brazil won Paraguay on Penalties . For me not matter how the teams played their objective for them is with the Cup. Thats all.

  10. Everyone is expecting argentina to score 4 to 5 goals per match, sorry but no team in this days is able to pull that off.
    This is a new young team, and honestly the fact that they're finding their game this early is amazing, most of new teams take years before being able to play well and Argentina did it in 2 matches.

  11. This man is complaint box if Argentina win he says Feel sad for Argentina and if they lose he says Messi is the reason for lose.
    Football is team game not one person game like chess
    So don't blame Messi for everything

  12. ⏺️Messi complain for having a bad ground in C.A? Come on. lmao Maradona had much worst than that and won the W.C and C.A.
    ⏺️Just remember when Cristiano won the Euro cup & National League, you people didn't give any credit to him and said eder won for him. Now Argentina carried messi once again, worst performance, bad captain, zero leadership and still feel bad for him? He is Barcelona player. That it.

  13. It’s so weird how in Barca especially in the Spanish league Messi is incredible always carries Barca but sometimes in the champions league or more specifically in the national stage Messi doesn’t seem to able to do anything near as great in the last couple years

  14. Crazy to think Argentina were the only team to win in 90 minutes in this round and they're getting the biggest pounding for playing bad lmao
