  1. You wanna know why LEO MESSI is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!? Name one player. ONE PLAYER. That gets as much crap for a FRIENDLY match, as Leo does. People are going all in on the Venezuela game which, again, was a friendly. You know why they do it? Because there is nothing else left. NOTHING. People say he couldn't win the world cup, but he did bring Argentina to the final. So what are you saying? If Higuain had taken his 2 chances in that final and scored, that would make you think of Messi as a different player? Bullshit. He is already the goat. And there is nothing more to critique, so now they have to go for friendly matches. That's how desperate people are. Argentina might not do well internationally at the moment, but they do have the top 2 greatest players of all time. Messi nr 1 and Maradona as nr 2. Nr 3 is debatable, but the first 2 are not. Facts.

  2. One game poor performance , in Germany friendlies aren't important . Argentina need to plug defensive holes.
    offensively they were impressive . Only the defence need to be sharpened and robust .The same problem with
    Germany too . Martinez was impressive and so lo Celso . so its not all gloom .

  3. Of course they will qualify without him. He's the problem. The other players are retarded by him. Thy cannot get to express themselves fully. Argentina wants to play the same system in which barca plays just because of messi. Its the first im seeing Argentina looking so disorganized.

  4. How an earth does most people think Messi does not have an help from other players?Yeah sure in Maradona's time,Argentina had a better team but just to suggest everyone else besides Messi is horrible in that team is ridiculous.Ronaldo won Euro with Portugal Euros for crying out loud.

  5. I 100% agree that Messi does not have a supporting team to help him to win an international trophy. Let’s be honest if he had a better team with stable coaching and a good defense he would’ve won a World Cup or copa America by now. It’s not fair that he is a genius but has idiots around him. It pains me to see him whenever he loses an international match because you can see him hurting. But it’s okay he will win the copa America this summer you heard it here first

  6. The main problem with Argentina is their defence and also the chemistry. They can get rid of this by using young talents and asking them to play in the European clubs so that they will learn to play against the european countries. For example messi played for barca at 13 and aguero at Athletico Madrid.

  7. In my soccer practice i give easy passes for the strikers and i try to score too , but sadly my practice team needs me i play a HUGE part in it…without me they all would be in a struggle…i just wish that i was not the one everybody relied on….

    Btw im not doing this for attention , i just wanna say that its a struggle when there is so much pressure on you when your teammates can not do anything without you

  8. Let’s make this simple for the stupid people who doubt messi. Would Argentina have qualified to the World Cup last summer without Messi yes or no? Hint: Messi scored the hattrick for the game they needed to win to qualify…

  9. Listen,Americans. You need to understand.. Argentine Futbol Association is more corrupt than a police station on the Bronx. Look beyond the players, it's rotten to the core…

  10. Just put messi , icardi , dybala , dimaria , aguero on the same time. Even away team score 10 , those amazing argentina player will score 11.

    What im try to say is argentina defenders was clearly suck and even the manager can fix that. So focus on attacking! Sorry fo my english.

  11. Pele isnt greatest player of all … he won 3 wc but dont forget that there was only 8 teams and 16 teams in wc … + as u said he had a lots support

  12. They will be better without Messi and can start being a Real Team, instead of relying on Messi

    The Problem is messi. He is the worst captain i have ever seen for argentinia. He missed penalties for the national team in the finals and was a ghost in the wc final 2014. He retired a few times like a baby because he lost, but decides at the same time who plays and who dont.

  13. I think they can as when messi is in it , they all aspect he will do all by him self + look vs Venezuela…. they didnt use Dybala lol Icardi … they an idiots having such a players and not using with messi
