Sure, hes probably punted 100 goals past Real Zaragoza or Malaga or whatever, but for Argentina when the chips are down and they turn to him he tends to wilt.
Believe it or not Messi has played more than 1 game that I've seen. I love your 'confirmation bias tho' because you in all of your infinite wisdom just assumed that I made a statement based on only ever seeing Messi play 1 game.
You know what they say about assumptions?
And once again Argentina were playing with every attacking option on the field.
Anyhoodles, onto more current news, my Brother-in-Law is in a World Cup pool at work and knows little about soccer so he asked for me help, he had to pick two teams and unfortunately he selected last, so its his turn to pick and Belgium and Croatia were still on the board, so I'm pulling for them!
Unfortunately Croatia's primary National Export is 'crippling disappointment.'

So Messi hasn’t scored vs the best teams in the world? He didn’t take Argentina to the World Cup final? He was a Higuain finish away from being word champion.

Yes I’d say your assessment of Messi was very much impulsive. But I guess all he does is kick the ball into the wall. I actually couldn’t believe someone was questioning weather Messi or Aguero should take free kicks, that statement alone makes me question if you’ve actually watched Messi over his entire career. I’m not trying to be a smart ass but your comments about Messi are entirely off as he has a 14 year track record that proves otherwise. Football is a difficult game, both Ronaldo and Messi have games where they get shut down, to make gross generalizations over a few games is just ridiculous. Ronaldo was superb yesterday but he got shut down in both the semi final of the CL and final but still won. Like I said earlier he’s only scored 6 World Cup goals in 4 world cups. You were making grandeous statements like Ronaldo always produces on the big stage and Messi has not with Argentina. Just not true at all
