Messi

Liberty for CR7 having to compete with Messi. Any other time in football history he'd have a great shout of being the best...up against Pele and Diego. There's an argument for all 3.

But wee Messi, he blows them all out the water. No one comes anywhere near him.

 

Still the best player in the world by a landslide.

 

Would love him to win the World Cup.

It would reel like natural justice.

 

Really don't know. Did you see them batter Italy 3-0 few months ago at Wembley? They had some excellent players in their team. Messi, Romero, Martinez, Dybala, De Paul etc. If Messi can get a grip of games, they could do something.

 

Probably the best team Argentina have had since he's played for them really, 2005-2010 but their team was mostly all old * like Ayala, Samuel, Zanetti, Veron, Cambiasso, Riquelme, Aimar, Crespo, Milito- good quality but no legs and too many guys over the hill.

2010-18 they were top heavy with Tevez, Aguero and Higuain who couldn't really play together and their defence and midfield was utter pish.

Now they have better balance although still not really a team you'd expect to win it, probably play something like

Rulli
Molina Romero Martinez Tagliafico
Paredes
Di Maria De Paul Lo Celso
Messi
Martinez
​

Think they are at least 2 players away if they had Cancelo and Bernardo Silva instea of one of their full-backs and Lo Celso then you'd be thinking they are as good as anyone but their centre-backs aren't in their prime, full-backs average and midfield lacking a Bernardo/Modric/Verratti style guy.

Will need to defend for their lives and hope Messi is on fire and Martinez clinical.

 

I think Argentina have every chance, in fact they're who I'll be backing.

For me there isn't one standout international side right now so it comes down to form and momentum. Argentina have that right now, just like Italy did going into the Euros, and it seems like Messi has a point to prove with his recent upturn in form.

I'd * love for them to win it. The wee man is still head and shoulders above anything else on the planet and will be until the day he retires.

 

Another goal and assist for him today.

Neymar is looking on top form as well

 

You see PSG stats for the front 3 this season. * frightening.

Mbappe has 17 goals and 4 assists in 17 games

Neymar has 14 goals and 11 assists in 18 games

Messi has 12 goals and 14 assists in 17 games.

* crazy numbers man.

 

Neymar is a .unt

 

Going to America ? Talking about Inter Miami being in for him.

 

I really hope not.

Still the best player in the world and should be competing for major honours like the CL.

I don't like PSG much but now that Celtic are out I kind of feel myself wanting them to win it purely for Messi.

 

I agree. I don't want him to go back to Barcelona so would rather he stayed at PSG for one more year. I understand the potential lifestyle he can provide for his family in Miami but * me, he would be wasted going over there right now. He could still play another 2 years in Europe easily.

 

Always thought he'd go back to N.O.B.

 

Lol just imagine Messi in the miami changing room after the career he had and sitting taking orders from Phil nevile as his boss
