If reaching World Cup finals and Copa America finals back to back is choking, then I wish Mexico also becomes a choker.

Don't you worry. Mexico will be losing in the copa oro final soon enough.

The way we are playing we won't even reach the finals, so I'm not worried

Didn't realize more than half the forum here hated Argentina and Messi this much

Haters Ball 2015 up in this piece

I knew Argentina would lose the moment ADM went off injured. Come home son

Vidal's getting so drunk tonight.

Look at that camaraderie between the Chilean players, really beautiful thing to see, unlike Messi's tyrannical rule

bruh

I bet Messi was giving him a death stare

He's taking a selfie lol

My main problem with Messi is his lack of off the ball movement. He always wants the ball played to his feet and that causes him to get mark out off games for argentina.

nah looks like a shit pass afterall

Yea what I said as well

Most argentina attacks broke off because players kept passing to Messi who couldn't do anything because of being marked off or being too static

Is this the finger of god now?

Who's that with the Juve shirt

Probably Vidal's designated driver for tonight

Probably S, trynna convince Vidal to not leave this summer.

I heard messi was angry at Higuain for months after his miss in WC final. What will happen now? Higuain has no chance this time

Wtf 2 finals and 2 loses in a row. Messi is bewithced to retire trophiless in NT

I wish he was wearing an Arsenal shirt. The amount of jokes I could have made about me with that

Fixed that for you.

Even at such a heartbreaking time at least you managed to make me laugh.

Russia 2018 Messi's last chance now to claim international silverware.
If he can't , he'll forever be in the shadow of Maradona.

**** football.

Chile deserved winners. Congrats on their first title ever.

On the plus side, this hurts WAAAAY less than losing a WC final.

Half the game he was walking around and never appear to have any sense of urgency.

I don't doubt Messi's talent one slightest bit but being the best that can possibly be is about a little more than talent. Does Messi lack just a little bit in terms of heart and mental toughness in the tightest, hardest and most crucial of occasions? Maybe having top quality players in Barcelona alongside him, some of whom are marginally superior to him in terms of heart and mental toughness, makes us rarely see these shortcomings there but with the national team even though there are a few players like Mascherano who have as much heart and toughness as possible, not having as much talent as Barca, exposes these shortcomings of Messi all the more.

Maradona was Maradona not just for his talent but also for his determination, fighting spirit, mental toughness and leadership (ability to drive his team and bring the best out of others). Maybe in spite of being just as talented if not more Messi can never be Maradona and maybe this is the reason for it.

Maybe this is just a knee jerk reaction from me. Maybe more. I don't know and maybe will never know.

Does anyone know who won the golden ball for the Copa America?
