Lionel's biggest mistake... Empty Lionel's biggest mistake...

Is it choosing Argentina infront of Spain?

His ultimate goal is clearly to become the best. His personal critics is very much dependent on National team. At Spain not only he would avoid the handicap of 0 goals in 17 games. but he would also be playing in an arguably better team compared to Argentina.

Spain was far more competitive in Europe as well in recent years,and imagine them having Messi in attack rather than old Torres and then yet unpolished diamond Navas.Not to mention last world cup finals where messi could have been a crucial figure.Del Bosque didn't trust Silva enough to keep discipline so he started Torres,who missed most of last season through injury and was barely even noticed on the field. Iniesta started on the left and Xavi in the center...messi could have given Del Bosque far more options.He could have even started in attack alongside Villa instead of Torres,but I shouldn't go into butterfly effect now.

Anyhow,winning with Spain would certainly bring him more points in eyes of the viewers and governing bodies over the individual awards. Even in the same scenario where Spain won the WC final ...He's still young and physically superior not only to Torres but to any other player IMO,which means he'll probably last longer despite being older.I feel Argentina will be far more competitive from now on,but it doesn't cancel out the fact he missed out on a lot in these years he spent at Argentina rather than Spain.

Cristiano-Messi debates and league wars would be closed
now.. the national team is ruining everything Lionel's biggest mistake... 2859867778

Irrelevant. Messi choose to play with Argentina in an era where Spain where not as good.

Also, some might say that national pride was deciding factor.

Regardless, not Messi or anyone realized the coming success of Spain. Also remember that the Argentina team of 2006 was a very strong team. Messi could not have realized that after Beakermann only mediocre coaches will coach Argentina.

When messi choose argentina over spain ,argies were far better as a team and looked like they could win a international trophy in future.

But who saw things coming this way?

Do you have any concept of national identity? This would be disgraceful if he made that decision based on what you say. You should play for your country based on feeling, nothing more. I have no sympathy for those that choose otherwise.

Any person with football knowledge and a tactical nuance. It was so obvious the way Barca continued to improve. Plus, the fate of the Galacticos version 1 was another thing that made this whole scenario predictable.

Not true, when Real Madrid bought Alonso, Kaka, Ronaldo and Benz I am pretty sure even you thought to yourself that oh well maybe Real might actually beat Barca to the silverware.

Not really, I expected Barca to dominate based on their Spain performance and Messi development rate. I knew that if Madrid buys all of the star players in the universe, it would take them at least a year to click off. When Pelligrini was hired, I knew he was going ot get fired because Perez will have no patience. Hence, there will have to be another year.

All the while, Barca's performance was only getting better, and they are already a jelled team. One deciding factor in their La Liga dominance is their football style, which basically batters smaller opposition into submission.

As a Milan fan, I knew Kaka was injury prone and would take a long time to gel. Benz was always going to be nervous with that price tag, RM is his first big club. The fact that RM did not shore well in defense was also a tell on their lack of prospects. They had no WC full backs at the time (Marcelo was not WC, ans Sergio Ramos is a better CB), and full backs are very important to a team's success (see R. Carlos).

It was obvious that the Madrid project would need more time, while the Barca project is getting better.

Actually Argentina weren't that much better. Spain had a good team leading into the 06 WC. Fab and Torres just came along plus the played attractive football in 06.

I don't think that it was a mistake, maybe if you think that he is a mercenary and all he cares about is winning. But he is obviously proud of being a argentine..

Thiago is loyal, loyal to spain that is. He was raised in spain after all, so it doesn't suprise me that he feels spanish..
