He was the difference between them being one of the worst couple of teams in the tournament, and getting to the final. Argentina would be making finals with or without Messi. You sure on that? Argentina only made 1 WC final in nearly 30 years and that was with Messi in. Their copa America record wasn't great either up to 2007 which I think was his first appearence in the tournament. Since then regular finals. Edited March 18, 2019 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but could he do it at a side that has won their domestic title for the past 7 seasons? I mean, that’s the real litmus test here. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Messi playing CentreBack for Aston Villa would still be the best performer on the park. Probably, he'd just get bored and go score a few goals. Can see him dropping into the Pirlo role in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 He is 34 year old. He isn't superman. At that age, both club and international football will ask alot from him physically. Portugal is not winning anything in the near next 10 years, their team is average. I would retire from international football if i were him.

The_Rev Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 He probably wants 100 international goals. He's currently on 85 so it's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that always gets me is Ancelotti. Now I'm not saying he's an awful coach by any means. But he managed Juventus and Milan for a decade, with 1 league title to show for it. Took over PSG while they were top, and managed to not win the title that year. He's now managed to turn one of Europe's most exciting, attacking, teams in to a bit of a toothless kitten. His CL record is good, but I feel in 2 decades at the clubs he's been at, his general return has been quite shocking.
