They would hate him in Argentina, but they already do, so it's ok

messi never considered spain, ever. spain winning wouldnt have changed a thing

I think he's regretting that decision as well

Why would Messi play for Spain.

Players who don't play for their home countries should be lynched.
How can people like Özil even live with themselves?

>2002
That wasn't refball bud, that was Korea legit cheating

>wanting a mental midget, quitter drama queen in your team
I'll pass to be honesy with you senpai

He had the chance, maybe he didn't choose Spain because they never achieved anything.

And everyone here loves Messi (except hardcore madridistas). Even many madrid fans appreciate him

Messi's been in Spain since he was a kid. I'd understand it if he wanted to play alongside his Barcelona buddies, for the country he's grown up in. People who switch as an adult should be shot though.

I really don't get this logic.

Should Messi not even have some struggle in his career? Why do you want him to play for a team that already won all that without him?

Holy fuck stop this meme. Playing for Argentina is not a "struggle". They are one of the four best teams in the world even without Missi.

He is a manlet. A choking manlet. That's all there is to it. Unless he literally has trophies gift-rapped and delivered to his frontdoor like at UEFAlona he is LITERALLY incapable of achieving shit. Yeah Argentina aren't the best team in the world, but they are very good. A very good team with the supposed "GOAT" should be good enough to win SOMETHING.

Look what Bale and Penaldo do and have done for their NT's and while they are basically playing with 10 farmers Messhit has Aguero, Di Maria, Mascherano etc

>implying Portugal don't have good players
Australia go to feed your kangoorooooos

Why do Argentines hate him?

from what I've heard Messi kept a lot of contact with Argentina

He lived most of his life in Spain, he moved to Barcelona when he was 13, he is more Spanish than anything else.

so did Griezmann at age 15, doesn't make him any more spanish than Messi

He was approached by the RFEF about the possibility of playing in Spain's U15 team. That is why this is brought up time and again. He was actually offered the chance.

Because Maradona, mostly

Fuck off

is that what you want?faggots

But he loves Argentina

But he doesn't feel Spanish
It shouldn't matter how successful they are he should choose based of the nationality in their heart
Why would you want a bunch of players there only for trophies?

He was offered the chance. He lived half his life in Spain. Obviously he's not native if that's what you mean.

At least he lived since he was a child in Spain, the fact that Costa was allowed to join the Spanish NT is a travesty, the dude can't even speak Spanish.

Really pathetic asspains.

>maybe he didn't choose Spain because they never achieved anything
Nah, i doubt it, his parents must have instilled the love of Argentina in him since he was born, so he felt the duty to represent, maybe he is a choker, but in that aspect i like Messi.
