It's just an initial reaction to losing a third final in a row, he doesn't want to play the WC qualifiers.
Zidane retired twice from international football and came back at a later date.
He will be in the lineup for Argentina's first WC game in two years time.
Jayden Powell
Should have played for Spain when he had the opportunity.
Jayden Carter
Its just a Rage Quit. Messi literally is like an Autistic Man Child
Nathaniel Parker
Still prefer watching him playng than having those cups. Thank you Leo
Brandon Barnes
Yeah i think he will come back for the WC. But for now he has retired
Cooper Lewis
I-is it too late to switch? Please find some loophole and let him in.
Benjamin Cooper
As a GOAT he has to have a fake temporary retirement.
Jordan did it. Zidane did it. Favre did it.
Lucas Collins
Serious question, is Messi really hated there? Or it's just a meme.
Raul didn't win shit for Spain but everyone respects him here.
Dylan Thomas
50% 50%. Everyone that hates him is because of his cups with Barcelona and having none with arg.
Gavin Russell
Yeah sadly he's hated here because retards (80% of the country) believe that one player has to carry all of the average argentine's frustration in football, sports, institutions, politics and every day life, as s god-sent messiah. And that he has to be just like Maradona, a coke snorter who played against potato farmers 30 years ago in a complete different football from today's.
Too great of a player for a shitty society such as Argentina. Poor Messi. I don't blame hin for wanting to quit the national team.
Anthony Bennett
>You guys go through this qualification thing on your own but call me up for the big event I hope he actually retired forever.
Jackson Watson
>he doesn't want to play the WC qualifiers. >he will play in two years I don't think Argies will let him if he does that.
Christopher Collins
He should wait until he wins a major tournament for his country.
Joshua Rodriguez
Mayweather too
It's part of the drama
Josiah Jenkins
hes over, goy. He has a lot of pressure.
Owen Turner
I am retiring Nope just kidding Argentina btfo at the Olympics Retires from football completely
it's ogre lad
Colton Campbell
only NT, not barcelona.
Hudson Foster
i hope that when he returns they wont give him the armband. hes a disgrace.
Nathan Smith
>Maradona, a coke snorter who played against potato farmers 30 years ago
A lot of the greatest defenders in history are from his era. Football in the 80s wasn't like the 50s you retard.
Ayden Stewart
>I wish I was back home at Barca putting 6 goals on shit teams
Nolan Ramirez
>48% No
Evan Jenkins
i hope not, hes too old, cant run, gets tired fast and is slow. We need new players from sub 21 with heart
Tyler Murphy
>we
Daniel Roberts
i hate messi because hes a corrupt piece of shit, panama money? come on! when he was younger and had promise he refrained from playing to avoid injury to make sure it didnt affect his bonuses, now its too late. Hes too slow and gets tired to fast. I dont believe he can carry a team on his own, now like Arjen Robben could, for example. Hell DiMaria is a better player than he is for what its worth. I also feel like the worst thing anyone could have done was to call him a new maradonna like you said, in a time where there can be no more maradonnas.
Leo Jenkins
of course, barcelona is where the real money is at >we im an argentinian lost in new york
Aaron Rodriguez
>Missi retires >Argies win their next final
you know this will happen
Brayden Mitchell
>next final So in another 20 years?
Josiah Powell
I think someone like Messi doesn´t flip flop. It is over for the argies
Christian Anderson
he'll be fine after a few days of playing FIFA alone in his room with plenty of sprite and cheese pizza.
Cameron Wood
shit, I would love to see if they can even qualify next time
Christopher Martin
depends whether they host the Copa next year
Aguero and Dybala leading the line, will be glorious
Dylan Fisher
Just because your das used to tell you stories about the legendary coke snorter doesn't mean Messi isn't 10 times the player Maradona ever was.
Dylan Mitchell
>aguero are you stupid?
Evan Davis
>one of his most memorable moments is blatant cheating
the mind boggles
Elijah Brooks
you should have said; 52% doesn't hate him 48% hate him
Easton Rogers
This comment just about sums up why your national team keeps choking.
Brayden Peterson
Messi and other players are boycotting the AFA until FIFA sorts it out. FIFA is putting the AFA into administration and will hold new elections?
Angel Ward
I don't think Messi will come back. He doesn't seem like the guy to go back on his words.
Joshua Sanchez
It's like sports movie shit >player has tons of promise as a kid >chooses to play for his homeland when he has the opportunity to play for the nation that he moved to for his career >rises to be recognized as the best player in the world >possibly the GOAT, but needs an international trophy for that >becomes captain of his national team, leads them to three straight finals >comes up just short in all three, losing in extra time once and then twice on penalty kicks >retires in a fit of frustration and disappointment >after having time to think about it and recharge, he decides to come back for the next World Cup >probably his last international tournament >FINALLY becomes the hero he always wanted to be for Argentina and delivers them the World Cup, the sport's greatest prize >recognized as the GOAT at last
Ryder Powell
Well spoken.
Kayden Roberts
>i hate messi because hes a corrupt piece of shit, panama money?
Jeez, it's truly summer here isn't it?
Ethan Fisher
>im an argentinian lost in new york
CHI
Kayden Wood
>carry a team on his own srsly usa? Go back to sucking lebron's dick.
Luis Miller
PREMATURE AUTISM WAS HITTING HIM
Connor Wilson

Thomas Wilson
>implying they'll even get to the finals next time
