He's a national hero since he scored a hat trick against Ecuador

>le nobody footballer man
literally who?

Oh shit, I forgot all about that. Do you think it will last, or have his relatively disappointing performances in 3 major finals, cemented his reputation? What has Maradona said about him lately?

Nobody cares about what Maradona says, a famous phrase goes like, "Maradona was the greatest player, but the worst person"

the argentine media is the one that shits on him and kiss his ass when he does good

the people love him

kino cold messi

who keeps messing with his statue?

Riquelme is better

>he's a national hero since beating a coachless ecuador B team with nothing to play for

topkek

I'd probably dislike him as well if I was Argie and kept hearing about how he's the greatest footballer ever, only to be reminded of the fact that he's won nothing for the Argie national team

A bit like how Rooney is viewed here, but Messi is far superior so should have done more.

At least he didn't let 7 goals past his own sheet, at home, in a World Cup semifinal

This will never not be the greatest comeback to a Brazilian

wew this escalated quickly

>the "GOAT" never a won a single trophy for his NT despite playing against this
>25 years

>does fuck all with nt
>scores against betis and bilbao

why is it so inconceivable that the little brown rice farmers in argnentina fucking hate the little cunt

Messi is great and people love him, but he's no Paul Scholes.

I particularly don't feel nothing about him
he's a good player that plays very well for his team, which I'm not a fan from and he's reached nothing with the NT, hence my lack of feeling

...

>Mineiro
As in that shite Chelsea player who made 2 appearances then disappeared???

yeah, he scored the winning goal against Liverpool in the 2005 CWC, kek

No one in Europe remembers the Club World Cup or anything that happens in it.

that was literally his ticket to London though, don't be so triggered

I just had to Google this literal who because I never heard of him. He joined Chelsea 3 years after that happened so I think you need to check your timeline. I'm not triggered, just telling you how it is, bro. Your best players leave to play in Europe because your league is shit, and a lot of them fail or end up playing for random teams in Azerbaijan, so obviously the CWC is irrelevant to us. Chill out, bro.

what the fuck are you even on about?

There's a meme in the English media that Messi is hated, or at least not loved, in Argentina, because he is so successful at club level and the goat of his generation but never won anything for Argentina.

ah yes, the famous english media.
only a handful of contrarian fucks hate him.

then you're a crybaby pulling excuses

i personally fucking hate him but im white

No. Noone dislikes him, except two kinds of idiots (and they're a really small minority):
- Special little snowflakes trying to sound knowledgeable by having a shockingly contrarian opinion, but that in the end simply come out as missinformed.
- Actually missinformed or clueless people; generally the kind that don't watch football except for 3 or 4 WC games including the final.

Only for the two groups described above, and the press of course, who will idolize or demonize a player on a per-match basis

What CAN Maradona say about the finals? As far as Messi vs him, Maradona failed to win the Copa America (played it 3 times, never even got to a final). Played two WC finals, but never scored; Luckily Burruchaga showed up.

I always suspected this. The British media is a piece of flaming shit and needs to die

Everyone in Argentina is set to ruin his legacy. In this game, it was Ayala.

...

No one can dislike him, but there's this stupid comparation between Maradona and Messi, plus the idiosyncrasy of the Argentine makes everything exponentially annoying and retarded since we're stupidly existencialist and we always try to found something to critize in the most minimal detail

Existencialist? I think you mean "exitista" (success-obsessed)

Funny thing, we say the same phrase about Pelé

>Funny thing, we say the same phrase about Jordan

yes, that's the correct word

>they will never, EVER hear the end of this

Does anybody actually like their own country's sports media?

to be absolutely fair though the english media as a whole is complete dogshit.
specially those bizarre as fuck newspapers they have.

>more WCs than Messi

Messi has 3 club World Cups with Barcelona, 1 u-20 World cup and the olympics with Argentina.
so no, they technically don't have more world cups than Messi.

>specially those bizarre as fuck newspapers they have.
Oh, I don't know. Some of them are pretty good.

Argentina really really likes Messi

>dyke sawker

>Paul Scholes
For what?

I'll put my bet on drunk villeros

How are Argentinian posters so articulate in English? They put a lot of my American posters to shame.

I was in Argentina when we left them out of the cup and everyone hated him there.

Young people like him because of barcelona but argentinians that care about Argentina don't trust him to lead them to a title, they know he's good but they think he doesn't feel the uniform

Many Americans are quite illiterate, user. You shouldn’t be so surprised. Germans are known to speak the best English.

You mean since he carried our sorry ass to a worldc up final

because every hobo in the USA speaks english.
