Messi retired from international football

[Franky Bear]

Strange one there. I wonder if it's just a knee jerk after losing the Copa America?

[DLang]

No doubt.

Get butthurt, flounce.

It doesn't only happen on forums.

He obviously thinks he's too good for them.

argentina fans have never truly embraced him anyway - loads of them see him as more spanish than argentine.

So do most of us.

It was the other guy who also missed a penalty that lost it for Argentina after all

Of course he may be worried ta the age of 29 that he needs to make sure he can extend his club career for another year at the end of next season

But if it was seriously because he's miffed at losing 3 CA trophies in a row, then he's no better in temperament than the Portugese preener.

Bit of a Greek tragedy for Messi. All the near misses, nasty vitriol from a sizable portion of Argie football "fans", whored out for cash for the AFA via constant friendles.

News over the past few days that FIFA is attempting to put the AFA under administration given their continued mindboggling level of incompetence and rampant skullduggery.

So bad that corrupt FIFA is alarmed. The AFA has been a garishly corrupt organization for decades.
