Supposed GOAT probably ends his 13 year long international career with 0 knockout goals at World Cups and 1 knockout goal at Copa Americas.

Oh well. Argentina can be happy that they didn't get embarrased.

Now they should boot that clown on the bench and not call up any of the current players ever again except for Lo Celso, Dybala and Pavon.

They keep going on about Mbappe being a new star like he isn't already brilliant and the second most expensive player in history :D

Danny Murphy hasn't seen him live so he is a new star :mad:

If you're gonna take the title of GOAT then you show up at major tournaments (obviously if you play for a country that doesn't qualify for them you can hardly be blamed, one player doesn't make a team). Messi has only shown up at one.

Great game :applause: Probably the best of the tournament so far :thup: 

 

France were the better team and it still seemed like they didn't show their full potantial yet. 

 

As for Argentina - they weren't too bad today, but in general this WC really showed why they had so much trouble in their qualifying campaign. Poor defending, poor goalkeeper (although Armani looks miles better then Caballero in the first two games) and the main plan seems to be "Messi will save us in the end". Also some really weird decisions by Sampaoli. The Argentine media will probably end up blaming Messi as usual and I wouldn't be surprised if he retires from the NT once again.

Which one?

Where they conceded 0 goals in knockout phase up until the extra time in final and he carried them with his 0 goals and 1 assist in knockout phase?

Yes, Messi is no Pelé.

Pretty sure he did well in 2006, if I'm wrong then I'm wrong. But even if it is just one, it's still not enough for a supposed GOAT.
