Well Messi doesn't seem too sad about retiring from the NT, Anto posted this 2 days ago.

Do you think your country can win the Euros? I think Iceland will beat them

We have to remember Maradona said the same thing after 1990 WC final loss and said he was retired from the NT but he still came back to play 1994 wc. lets hope messi does the same thing.

Well Maradona is Argentinian so I think he really does want to Messi to return to the NT, he even coached him in 2010, however Pele could be looking to profit from Leo like you're saying.

:lol: True he was seen talking bad about Messi with Maradona recently.

Lionel Messi should reconsider Argentina retirement, says Pele http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12026/10330173/lionel-messi-should-reconsider-argentina-retirement-says-pele

Look stop being so bias. Iniesta a great player, but isn't better than ronaldo. The debate is messi vs ronaldo.

If Portugal win it, he's guaranteed to win the ballon d'or with the champions league win already, and he might score in the semi or final, he's got 2 goals so far.

I think Argentina need Tevez back as striker, this isn't gonna keep working with higuain for messi in finals in particular.

during these 5 years i've got no doubt he'll win the ballon d'or at least once.

We'll have to wait till next season to see if he does stay retired from the NT, what effect it will have on his Barca performances. I think it's going to have a negative effect if he doesn't come back. Even Luis Suarez is saying Messi will reconsider and come back to the NT. 748452989824811008

Great post, people dont understand this. Messi needs to come back to the NT.

The only thing he's posted on his Facebook today was a promotion for a mobile phone. https://www.facebook.com/LeoMessi No word about argentina, worrying signs.

Anyone can miss a penalty, the fact that is hasn't scored in 4 finals is the concerning thing.

Don't be silly, they're not gonna just get rid of everyone just because they lost the final, all 3 will continue with Messi, with some new fresh talent included too.

There's no message from Messi on any of his social media pages after the loss. I wonder what he's thinking now.

The thing is we can all talk about whether Messi failed or succedeed with the NT, but Leo himself knows he didn't do well, which is why he retired at age 29. He was devastated at the losses and crying. Leo will be the first to admit that the NT path hasn't gone to plan. Hopefully can comeback...

If Neymar stays at Barca, I could see him winning the Ballon D'or in the future, at least once.

You talked about Brazil 82', they are remembered, even though they didn't win it, because they played amazing unbelieveable football throughout the tournament. Did Argentina do that in 2014 wc? I don't think so. They scraped to the final, beating holland on penalties in the semi after it ended...

That's not my argument, I shouldn't have even mentioned Cruyff. The bottom line is, both CR7 and Messi have won loads of trophies at club level, but Zero trophies with NT, which will be seen by some people as failure with the NT, whichever way you look at it. Argentina fans want argentina to win...
