it's hilarious how no one is taking into account his vomiting issues. do you guys really think that it's a plain issue? i really think that messi's health is fucked up and that's why he is trying to preserve himself, because if he ran more i'm sure it would cause vomiting to be more frequent and severe which would make him unable to even finish a single god damn match! i wouldn't be surprised if messi announces retirement after this WC announcing that he has a cancer or some other incurable illness which will prevent him from playing football. leave this man alone, he wants WC more than aguero or any other player in his team and he'd prolly run his ass off if he could. but he clearly doesn't, because if he did it would prolly do harm to him and his game. what's pathetic is argentina's attack, i think aguero should be dropped, he is clearly useless and is disrupting the game for albiceleste. but let's be honest, messi will be the only one to get bashed if argentina fail, even if messi plays as a gk he will be bashed for not scoring and not providing a win. no one will even mention that he is playing behind the strikers because there's no one else in the team to create chances from the midfield as frequently as a decent midfield would create. i feel pity for messi, we don't deserve to witness a footballer like that. i'm out!
