Messi seemed upset with that miss, understandable though.

What I cannot understand is why one team in an important final gets an extra day to prepare. Di Maria's injury was clearly caused by not enough rest between semifinal and final. Messi was a little tired as well. And Chile's game plan was to foul him whenever he touched the ball. The referee handed out yellow cards but did not dare to give second Yellows to the home team. Next time Copa America should invite European referees. And Tata Martino made several mistakes, among them substituting Aguero eith Higuain. No way Kun Aguero had missed the big chance created by Messi at the end of the game.
A very frustrating experience to watch this game.
It remains to be happy for Claudio Bravo - another individual and team trophy for him - a great year for him.

The moment he realized yet another trophy with Argentina is slipping out of his hands.

Anyone have the original quote in Spanish? Don't get the karma part.

Those of you who want Messi to quit the Argentina NT does not understand how much he loves Argentina and how much he wants to win something with Argentina. As long as he is still physically fit, he will not quit, nor should he.

He said it in a context of being a torture, a punishment to come so close and not get reward.
I've seen some interviews, they interviewed and asked Lavezzi as well. Seems Messi is quite distraught. Poor guy. Hope he goes on vacation with his family and relaxes for a bit and forgets things.

In spanish popular speak and slang, when someone says you have "un carma sobre ti" (a karma over you) or something similar, it doesn't mean you did something and are getting revenge or what's deserved, but more like you have a black cloud hanging over you that's heaping you misfortune without end or that you're cursed and can't achieve something you want dearly.

When you see some of the Argentina fans criticizing/blaming messi those kind of reactions are obvious. Messi is not a quitter. He will not quit. He will take every blame and continue to play for his country and will try to win something for his NT. Really laughed at the part when someone suggested messi has a weak mentality. He will come back stronger and continue to play awesomely. Best forget this and hope they become good enough for next world cup.

It's quite telling in the end that Messi scored the only Argie goal of the shoot outs.

Look at poor Higuain, that's the one of whom you have to question his mental fortitude. It's a repetitive trend of his.
Messi if I'm not missing one is 5/5 in penalty shootouts in the last two Copa Americas and World Cup. (vs Uruguay CA 2011, vs Belgium WC, vs Netherlands WC, vs Colombia and vs Chile)
Am I missing any other?
