10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[JamDav1982]

This is true. Teams give Messi like 4 men markers lol. His counterpart is left free to roam the box lol

Messi doesnt move that much and stands in the most congested areas that is reason he has so many men close to him.

On the ocassions today he didnt he had nothing when running at them.

 

[Neymessi]

He was perfectly contained by iceland. Huge credits to them. Remember a lot of occassions when messi got the ball but he just didn't have much options. And a lot of credits to messi for trying so hard, dribbling and passing all the time and coming close sometimes even with so much pressure.

People seem to think he had a bad game but I can't disagree more, he was quite good. That penalty miss is defnitely takking a huge toll on him mentally I can bet. Can only imagine what he is feeling mentally after missing another important penalty for argie. The flashbacks of that copa final are upon him. Stay strong messi

What an ignorant statement. Not true. Messi does not look for space, confronts all the markers himself. Ronaldo is the best in the world at losing his marker. It is really that simple.

The difference is that God hates Messi, so there will be no happy ending for him and Argentina.

Exactly. There's no saviour for this one.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

So what result is the best for Nigeria vs Croatia? Draw or Croatia win?

 

[KingLeo10]

has to improve on his penalty for both barca and argentina.

has to incorporate other elements into his game. CR7 is a lot more unpredictable, even for portugal. Messi doesn't have the raw acceleration or physical attributes to dribble up from the midfield anymore. plus, he's been doing that for 15 years now. there's tape and people have it figured out.

unpredictable players with high ability dominate in the setup of the WCs and KO matches in general. he needs variety.

 

[JamDav1982]

Messi and Argies have time to rectify some of it is only saving grace.

 

[Givenchy]

people saying hes declined to the point hes shit, retire, no stamina. bunch of ott retards

this is pressure and Messi is bottling it. Maradona watching on, the weight of the country on his shoulders expecting him to win, the love-hate relationship with Argentina, freaking GOAT signs around the stadium, i can't imagine how much pressure hes carrying right now. thats no excuse for how hes played and that penalty was straight up poor but as Barca fans cut the guy some fucking slack and respect

 

[MessiTBE]

I had nightmares about today's game and Messi performance, none of them was bad as the real thing

 

[ronniecro]

Portugal 1 Iceland 1 Euro 2016 opening group game. Ronaldo had shocker. Portugal go on to win the Euros.......Maybe just maybe this could be fate

please

He choked,he has only himself to blame.He missed the penalty and it let that affect his game.Didn’t help that he was always marked by 3 men and that he has lost his pace.

He tried,but he looked..helpless.Like he knew that he would never score.

This team of course cannot win the WC,but you would expect Messi to go out giving his 100% bith physically and mentally.He just wasn’t there unfortunately and hasn’t been there for a long time to be honest.I think that the 3 lost finals really affected his mind.

Messi can not be mocked here

Yeah there were a lot of times in that second half he got ball and turned to run at them with some space and he couldnt get away.

All he did was end up slowing down and passing simple after Iceland caught up with him.

 

[D10S91]

Messi getting slaughtered everywhere. They really can't go out in the group stages, just make the quarter finals at least with Messi scoring a couple..

The one thing the big ladyboy has got over Messi is luck , nothing else.
