I saw the first 30 minutes of the game v nicaragua and Argentina as a team didn't really gel. Only Messi and lo celso really stood out. Hopefully aguero and the rest get going when the tournament starts. Also why is there a copa America in 2020? I thought the one in 2016 was only played because it was the centennial one
I have never seen Argentina gel with Messi though.
Best imo was the qualification with sabella in 2012/13. They conceded a lot but also scored. Which is why it was weird that they turned into italy at the wc and almost won it.
Messi been unlucky though, 2014-16 he should have won something. Losing two shoot outs also hurts. In USA he was playing amazingly and the. Everyone only remembers his baggio moment.
At this point he must be past the pressure though. He knows argentina is weak. Outsiders for copa’s and dark horse for wc at best and thats far away.
Careful with the Lo Celso hype. I remember when Pavon was supposed to be Messi's "partner" for the previous World Cup after a friendly against Haiti and recall a sizeable sect of our fanbase lobbying the board to purchase the lad.
Haiti is ranked 100th in FIFA world rankings and Nicaragua is some way off that coming in at 129th.
Lo Celso is still a player that plays for a midtable Spanish side and this friendly was nothing more than a morale builder. It is needless at this point to build statues of him only to tear them down in a few weeks time feeling gutted.
Let's see what happens. I already have my prediction.
Big day for Leo tonight

Let's hope Portugal wins so Messi can win the balon d'or
Well Portugal won but it was kind of lose lose situation for Leo, even though Vvd lost another international trophy for ronaldo

I know Pedro but this thing is irrelevant, compared to it confederations cup looks like a world cup, it will be hyped only from that disgraceful fanbase. Messi needs anyway to perform in copa and smashing goal as much possible he can when next season starts, especially in CL.
