there's been zero hype for the copa america with the euros in the way. he needs to win it in a final against brazil , otherwise it will be going to lewandowski in lieu of last year's snub

Most likely scenario. That's why Messi would have to deliver an epic performance vs Brazil in the final. And not even sure that would be enough.

Lol, our little dictator will sell his amigo before he'll even play the first game for Barca. 
After Bolivia's goal, Messi got angry with Sergio Ag?ero for not pressing up higher. He also got angry with Lionel Scaloni for the tactical disposition at that time of the game #CopaAmerica2021 [tyc sports]

Lol, guys here thinking that Messi has a chance to win Ballon dor
Yes, according to you, we should have sold Messi in 2015 and replaced him with some flavor of the week scrub from Bundesliga. Calma.

I don't think Aguero will ever be press machine. Surprised he never got angry to Suarez about slow ass pressing.

Lionel Messi has now won man of the match honours 25 times out of the 34 games he has played in 2021 – including in three of four of Argentina’s group games.
In the tournament so far, Messi boasts the most goals (3), most assists (2), most dribbles completed (21), most shots on target (10) and most accurate final 3rd passes (84).
We need the Copa America at all costs.

realistically speaking, he is still the best player around.
mbappe winning the euros wouldn't have made him a better player than messi.

Bookies is marking Messi as the favorite for the Ballon D'or this year so far.

well, i absolutely disagree that hes still the best player around, but lets put that aside for the moment.
this is an odd year because unless messi wins the copa and performs well against at least or ideally both uruguay or brazil en route, there is no clear, head and shoulders-above-the-rest best player atm. messi was out in the CL R16 and didnt win the league; haaland similar; mbappe similar and had a bad Euro; lewa won the league and did really well but didnt come close to CL and had a meh euro; CR lost the league too but had an ok (not great) euro...; kante didnt win the league and is out of euro though i thought he was the best CL player this year...
messi taking the copa would definitely put him ahead. if he doesnt, who knows

if messi doesn't win the Copa, I would like Lewa to win the Ballon D'or
