This will be an awful awful decision.
If it wasn't retired for the biggest Argentine national treasure Diego why do it now?
Also, future generations should be given the chance to carry on the legacy of the Argentine number 10s. No one thought we'd see another Diego when he retired but we got Messi to carry on that legacy, didn't we?
10 is the most popular jersey number and an inspiration for millions of kids. Let them dream about it.
I believe this entire practice of retiring numbers is absolutely ridiculous, baffling and harmful for the future of the sport.
Why kill all the romance and the buzz associated with the number 10 for the future generations?
Life moves on much faster than these 'prisoners of the moment' realise and every record gets broken.
There are plenty of other ways to show respect and thank Lionel for what he has done for Argentina.
Football fans supporting this kinda crap and then whining about the sport getting boring.
