Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[feggydinho]

He wouldn't have. He has less goals than Suarez in South American qualifiers.

He most likely would have scored more, and Suarez is the highest goal scorer in South American qualifiers with 29 goals, while Messi has 28. Suarez has also played more qualifiers than Messi, so you see

Messi has 0 goals and 0 assists in 540 minutes of Copa America and world cup finals yet they try to pin it all on Higuain/luck.

Argentina's defense did their job in all those finals bar 2007 as well.

Ay

But he's the reason why they even got to those finals. He's involved in a lot of goals and assists leading to those finals. And yes, they should have won the 2014 World Cup. Higuain and Palacio both missed sitters, and they were also the better team.

Messi also missed in 2014 finals so I wouldn't single people out, besides Higuain's chance was created by Germany's mistake

He's missed a decent chance, but it wasn't a sitter. It was a tough angle against a great goalkeeper. If he had Higuain's and Palacio's chance, he wouldn't have missed.

Thing is Messi is Messi and before that match he has hit goals from that angle against good goalkeepers.

damn...a nail for every goal in Rassvet's coffin. No way to get out.

Imagine what Messi's international stats would look like if he regularly played against those UEFA minnows.

Just awe-inspiring.

First player ever to score 5 goals in a match at both club and NT level.

Messi has also missed sitters or even pks in tough matches, and you don't see people blaming those losses on him, plus there's no guarantee another player would've finished those chances as strikers miss stupid chances sometimes.
