Lionel Messi failed once again to lift Argentina at the World Cup as they crashed to defeat against Croatia and a respected journalist from the country is among those that feel he should now retire.

Fernando Niembro's opinion is based on the idea that Messi has too much control over the national team, including picking who he wants, while he is unable to deliver like he does for Barcelona."Messi owns the Argentina team," he said."He is the coach of the Argentina team and what he decided to do is play his friend and this is the result of putting your friends. A weak team, a team that isn't what it can be, a team without heart."Messi we asked for heart.

You are the best player, when a team fails what you ask of the best player is that you dig deep and you couldn't even do that."Enough of Mascherano, your friend, enough from Sampaoli and his contradictions, enough of putting pressure, enough of taking control without a plan. And the truth, once Messi walked away from the Argentina team, and it wouldn't be bad if he thought about it again."
