This is another lesson for all Nigerian football followers:

At the 2005 FIFA U20 world cup final in Holland, it was flying eagles of Nigeria vs Argentina. We had promising stars like Mikel obi, taye taiwo, keita, adeleye, isaac promise and others.
Argentina's attackers in that world cup were Di Maria, Messi and Agueiro. These same 3 attackers won Beijing Olympics for Argentina and now copa america
Unfortunately today, none of those squad members of Nigeria flying eagles still plays top level football. they've either retired or tired.
If you know you know that Messi aguiero and Di Maria are youngers to those Nigeria players you mentioned

The late Maradona was a bad omen for Messi and his team, contrary to what many believe, it is actually counterproductive to continue to compare every superstar that comes out of that country with Maradona's heroics in the 1986 world cup. If Maradona was put under like this by comparing him with the superstars like De Stefano that came before him, he might not have been able to achieve what he achieved. I think Messi is a kind of player that can't handle such pressure of constant comparison with the late football maestro. Messi had clear chance to win the world cup in 2014, but he bottled it due to the enormous pressure on him. I could see Messi unable to kick the ball when it was only Nuer for him to beat. I think the best thing any Argentina coach can do is to find a way to lift off the pressure on Leo and allow the burden of the pressure to transfer to himself.

Lies. It's a disgrace he is just wining his first Copa Americana at this age despite playing for a whole Argentina in a tournament with relatively weak competition. This is something Argentina should have won at least 4 times in Messi's career. You can't compare it to the Euro's which CR7 has won almost single handedly. Nobody call Messi better than Ronaldo because of this because it's Apples and Oranges.

Check stats you will see that 14 countries of South Americans have better head to head record against the so called strong Europe

Messi is the top scorer in agertina history the top assist provider in agertina history.
He was a golden ball winner at the world cup
He was the golden ball winner at 3 copa America
He was the golden ball winner under 20
He was the golden ball winner at the Olympics

Supposedly He won the world cup at 2014
Supposedly he won won the copa back to back with Argentina 2015/2016
He would have easily be the best player in agertina history.


If football was rated individual this season then messi has no equals this season
* league top scorer
* most assist
* most man of the match
* most goals involvement

CopA America
* Top scorer
* most assist
* most goals involvement
* golden ball winner
* most man of the match

He has set his standard so high that this season seems like a poor season to us but
In reality
Any other player with this stat would easily claim d balloon do or
But balloon dor or is now base on trophy
Which keep kante and ledwadosky ahead of him.



You must be kidding for saying that Kante and lewandoski are ahead of messi for the 2021 balloon dor. 7th balloon dor is already sealed for the real goat and king of soccer. Ask Ronaldo if you think l am joking.

oga Portugal qualified as best looser in the euro dey lifted and Ronaldo cudnt even play in the finals coz he was injured and subbed.compare that with the work rate of Messi in this tournament.

Agüero and di Maria didn’t play the 2005 FIFA world youth championship

It was the Beijing olympics they both took part with Messi

The time his contract expires at Bacelona is when he won the biggest prize of his life

Does it means that his former club is a hindrance to this particular prize, just thinking loud

You might be correct. Messi won this trophy as a free agent.

I wish I can be happy for Messi & Argentina, but I can’t!
Africans need to STOP being lazy and learn history. Ever wondered why Brazil & Cuba has dark skinned citizens & Argentina rarely has? Argentina unlike her South Amerian neighbors made it a rascist policy to stop escaped & freed slaves from USA from entering their territory. Those who managed to enter through slave trade or escapees (Afro Argentines) were systematically murdered. Slave were killed in thousands if not millions by Argentines of European origins! Any Argentine who frolicked with Africans faced dire consequences. Brazil & Cuba were more tolerant.


DannyXpress:
First of all congratulations to Argentina for winning the 2020 Copa America, this is a huge victory for them especially messi despite all the near winning encounters and multiple Finals lost in the hands of their rivals

1. Delay is not Denial
Argentina last won the Copa America in 1993 and has lost seven finals since then. This didn't deter them from focusing on their game and bringing out the best in them to ensure they break the trophy drought. As we can see a lot of people were happy for Argentina as if it was their ever first trophy (well it is, especially to the players). Whatever you're doing as long as no one gets hurt just continue cause it will surely pay off just one day. you may not get it right at first but with consistency you will conquer.

2. Love your critics
We all saw how messi was being criticized cause he hasn't won any major international trophy, that was his major driving force to give this tournament his best and what happened ?? It finally paid off. Critics can sometimes motivate people towards success, so you have to love them.

3. Always put in your best in everything Argentina had the chance of winning this Copa America twice against a less competitve but stubborn chile but they bottled it, if they had won at least one of those finals back then it would have given them a more composed atmosphere and confidence but that wasn't what we saw cause Argentina played under pressure yesterday but we're happy they won.

4. Teamwork is ​Strength
Despite Brazil been the better team and the Argentines playing under pressure, their teamwork was commendable, from the tackles, saves, attack, all of them blended well, no one was left out (including messi).

What Did you learn from the match ??
Add yours
