Is it legal to suggest that Messi doesn't appear to be as effective against international class defensive units?

 

I think it's the players around him aren't as good.

 

I might be off here, but I think it's the opposite. Portugal know Ronaldo is their main man and they play like it. Argentina are caught in two minds whether to play as a team with Di Maria, Aguero, Dybala etc, or just utilise Messi.

 

Messi shouldn't have to carry Argentina, but they act like he should without admitting it and end up doing fuck all.

 

I think you're bang on about Portugal but don't agree about Argentina. I think their only tactic is for Messi to run the game from deep but it's too easy to defend against because they've not had the sense to play any proper wide men and stretch the play.

 

Easier with Ronaldo because the other 9 just have to not concede and try to give him the ball near the box.

Would score a lot more if he didn't play as deep as he usually does. Has a great foot. Lovely player.

 

He would also be a significantly worse player if he did that.

 

Nah, can play deep but have more license to roam forward is what I'd like to see, especially for Croatia. No need to play further forward for Real I guess. Can probably play him anywhere. Class.

Messi shouldn't have to carry Argentina, but they act like he should without admitting it and end up doing f*** all.

Yeap, got to remember Ronaldo and Messi are different players especially nowadays.

:thup:

 

I feel if Argentina actually copy that Messi + 9 defenders, they'd be a success! Instead they play bits of Messi messi messi and bits with the other players like Aguero, leaving shit like Enzo Perez holding the fort :lol:

Argentina simply can't handle not winning. Awful awful bunch of tossers.

 

VARs should have him off the pitch.

Just thinking doesnt this aways happen when they lose? Seems everytime I see them lose they go mental. Same with Uruguay
