No the commentators during the game were speaking about him doing little, the comments on here amongst biggest Messi fans going is that he was average at best go back an read them. The rating from outlets after the game also pointed to him not being good let alone great.
Yet you dont really care or cant see past Messi and declare it a 'great' performance.
The reality is you dont care how he really played and just declare how good he was anyway.

Commentator's said this , pundits said that , ratings blah blah . come on stand up and voice your own opinion like a men . I have mine and he was great in SF . How many times should i repeat i don't care even if you think i am biased . Learn to respect others opinion with a pinch of salt even if you dislike it

Of course because your opinion is not related to how he actually played.

Good that you dont get offended.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasnt.
In the knock-out stages they relied far more on a great defense than anything else, they hardly conceded a goal for a reason. He had some moments, but overall, it was their defense that got them into the final, Messi was important to avoid draws in the group stage though.

That was the time when he was playing as a Striker and didn't had to drop deep because we had fecking Xavi and Don andres Iniesta in midfield .
I want to know whether you will give credits to Modric for Ronaldo's second goal in last Cl final ? . Because Messi did similar thing for Higuain's goal against Belgium . Masche was definitely MOTm against Dutch but it was not like Messi was shit .He won them them all the group matches and was the creator behind two goals in knockouts

He was pretty good in group stages playing in that SHIT team.
In the knockouts I remember him being decent to start with but then he started to decline for some reason.
Must have been tiredness as I think those games were 3-4 days apart.
In the Holland match, I saw him do okay but he still was not right. No way he was crap but not the Messi we know.
I would sub Messi in the Worldup if they are winning by more than 1 goal.
I remember the original Ronaldo was subbed alot of the times in 2002 World Cup. They kept him as fresh as they could and he scored 8 goals.

Too many discussion. Just watch it!
From what I see, it's a matter of tactical decision as well. I think the coach placed Messi on right flank either for him to avoid the watchers or to attract them and make space in the middle.
The latter happened, but link and creativity is nowhere to be found from the middle. He was often heavily guarded by 2-4 people when no one offers a one two or going into position. I think Messi forget that it was not Barca and no don Andres or Alves or suarez or Alba to help him out.
First 45 min he still doing great, but the next 45 he was clearly exhausted which was seen in some misplaced shots and long passes and ball being robbed from him. Yeah, however great a player is, he can't do it all alone and his team mates should not think about it either. Messi needs a few argentinean in Barca for Argentina to succeed lol.

R9 was not Brazil's best player in that WC . it was Rivaldo . scholari could have rested R9 as much as he wanted not the case with that Argentine team in 2014
Wtf @ could have rested Ronaldo as much as he wanted. lmao
