Biggest Argentinean problem is not Messi but your unrealistic expectations. My friend your team is pure shit. If Messi wasn’t playing for Argentina you wouldn’t even be in a World Cup. He led this limited team to 3 finals in the last 4 years so you should thank him for that. People in Argentina expecting this team to win a World Cup is just a true comedy. FFS they even ruined 2010 World Cup for Messi by appointing that clown Maradona as a manager.

His head isn't right this tournament. Too weighed down by having to carry a whole team.

Most of us here are Barça fans so we all love him but I must say, some of the characteristics (laziness & lack of motivation) he displays on field are things I’d be extremely critical of any player especially a top (generational) player like Messi.
Before the Croatia match I was expecting him to be pressing all match desperate to score and get in scoring position but it didn’t really happen. It was only the first half so I thought maybe he’s saving himself for the last 45 yet not much urgency there neither. It’s becoming the norm really, due to his past and current greatest, I’m expecting him to just ‘flip the switch’ when it’s critical but that hasn’t been the case for the past couple of seasons. This past season he was able to mask it a lot with the crucial free kicks.

Most people are fickle, the Argentinians included. They hailed Messi as a savior when he rescued them for a chance to play in the World Cup, now they are at the verge of elimination they made it sound like Messi is solely responsible for Argentina being so shit.
Messi was shit and he should shoulder a lot of blame as the captain and their biggest star but Argrntina’s problems are far deeper and beyond Messi.

I pictured Messi going out winning and dominating the game back when he was on his prime, I thought his game would age well and he would still be dominating like other athletes from other sports.
I was completely wrong, Football is probably the most unpredictable game, Messi now looks like he lost a step and he isn't winning major trophies, might not be the GOAT we all thought he was.

I doubt you speak for the whole country. I can understand the anger, but still....don t be an idiot.

It looks like Messi is even responsible for Sampaoli and Caballero shitshow.
Sampaoli and Caballero are Messi's friends and he wants them to play, no?
He probably injured Romero.

He for sure injured Romero and he for sure didn’t want Icardi in the team since he was affraid he could steal Antonella

Talked to some neutral football fans at work today, almost all of them are defending Messi (nobody said he played well) and found it ridiculous that he's gettig so much blame or even blame at all wth such an inepts squad and coach.
