2006-2018-2010
And 2022 coming off the bench.
Almost zero defense, but this team would score 5 goals every game

Only in football Messi could play at the level he did from 2009-2013 and 2015 and there would be no agreement that he's the best.Because everything boils down to goals and nothing else.

Why is this bum talking about the WC? He never played in one. Chances are he never will.

Interesting that you bench 2022. I see current Messi as more fit for being the playmaker, as he's slower than 4 years ago. Plus he seems to assist every game nowadays. This team surely needs a good defence, what do you think?
I'd have the likes of Lothar Matthaus and Roy Keane in midfield, and a back four of Maldini-Beckenbauer-Nesta-Cafu. Neuer between the sticks.
In fairness he plays for a nation of perennial losers/bottlers in the world of football, i mean, even if prime Brazilian Ronaldo or Pele played for Norway we still wouldn't qualify for anything.
He could have picked England though, make life easier for himself.

stunning
Ronaldo needs to grow his hair and change his hairstyle. This short hair is his worst hairstyle.
Still mogs Messi with ease(hardly an uphill task lmao) but come on bruh, you need to get rid of that crappy hairdo!

2022 Messi seems to assist every game because he plays with Mbappe and Neymar, rather than old Suarez and the other bums
And no disrespect to the 2022 version, but I don't get why being slower is an advantage over the 2018 version. The way I see it, taking into consideration the last few months leading to the WC, this is how I would rank the versions:2010>2018>2022>2014>2006

For me, I would rank this way
2010>2022>2018>2014>2006
For me, 2022 is a much better leader than 2018 and 2022 seemed to recover that physicality back which is on par for me as that of 2018.
A shame that 2010 didn't had a better coach. Could have done some good damage with 2010 and with a better squad selection.

My bad, I didn't use the right words when writing this. That part about him being slower as if it was an advantage makes no sense
I was meant to add that I trust the 2022 Messi more than 2018(also taking into account the good Argentina moment that they have), and if he were to start with the other Messis he would be a classic 10, since he's not as fast as he was 4-5 years ago. He's been through a lot and certainly has the experience now(though he was experienced for big games even when he was fairly young)and is probably a better leader for the national team. The team spirit is also good, so that certainly counts. So yeah, 2018 Messi would be better off the bench for me.Just seen soul24rage also mentioning the "leader" and the physicality part. He's certainly going into the tournament in a very good form, also due to the fact that this World Cup is taking place during mid-season.

Fair enough, could run for president though. A la George Weah.
