Nobody was his "target". The only thing he was saying is that the wc trophy means much more to him than the golden boot. (Probably every single footballer on earth thinks the same way).
Messi becoming world champion isn't a bad thing and I would be happy for him (and all the Ronaldo fanboys).
Still I want my country more to win it. I mean with the players we have now, today really is THE big chance also for the near future. We do have a relatively young team, but next wc some...
