Which one final has Messi played well with Argentina? The ones where he bottled the penalties? or the time they beat Chile without him in the group stage and duly lost with him in the final?
There we go again with you Messi brigade and what everyone knows or don't, somehow in your narrow little minds,
everyone agrees on
everything. Argentina won the final inspite of Messi just 2 days ago.
Ronaldo has been topscorer for Portugal at every single tournament he's featured in except 2006, yet somehow he's been a ghost.
2016 Croatia was painfully mediocre cos they lost to Portugal, 2 years later they became an amazing side to beat Messi & co 3-0?
The Copa group stage was simply a pointless exercise, any team drawn in a group where 4 our of 5 qualify (together with sea-level Bolivia) were in the knockout stage already. Then they beat Ecuador who are probably worse anyone Portugal had to overcome in 2016 knockout stage. After that, needing penalties to beat a Colombia side without their star player.
Well done to Argentina on beating Brazil in the final, but it required as much luck as Portugal beating France did.
