Against Portugal and Ronaldo on penalty shootouts with Messi missing the crucial one and Ronaldo scoring the winning one?

Argentina will stomp us
So weird that I now don’t mind Argentina winning purely because of how it’ll make Ronaldo feel 
Some on here would actually commit suicide if that happened.
What a goal, Leo
Keeper should have saved it.
Argentina, such a bunch of cheating tw”ts, FIFA refs fall for it every time and there’s no sign of anything changing here.
I'd be surprised if Australia finish this with 11 on the pitch.
Huh? Messi has been amazing this season.Ankara Messi
We all knew and believed Messi was the greatest.
On a serious note, Ronaldo’s decline is nowhere near Messi’s decline.
Ronaldo already readying the appeal this goal was his
Nonsense. Vangle will smash them.
Lovely touch and finish.
Beich is an idiot though.

Sorry chief, Ronaldo is barely a footballer these days. Messi's level has now reached human levels.Ankara Messi

Based on what... Not that Netherlands have been massively impressive, but Argentina have been incredibly underwhelming both in possession, chance creation but also in defence. They just look... Meh. An average team with some good players, who look like they struggle with the pressure and just look to Messi who just can't do it all alone anymore
Really? They’re nothing special. Until that maniac for Australia fecked up they were starting to take control of the game and nullifying Messi quite easily.
Oz are nervous as hell now.
If France doesn't win it, I wouldn't mind if Argentina wins it. It would make Ronaldo cry and the Messi critics would have nothing more to saySo weird that I now don’t mind Argentina winning purely because of how it’ll make Ronaldo feel
Yeah against Pamplemousse FC maybe
It’ll be a different game to what we’ve seen today from your game vs USA and this now
People saying Holland will fancy their chances. But I think this Argentina side will rise to the bigger challenge
It promises to be a good game I think. Neither outcome will shock me but I’d still say Argentina might edge it (sorry too say)
Oh shut up Volumzia.
It was so stupid and unnecessary. Australia were in control, Argentina (and Messi in particular) were playing like they were asleep, and then this idiot tries to show he's some sort of hard man going up against the GOAT. Would be livid with him if I was a teammate.
Messi is such a ridiculous player.
An absolute privilege to have watched his whole career.

I love Messi, but 98% of those great games were in Ligue 1 with PSG.
He has been mediocre in the UCL against decent teams that can compete with PSG, and i don't see PSG winning the UCL this season either, he will probably leave as he doesn't have to prove anything anymore.
That’s what I mean. Ronaldo has genuinely and visibly declined. Messi is still a top quality player.
The calmness to wait for that defender to open up his stance to try and block and disrupt the vision of the goalie. You could see him waiting for it in slow mo.
Whether you pull for Arg or not it’s good to see moments of class like that from top players.

That's the most rolls I've ever seen Messi do.
The difference between Ronaldo and Messi at this stage in their international careers: Including Messi gives Argentina a shot. Including Ronaldo gives Portugal's opponents a shot.
Its fun watching two rivals (Messi and Ronaldo) in this WC. One is main man in his team and helping that team every game. Other one is the worst player of his team
I think my post got lost in translation. I meant Ronaldo has declined massively more than Messi has.
I really hope Australia go for this in the second half
Argentina are shite though.
Football 2-0 Soccer
Ronaldo is also two (?) years older, not exactly meaningless at their age
Messi with a goal today, Ronaldo with an assist yesterday 
Oh ok, that’s fine, your wording was a little backwards.
in fairness Ronaldo is two years older. He was still banging them in at 35. Messi is the GOAT though.
I mean Ronaldo is actually finished whereas Messi is still elite level.
They are both often talked about as if they are both at the end. Messi could still perform at this level for at least 2/3 more years.
With their lack of wingers, Argentina should go for a back 3 and WBs. Would help get Martinez in and push the fullbacks forward
Apart from those two cl finals
