Not true everything has to go through him by his own demands and that takes away alot. Same as Ronaldo's effect on Bale.

Does he feck. Suárez and Neymar score hatfuls from Messi's passes and miss another 2 for each time they score.
He's obviously dreaming of sunny Manchester and the lifetime supply of Mister Potato chips and Casillero del Diablo Woody promised him. No wonder his head in not in the game.
But they score way more than Henry, Ibra, Sanchez and Pedro ever did. They must be doing something right..
They are, they're fantastic players. Not saying otherwise, just saying Messi helps them much, much, much more than he hinders them.
The crazy thing about that last bit was that Algeria very well could have won it :/
They were very very good against Germany. That Algerian side was basically the French under 21s. Very technically gifted and athletic too. They matched them stride for stride.
I don't know about that.
Was the best player in the world when Messi was out IMO.
It's more mental with him I think.
He hinders Neymar cause he plays the role that Neymar is best at. Neymar plays his best football in a barca shirt when messi isn't there. Even for Brazil he has really dominant games of the sort he really hasn't had for barca with messi around.
I honestly feel he should go to United and rebuild the team. That would be the best for his brand. EPL is not that hard nowadays to shine as before.
Nah. There's pretty much no difference in Neymar's role. It's just that he's been playing terribly. He's still receiving loads of passes where he tries to either take his man on or start an attack, he's just been doing it really badly. When he was in red hot form he would receive, say, 10% more passes. But that doesn't change the role. It just means there's little quality on the other flank so his side gets used a wee bit more. Sometimes things just click, and sometimes they don't.
It's quite hard to stand out when Messi is the best player in the world by default and Suarez is scoring as if he is playing against Norwich in every game.
Though, if we can get him and then move Martial upfront, it can solve our headache of getting a 20 goal striker.

How are Barcelona affording all of this. Weren't they maxed out with regards to wages?
Resigns as Brazil captain after the win in the Olympics
Great decision. He wasn't mature enough for that responsibility.
Don't think Thiago will get it back.... So, Marcelo might be the new Captain of Brazil.
Also, Neymar did the right thing giving up the armband... Now, Ronaldo and Messi should do the same.
For a player so young and for a country with so much football tradition, I cannot believe the sole burden of Brazil football was placed on him at such a young age.
Funny thing is that the 2012 team was far superior than the 2016 team, however, Rafael really f up the Olympics gold medal game.

Simply based in his performances for the NT, he fully deserved the armband.
The moment he got the armband. His performances started declining for the NT. At one point, he had more yellow cards and suspensions than goals. This is a great decision to relinquish the armband. Now, he can just concentrate on his game and not worry about all the added pressure the armband brought especially for Brazil.
I see him in the PL in two years time.
He will be here to replace Zlatan. Ed has spent the last two windows working on him.
