It's great to see Messi still running around with a ball the way he did as a child, if he was English he'd have had that coached out of him by someone telling him to stop showing off.
Gwan Argentina, don’t deny me another day of people whining about Messi on this thread.

We would have demanded that he did more running. I suspect some Cov fans would rather have Jamie Allen.
One things for certain if Messi was English and Southgate picked him as a favourite ahead of James Maddison I’d be fuming
I got Argentina in the sweepstake and there are prizes for winner and most yellow cards so I guess this is fine.
I hope they get through first then destroy Argentina, so I can pickup my £100 winning’s.
Most ex-pros (or even current ones) don't actually understand the Laws of the Game.
Decent tournament?
It's an absolute crime and embarrassment.
The commentators literally said 'two great goals from Messi'.
Might as well be on acid.

Yeah, I find it odd they're considered peers in expertise here. You wouldn't ask a referee for his thoughts on three at the back versus a traditional 4-4-2 and take their views as equal to managers.
Therein lies the problem. And there will be at least another 56 years unless it is solved.
I think the atmosphere in the final last year played into the Italians’ hands with booing of the anthem, the constant booing of the players etc.
I think part of it is also a desire to win above all else and an expectation of winning.
I think should Messi win the World Cup it would be a fitting end to a superb career , he has had his best world cup by miles this time round , but let's remember the Argentines were on the back of a copa America and a 30 something unbeaten run before the World Cup.
They are a good side .
But I still don't want them to win it
So France need to prevail against Morocco to have a chance of stopping it
And as already stated , it's a shit choice between Argentina and France

Thinking that the commentators are going massively over the top for what was a shite shot and thinking that was a good run are not mutually exclusive belief systems
Shown an aggression I don't think I've noticed before.
Like I think his first goal (can't remember who against) but the defender was running up the line to finally get it away after some sustained pressure.
Messi just followed and edged him and the Ball into touch.
The anger and frustration on the defender's face said it all .
Throw in follows and the rest is history ,stroked a curled shot across the turf bang
it depends on situations
Lineker has an identical record to Batistuta
Coubillas is very close but he really wasn’t very good

Not sure why two hat-tricks against Greece and Jamaica in the group stages should count for so much in Batistuta’s favour - even Southgate has won more knockout games at the World Cup then him.
Your argument may have been valid a week ago, but Messi’s World Cup record already has him far beyond any Argentine not named Maradona, and that could even change this Sunday. It’s crazy to me that so many on here are upset to see it play out in our lifetime.
How many times a week do you have to replace the asterisk key on your keyboard, it must be absolutely knackered by now
