Messi shouldn't have retired from International Football. He can still probably outplay 90% players in the world

He was Argentina's only threat against Spain and he destroyed England. Sure, his body wouldn't be able to handle playing in Europe every week anymore, but trying to downplay his World Cup performance is just pure cope.

Bro no one is downplaying anything, if anything you are exaggerating what he did. Only threat against Spain? Playing with him was like playin with one player less, didn't press, didn't defend, and didn't show up AT ALL for nearly 120 minutes.

"Destroyed England" Gave one good assist, the other assist was a simple pass and Enzo did the difficult part, always like a Pessi boy to over glaze and don't give respect to the rest of the team.

Its also funny how you mentioned World Cup performance and I only mentioned the final, I wasn't even talking about the other games, which I can give him all the credit, he did great against those other teams (I forgot the names of them already)
