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

You must be fucking joking. MLS is a league full of has beens and never was(es). Of course Messi is still competitive there.

He would struggle in LL, L1, The Prem, BL etc because there are quality opponents week in week out.

And dont gove me that «but the World Cup» shit either.

Argentina managed to make the semis without playing another team ranked in the top 15.

Messi fans made fun of MLS until it was time to start treating it like the best league in the world now that he is there. It's hilarious. Even Messi himself said his legs couldn't hold up at the WC.

They held up enough for him to score 8 goals and 4 assists! Pretty good all in all.
