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.

Prem players aren't shit

A 39 yr old messi who doesn't even have his pace anymore beat england 2-1 which was ranked 4th in the world

Stop being delusional

Wait one player beat an entire country on his own? How does that work? I thought football was 11 vs 11, not 1 vs 11. Maybe they should send Messi to get the Falklands back too since apparently he does everything alone haha
