NIgel is right, they are more dangerous and exciting with a firing Messi, but Scaloni definiitely experimented without Messi during the qualifiers whenever he was injured, and the biggest indicators were the March International window in 2025 where they beat Uruguay and Brazil the top teams at the time without Messi convincingly. Then the Copa America 2024 where Messi struggled with injury all tournament and they won.
I don't know who is informing these guys but Messi isn't the whole project he's a piece of the project
Mbappe will most likely go on to overtake Messi in the most goals scored in WC but we must not take away from Messi that he didn't always have a very strong team around him, for example 2014 and 2018 WC Argentina squad was not that great and Messi had to carry them but 2022 and 2026 WC squad is definitely more complete with good squad depth. Whereas Mbappe has always had a stacked French team since 2018 WC, I feel this is something people don't take into consideration when comparing most goals scored in WC. That's why I feel what Leo has done deserves more credit but at the same time Mbappe also deserves his flowers.
7 + 5 = 12 goals since MESSI WAS 35y not 30y…BRO WTF!
Why tf are they asking an American?
messi the goat
all 5 goals are feom messi waoow🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
CBS really can't do better than Reo Coker & Troy Deeney ? 😂
G O A T
I don’t understand where that stupid narrative of Argentina having an old squad came from… the average age is 28… also we demolished Brazil without Messi and won the copa America with a below average Messi… journalists are just stupid
Messi missed the penalty so he can score in 38th minutes to close his 38 yeaes old age…Isn't that a coincidence?
I am a huge messi fan – but can’t help but think goals are easier to come by with the extended 48 team line up. R9 , pele and maradona will be forgotten with the number of goals players will score on the next 5 world cups
39 years old and still stands out like a sore thumb. His game intelligence is lightyears ahead of anyone else.
He starts moves and finishes them. Anything good in Argentina comes through him. His 2nd goal is nothing but sheer desire to get there first and score.
THE BEST IN HISTORY. LEO IS JUST UNREAL EVERYSINGLE TIME.
Who cares what is there playing style…they winning right?
It's not just about goals anymore. He's setting a new standard: Age more. Score more.
It’s incredible how ignorant people can be when they give their opinions. They haven’t watched a single Argentina match before this World Cup.
It’s never arguable!!!!
He’s the GOAT
Before the World Cup started everyone didn’t tip them as favorites!!! And they should keep it going like that
It is after the age of 35 years he's scored 12 goals not 30 years
There's only one goat and he's messi
I think it should be pointed out that Nigel was right in what he said about Messi’s 12 goals after 35+. Everyone laughed at him and told him to listen better. Good analysis Nigel lad
Ur commentator is missing a point. The team is focussing on Messi to win the Golden Boot so they concentrate on getting him the ball around the area to score. If he is injured or not playing then they'll focus on winning and getting the ball to the best person to score. Different way of thinking. Score as many in the group stage but play to win. After advancing it is not that important who scores just so that the team makes goals.
Mmbape is passing his record. Possibly this World Cup 🤯
Messi's 2nd goal be like:
"THEY'RE TRYING TO CONTAIN HIM… BUT IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK! THIS MAN IS JUST UNSTOPPABLE!" 🔥
5 FOR ARGENTINA, 5 FOR MESSI AND THEY ARE THRU TO THE THIRD GAME😂
Respect Blessed — Thanks be to GOD
I heard they need to play bigger team.. haha I agree, that no big team wants to play them until the final
Argentina is a squad of 25 men playing for their national hero. Portugal is 25 men playing in spite of theirs. It's the same in any job, everyone would rather work for a humble guy who excels at his work than a douchebag clinging onto the past.
Why would the question be “ what if they lose Messi ? “ smh have you no shame
