    Ronaldo will have a statue of modric in his room if he takes Messi out of world cup 😂😂😂

    Hope they do it for Messi seen him three times at Camp Nu,Croatia with 4 million population would be cool as well,Morocco I hope they knock the French out,any body but them.

    I think it is just because Messi desperately wants to win the World Cup, fate will see Croatia winning the match and going on to face France, again, in the final. Argentina's and Messi's desperation will play against them.

    Pressure??? What pressure, he lose the 2014 world cup finale and 2015 Copa America in penalty shoot out and 2016 golden Copa America for 100 years and lose again against Chile in penalty shoot out. Liverpool make a miracle come back. Bayern destroy Barca 8-2. All those are pressure on Messi. And he finally relief that Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 to win the Copa America. And going into 2022 wc he has nothing to lose but everything to gain.

    Shaka is a clown and the quality of the show would significantly go up if they stopped calling him.

  6. SellingOptions

    Stevie is right on difference of pressure as compared to before. This time, Argentina and the rest of Messi fans have accepted him as the GOAT regardless if he wins or not.

  7. Bilal Ahmad

    No need for any pressure. He's already the greatest. Play freely. He's already done a lot.

  8. Obed Ofori-Mensah

    There’s no pressure on him. It is these same media guys that put that “pressure” on him. Just chill,enjoy the beautiful game and discuss these matters after the game and not before it 🤦🏾‍♂️

  9. Ralph Muskinyaar

    To me he’s the greatest to ever walk on a football pitch. But just to shut up these idiots who think he’s not, I’d like him to win it.

    All I want is a more convincing win tomorrow. One that will tip the scales to let persons say they might actually beat whoever they face in the finals. A 3-0 win with a Messi brace or goal/assist is what I’d love but idc as long as they win and get to the finals tbh 🤞🏽🇦🇷 🙏🏽

    That would be an unbelievable football match where both squads would want to win at any cost. Argentina has seeds of vengeance whereas Croatia dreaming of a new world cup final. On the other hand, there's so much pressure on Messi and at the same time, Croatia thinks of how to stop him because, when Lio dominates the ball, he's unstoppable. In fact, he demonstrated what he was made of when he attended in order to Molina scores the 1st goal against Netherlands.

    Blah Blah Blah…. idiots… You gon Learn Today!!! bye bye Argentina… Can't wait for the 'I can't believe Croatia so good' why are all football 'experts' blind lmaoooooooo

    tHis is my two cents, if he win the WC Argentina and his fans will celebrate.But, if he fails, his fans (not argentinians) will still celebrate however he will surely be down by Argentianians and no ending comparison to Maradona. Ronaldo did a lot in Portuguese football but not all of them happy with the way he played in WC so much so after they eliminated. Zlatan experienced the same way as well.

    Older generation v younger generation trope is BS. Every serious football lover no matter the age appreciates all that came before them, if you don't then you are a cissyfan, which is the majority I suppose. Maradonna is better by far, he won the WC and took a lousy team like Napoli to 2 Calcios. Messi plays for the best team in the world, Barca, he SHOULD win, that is normal NOT special. Fact he has not won the WC makes sense, he isn't that good. Not forgetting how hard the game was in the past, Messi would not last 2 seasons.
    I also hate the fact that other players have been ignored in this. Charlton, Garicha,Jarzinho, Platini, M.Laudrup, Van Basten are in the same class as Messi if not better.
    Further, why does anyone else have to be " convinced " of anything ??? If you believe something, then so be it, fact that you need others' support shows you know you are talking BS.
    Then again cissy fans = cissy talk. 😄

    they didnt let stevie finish hahahah

    ​PrimeVanchis He already has World cup final. Why can't people put it on the same level (or almost) with a World cup win. It is only a match, and anything can happen in a football match. People should stop concluding someone's 20 year of legacy and over 1000 matches played on a single football match.

  17. B P H

    You do know croatia bout to shut it down once again.

  18. Austin Cox

    I'm sorry, Shaka. Messi losing vs. Croatia or in the finals doesn't affect his current status of being in the G.O.A.T. conversation. That take is very, very, very rare.

  19. Salamander

    I am excited for the rise of angry Messi. He'll cheat, he'll dive, he'll fight, he'll get in the face of your coach. Messi is digging into the bowels of his psyche to meet the energy demands of a highly specific and chaotic outcome. To use your will to choose a specific outcome amongst a world of people with dreams and desires, many of which oppose yours, and for you to be the chosen one whose wish is granted, you have to go to the darkest pits. You have to summon the dark hadou.
