![MESSI & ARGENTINA TO THE WORLD CUP FINAL [FULL REACTION] | ESPN FC](/img/n.gif)
With that weight off their shoulders, Argentina might play very well come the World Cup.
I completely agree. This is my grasping as well especially with Messi. Any international cup he will be a monster.
True and they got a keeper n good defense finally
@@anas6695780 ita good but unreliable..Otamendi can make silly mistakes
European teams are miles ahead of South American teams.

The beat Brazil in Brazil at the Maracana. In the final! That should be enough....
it is a feat not even Maradona was able to do... Argentina never beat brazil at home soil so this is definitely special. many records were broken and history made
Not enough, you need to add 'y' in your first word.
Beating Brazil at the Maracaná is something teams dream of
Ballon d'Or?
@@andyshih4117 ...did'nt germany beat brazil 7-1 in the 2014 world cup semi final held in brazil?
The whole world 🌎 wanted it for Messi
A life changing moment. I'm sure we will see good projects stemjng from living without the thorn that impeded him to be his greatest self.
I pray that his prayers reach all the gates. Protector of innocents, the oppressed, all that suffer horrible fates, may they turn around for a life of greatness and freedom without violence and abuses.
Nope. Only messi fans. You cannot speak for the whole world, you are just one messi fan.

Sure sure…keep stating that even when Messi wins his 7th Ballon d’Or 😂😂😂
@@deadpool8422 poor child ... stop crying
"It's not the World Cup". With that logic, what a horrible player Cruyff was.
Well said. That's one of the dumbest logics I heard.
I hope he wins the WC, Copa America will do for now. But downplaying the WC , like it don’t matter, with that logic, why don’t we just say everyone is the best. If the WC don’t matter then no championship matters, let’s just all say that everyone is the best.
@@namenotfound8747 Not downplaying the WC. Just saying the team trophies has nothing to do with how good a player is, it has to do with how the team is, how the manager is, how the fans are, how is the economic situation in country, things that a player has no control over. Also to win a world cup you need luck to be on your side, not just talent.
@@Thegaminglunatics exactly
yup and by that same Logic Giroud is better than Messi and Ronaldo
It might not be the World Cup but this is absolutely HUGE. A trophy neither Maradona nor Pelé were able to win during their illustrious careers, won in the Maracanã, against Brazil? It hardly gets better than that. From a Brazilian, my most sincere congratulations to Messi and the whole Argentina squad, they played like they REALLY wanted it and were more deserving.
I didn't know that Pele and Maradona weren't able to win this. Thanks for the information and yes, congratulations to Messi. Also, I have been impressed over the years with Brazilian passion and sportsmanship, especially the sportsmanship. Like applauding Germany's 7th goal in that World Cup, I don't see the fans of any other country in the world doing that. And of course, Neymar, showing the same, crying over losing, then giving Messi a long embrace of congratulations. We could use more of that in this world.
Bruh... Maradona and pele won much higher than this trophy... 😂😂😂
@@fightingforce8498 well but this throphy is something else, you’re not playing against another ghost country... South American teams are not Faroe Islands or Marocco (with all the respect for both) Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Brazil and even Bolivia in his high ground are really though and i will love to see Portugal, Spain or England trying to beat any of this countries nowadays
@@fightingforce8498
Pelé, Maradona, Garrincha, Passarella, Puskas, Zico, Sócrates, Recoba etc
None of these players have won the Copa America..
Zico and Sócrates are considered some of the greatest players of all time…yet they couldn’t win World Cup or Copa America..
@@matc2094 So you are just completely going to ignore all the other teams in Europe such as France, Germany, Spain, England, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark? Any of these teams would destroy any South American team that is not Brazil or Argentina.

He played a WC final and was also player of the tournament in that WC...
And top scorer too lol.
@@samsanabani295 top scorer was James Rodriguez I guess
But yaa Messi was the player of the tournament
@@ayansengupta1882 by that best player award messi has, it already proof what has johan cruyff said was right, " there is a difference between THE GOALSCORE and THE BEST PLAYER".
@@fakrulazam1046 yaa🔥
that world cup messi doesn't deserve the player of the tournament award, its just a branding moved from adidas, i don't remember him performing that good in any of the knockout matches, if they wanted to pick any player from argentina then perhaps the goalie or mascherano should have it, then again it is still unfair for the german players like nuer, hummels, lahm, schweinsteiger and muller who had been exceptional throughout the tournament
There is nothing to argue anymore . The GOAT debate was over when Messi was 23 , the media debate is over now.
Leo Messi , a truly special player . Simply the best .
Can you not argue that Ronaldo has had an equal/slightly better career?
Pele and Maradona won the world cup.
Hard to say there is nothing to argue anymore
They’ll find something new to bring up bro. They’ll need him to win the World Cup now. He’s been the GOAT since 23 as you said, they know it but they can’t admit it
It’s a Copa. Not a World Cup. And the Copa is not a tournament that teams have to qualify for, never mind that it’s not as competitive as South Americans like to believe. Uruguay is the most successful team in the tournaments history. Nuff said. Messi has to win a WC. Just like everyone else had to.
Sure wierdo cr7 would have won everything if he played in the Copa America Golden boot in Europe wer the best play cr7 would have 2 to 300 more goals if he played against Peru Salvador Mexico USA lol come on
@@happykaladin78 whatever makes u sleep my son ... The debate is over Messi is the greatest player to ever live

Ronaldo won the EURO from the bench... please... stop it, ESPN UK. Ronaldo won that EURO the same way Aguero won the Copa América.
Can someone explain what Copa America means in basketball terms? Only heard of World Cups
@Mike Cage exept that Ronaldo was neither top scorer, assister & dribbler/creator nor the best player of that 2016 Euro that Portugal won for him while Messi owned this Copa both individually & collectively
@Mike Cage Ronaldo was criticized for underperforming the whole Euro 2016, if there was anyone carrying it was Pepe and Patricio. Know your facts
@Mike Cage well Ronaldo didnt had an elite performance ever in his international career. Messi had elite performances in atleast a WC and 2 Copas. This is coming from a portuguese btw, Ronaldo didnt even score a single goal in a WC playoff how can you even compare him to other international legends? And Messi actually had poor performances specially in the 2019 copa and 2018 wc
Then he and aguero are the same .... But messi IS G.O.A.T
Bravo Messi bravo you deserve it

Argentina won Copa America for the 15th time. Its no big deal. There have been 5 copa americas in the last 10 years, no real value. And they won it after 28 years coz Messi failed to win 3 copa finals in 2007, 2015 and 2016. Its like a friendly local tournament, comparable to Nations League at best. It has just 10 teams. They even invited Japan in Copa America 2019 to participate in it, but the Japanese knew that copa is just a friendly local tournament between a few south american countries so they didn't take it seriously and sent their B team instead.

That's the difference between Messi and Ronaldo.
For Ronaldo's level Euro is enough.
For Messi's level Copa America plus World Cup will be enough.
He's that good so that's actually indirectly a compliment but people trying hard to again bring this debate in life.
But they forget Messi took Argentina to the final all by himself and won the best player of the tournament award while finishing 2nd.
Which final? he did not score any goal after the first round 2014 and went to sleep in the final againts gernany. What about the miss chances in all of the 5 finals he has been in? Stop mislead people get your facts before you talk .
@@georgegilbert9100 According to you Ronaldo is still asleep for Portugal. The only Euro Portugal won Ronaldo was screaming from the sidelines and never took his team to the finals and never played a full final for Portugal but just shouted and while Messi won the best player of the World Cup in 2014.
@@georgegilbert9100 sleep against germany. Lol. Have you watched the match. Dude was giving german defence all they could handle. It was just not their day. Moreover, that guy scored all the goals for his country in group stage and single handedly guided the team to KO stages. And he was superimpressive in KO stages. I think he has couple of assists there. On the otherhand ronaldo has never been to WC final or semi final. He had superb team in 2018. But he just cannot impact the game on the level that messi does. If CR cannot score his utility is done for.
@@georgegilbert9100 This shows that u are one of the stat merchant ppl. Messi didn't scored a goal but played better than Di Maria who scored the goal. If Messi scored that last min goal he would have got the motm. That's how the world works unfortunately. If u scored, then u get motm. If u do not score, u don't get motm no matter how well u played the game. If that's the case, then how u ppl are shamelessly claiming that Ronaldo is better than Messi just because he won Euro when he didn't even played the final?😂😂
And won Olympic gold for Argentina in 2008 in Beijing. That's no mean feat.
He lost 4 copa final and 1 world cup final. He dragged argentina to World Cup and gave france a good scare too with that horrible handicapped 2018 team. Messi the greatest of all time. Not because he won. But because he is one of kind when it comes to basic of football. His talent unparalleled. 🌹

I have never seen this type of friend ship in sports history how they played for messi , when the game finished how they only seen messi and ran to hug for messi its so incredible 👏👏
Honestly if Argentina had Martinez as goalkeeper they would have won all the copa América finals and probably even the World Cup.
Romero was playing really well in the World Cup
Although I don’t know about the copa Americas
But I can’t deny that Martinez is a hungry beast looking to eat players
My guy havent seen romero in 2014 wc?
Won us the semi final penalty shootout pretty much on his own
So yh
I dunno, maybe one of the Copa America finals, not both. Certainly not the world cup because that goal by Gotze was well placed. I think Di Maria being injured in each of those finals was actually the biggest miss for Argentina.

Undoubtedly Leo Messi is the best footballer ❤️
It could have been his 6th championship instead of first. It was just bad luck and poor team management that they didn’t win more. What a great bunch of stars they had and now they won it when only 4 of those stars are still playing….
Bad luck is a factor but I think their main problem was bad management. Every coach that has been at the helm of Argentina has always tried to focus all their offensive plays around getting the ball to Messi when every other team they've gone against has always been to make sure of one thing, keep the ball away from Messi no matter what. Scaloni has used Messi more to assist rather than to go for the execution since he seems to always be fighting off 3 or more players can easily create openings while keeping the defense distracted.
Agree, but at least he won one :)
If Di Maria could play in those finals ...
@@themerovingian7154 Would have made a huge difference as there would be someone else trying to do something other than pass to Messi

Argentina was given no chance in 86. They came in looking awful and then clicked. Same in 2014 and made it to the final and many say were better until that incredible Germany goal in extra time.

You'll have people tell you that the WC is all that matters. But the WC with 16 teams is a lot different than what it is now with 32 and soon to be 48. The continental titles are important. That's why period care about the Euros and Copa America. There are players in Europe that have won both and say it's harder to win the Euros than the WC in today's era. Tell me Neymar and Brazil don't care. Tell me Messi and Argentina don't care. It's a big deal.

There is no player on earth that competes with him. He is no doubt the most accomplished player individually in *FOOTBALL* . The best there is, the best there has been and possibly the best there ever will be. 🐐
If Messi chose Spain years ago instead of Argentina, he would've already been with 2 Euros and a World Cup. But he didn't, he chose his true nation and has been carrying them on his back for years and years. He has held the blame of all the players who did mistakes on his shoulders, but now he did it. In my book at least, he is THE GREATEST EVER.

This particular Argentina team are indeed genuine contenders for the next WC. They are not perfect but appear to be hungry to improve with each and every game they play together. The most important improvement is they are finally playing as an unwaveringly dedicated team which is precisely what had been missing during their previous attempts. Only a fool or a true hater would be stupid enough to write them off.
Argentina has improved immensely since the last world cup, they just need to get even better and score 2,3 goals to kill the game because games can turn sometimes, there are one and half years in the world cup so there is plenty of time to improve
Where is Shaka
He is preparing for thursdays game against El Salvador..
U deserve this many years back .. legend
This Argentina team is so promising and really got a complete team. Goalkeeper: Emi Martinez, Defence: Romero, Otamendi, Acuna, Taglifiaco, Lisandro, Montiel, Molina. Midfield: Lo Celso, Paredes, De Paul, Guido, Buendia, Wingers: Di Maria, Papu Gomez, Dybala, Nicolas. Strikers: Lautaro, Aguero, Playmaker: MESSI.
Maldini played in one league his whole career.
And has no world cup but is widely considered the GOAT defender. Double standards for messi
Messi is the GOAT
Be ready cause Messi and Argentina will win the World Cup in 2022!
3:10 had me in tears 😢
I love Argentina so much
We want messi to win wc just to see him happy cause he already the goat 😘
Stevie right on the money there
Happy for Lionel Messi
They our great side well done messi and co from England fan
I'm a Ronaldo fan, but genuinely happy for Messi.
What I love about Messi winning the Copa America is that it balances the debate between who the better player is. Before this, people could argue it was Ronaldo because he had 1 more major trophy than Messi (and an international trophy too), something Messi doesn't have. Now I wish both of them retire with the trophies they have and the debate between who is better, Messi or Ronaldo will never even. And thats what makes it so great. It will be talked about in football for years.
At the end of the day:
Ronaldo 1 Euro Messi 1 Copa
Ronaldo 5 UCLs Messi 4 UCLs
Ronaldo 5 B.D'or Messi 6 B.D'or
@@iceice0000 but messi is going to win his 7th ballon d'or
goat
😌🐐
As an Argentina and Italy fan, this has been a great summer for me. Man City fan club level so mostly a great spring bar the Chelsea games in FA cup semi and UCL final. Pep's experimentation smh
VAMOS MESSI love from 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
The whole world wanted it for him.
No. He should have lost😂😂
World Cup 2022 favourites:
1. Spain
2. Italy
3. France
4. Argentina
5. Germany
I think England should be there as well
Keep going legend
Thank you, Mr. Moreno.. thank you very much, for putting it so nicely :)
Where is shaka hislop who told again and again that Messi is not a GoAt?
Those who are saying Copa America doesn't matter listen going to a World Cup Final and 4 finals and winning one of them is 10 times better than winning Euro by a FLUKE they were 3rd in the group stage and didn't win any knockout match without penalty shootouts till the Semis the only good team they faced was France and they didn't even win one match in the group stage 😂
Copa América winner Chile knocked out Euro winner Portugal and Mr Tap in Pendu in the last Confederations Cup.
Portugal never ever won major trophy untill ronaldo, argentina have won fucking loads.
Arcticman This was Argentina’s first trophy since 1993
@@dalymufc whatever makes u happy son... The debate is over Messi is the greatest player to ever live
Chile not qualify for wc 2018
So happy for messi. No one desrves it more than he does💙
Been a long time since I listened to their analysis and liked it.
MESSI ❤❤❤🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
*I think Argentina beating Brazil in Brazil at Maracana is synonymous to India beating Australia in Australia at Gabba(the fortress) but at a much higher scale.*
BTW India beat Aus in cricket.
Imagine if he had won the World Cup, probably would win all the subsequent finals because the whole team confidence is even greater
Its coming home🇦🇷
Espn panel spitting facts after facts after facts, that’s nice for a change.
