The best weekend ever in football. Argentina winning the trophy for Messi and Italy taking it home to Rome😊
2 visitors took it back home
💪💪💪

It was beautiful
What a weekend
Best since the pandemic hit
I agree
Messi wins his first international title, Italy beats England to win the Euro, a perfect weekend for futbol.
But i wanted England to win😪
Imagine if England won, when they had lost their fans assaulted Italy fans, they booed opponents national anthem. When they reached the final it was looking like their were celebrating that win as they won the World Cup so just imagine if England would’ve won😰😰😰
Italy were more dominant in the game so I really think Italy deserved the win. Anyways congrats to Argentina
Italy is back.
@@milanjose7942 if you talk about deserving to win the title nobody deserves it more than Messi 😂 so Argentina deserved it more than any team in the world!
Messi winning the Copa America was very emotional.
True. Happy that Messi and CR7 2 Best Players in last 20 Years won Major Tournaments
Yeah,Im Argentinian,And i Think He Deserves More.
Agree he has carried them for ages and the team made it up by carrying him for the final and it doesn’t matter if he didn’t play well in the final he was outstanding apart from that in the whole tournament and without him they wouldn’t of made it!
@@YahiaChamp21 exactly
@@xchino0427 If Ronaldo fans still think the debate hasn’t ended even tho he has got an international trophy if he wins the World Cup in 2022 I am sure they can’t say anything
That last whistle was one of the most Satisfying football moments ever.
How they came to messi
those injury time seems to goes on forever
Well said
ESPN analysts are trash. They never have anything good to say about Messi and Argentina even thought they were excellent throughout the competition. They were all rooting for Brazil this whole time. Messi doesn't need your blessing. We the true fans know he's the goat.
Indeed
Shameless ..
I'm waiting for the excuse Shaka comes up with now.
hE HaS tO wIn aWOrlD CuP
I feel like it's the same for Italy. Commentators never have anything nice to say about Italy. Whatever. Our wins speak for themselves! I love Argentina, even more when they beat Brazil! 🤮
They are mad that none of their English players throughout history can never be better than messi.
They are still not talking how good the Argentine defense was.
Nah.. they're still bad, only great GK
Romero Masterclass
I am so impressed of him..
Otamendi was also very good
They played their hearts out. The right back dude's foot was covered in blood, still took on Vinicius and Neymar.
I always hope people keep degrading the Argentina defense so that everyone gets to see the true quality in World Cup.
Jorginho ballon dor? Are you kidding me???? Ahahhaa not even top 50 player! Individually he never stood out in any of his teams.
They always have to bring up players from the premier league.
The definition of Ballon D'or has been lost in translation to them!
Jorginho might make top 6 but messi will win it
As a chelsea fan whos supported jorginho since tuchel came in,he shouldnt even be top 10. Maybe,just maybe top 20,because of his accolades. Its laughable that people put "top scorer of chelsea" on his resume. All his goals are from 12 yards ffs
He also missed a decisive penalty...
Messi is the greatest player of all times even without winning copa America. He carried Argentina to a world cup final and 3 copa America finals. Luck counts at times. I am happy for him winning a trophy with Argentina. MESSI THE GOAT!
Nope he needs a WORLD CUP.

Yeah, and they comment on what a bad match it was... Although the Euro final wasn't a great match neither.
@@tiagoleikin4019 bad match? Argentina vs Brazil was fantastic. Refree was fair, there was tackle after tackle, if any Euro team play here they ll cry for foul.

And finals are never about beautiful football are about doing whatever you can to take the gold home because that is the only thing that will be scripted in the history books
7TH BALLON D'OR INCOMING. GOAT!
Hopefully. Man we will never see a guy as good as him again. Truly incredible
Might happen who knows the only one who ñooled likely was lewondowski but after this i think Messi so the favorite
Yes, please. I want to see CR wearing the number of Messi total Ballon D'Or in his back.
@@marcsugi Messi granted your wish
This is disappointing. All you guys ever do is give Messi and Argentina a hard time about them not winning and when it finally happens all u guys say is that it was a 'bad' tournament. So the Euro final was 'good' right? Ridiculous how biased you all are. Craig literally said he had'nt been paying attention to the competition, so how is he even qualified to speak on it?

I'd rather watch South American teams play each other over and over again than watch France and Germany and Portugal stat padding against Gibraltar and Luxembourg.
At least Bolivia and Venezuela are going to give a good account of themselves and make life difficult for the big boys and not roll over and concede 6 and 7 goals🙄
Exactly me too
Before this year (id say the euros this year were better than the copa, fan atmosphere played an unfair role in that lol) id imagine cconmebol games would be like a war with attacking and desperate defending anf uefa games boring 1-0 matches
Although it has changed for me i still would watcg brazil v argentina rather than england v germany
Exactly! Also South American teams do not have any copa America qualifiers either which means they can only count their wc qualifiers, copa America games and friendlies for stats.
You can watch what ever you like son. No one is forcing you. Why you creating so much drama? You want attention?1
And 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. Its like a friendly local tournament, comparable to Nations League at best. It has just 10 teams. They even invited Japan once 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. Cheers, ya'll have a good day.
@@deadpool8422 no big deal to you but argentinians care a ton look at their celebrations that you think and the AFA will celebrate this victory

Luckily, Messi will definitely win the Ballon D‘Or no matter what ESPN says 🤣 What before Copa you said Lewandowski, now that Messi won the title, you say Jorginho 🤣 Its just crazy, we all know who is the best, but we know that the only way we can interpret a player better than Messi, we dont care about the individual performance but the achievements of the club and country they play for. Argentina has been in the Copa finals, wether they were in good or absolute catastrophic shape because off the fact that they had Messi. Since Messi joined the national Team there has never been a time where they were actually a good Team. You couldnt make an argument whatsoever LITERALLY except Lionel Messi. ITS CRAZY. Their midfield was slow, defense was shaky, the offense had good names but never opposed a threat. But just because off that lil fella they were competitive. Now is the first time you can make an argument that they are able to hold a lead, win the midfield, defend with some kind of consistency. But never ever could we make that argument before. And Now look what happened 👀. thats the key to winning that final, because its too much pressure to be decided by one man. So even if he would have lost it, it doesn’t mean much to me in the ballon d‘or debate. In my eyes, the Ballon D‘Or stands for the BEST player. The one you can give the ball to and just enjoy. Just him and the ball, no matter which club or country he wants to represents because everyone has his own priorities. If Messi would be orientated on all the prizes and glory he‘d just play for Spain. But you guys just want to hand it to the ones who were the MOST SUCCESSFUL, when we all know that success is a product of the teams’ efforts.
Real football players who have been through ups and downs, played for a team where they had so much loyalty towards eventho they felt like they were let down by their teammates, will appreciate Messi’s career. He means so much to football. It will not be the same without him. There is no comparison. Not even in the slightest.
Well said
True
Why do they keep saying this final was bad? I was entertained…
They are clowns
Level of ball was poor
The overall level of football quality was Poor, it was messy, clumsy, and rickety. It’s just how South America tournaments and games are nowadays. The physicality is unmatched . I was However entertained, and was on the edge of my seat. For two reasons , one was that it was the desperation watching Argentina get the job done , and the other was the tackles they were putting in. I can’t lie it was badass watching Neymar go on the counter and watching two, three, four Argentinians desperately trying to foul Neymar to kill the counter.
They are idiots...
@@alexzuniga7677 It's called tactics mate ! If you watched Arg vs Bolivia , they played differently . This is Brazil you know so if you choose to attack it's game over. I don't think playing beautifully and losing the cup like France is favourable though .
Only player in football history to have won a country major tournament, highest goals,highest assists and player of tournament, he has now the most player of tournament in history now having one more than Pele...he has without a doubt cemented his place as the greatest of all time... 7th balon dor is 100% certainty... to all the deluded haters suck on that hahahaha

Both tournaments are so different from each other.

Let’s not forget that De Paul , lo Celso, and parades will be even better, and they still have Messi, Lautaro, and papu, di maria , and Agüero , it’s only 16months times so let’s hope the old guard or whatcer front three they have are still playing relatively well .

@@mu3addz594 your just a fanboy, and guess what? Brasil lost, now thats a MARACANAZO
i am happy for Messi i hope he wins the world cup in 2022
One thing I have noticed that most of ronaldo fans think that these pundits don't appreciate Ronaldo while Messi fans too think that pundits don't appreciate Messi 😂😂 .... By the way very happy for Messi and especially Dimaria ..
Y'all got to be kidding me.
For someone who are supposed to unbiased, y'all are so biased 😂
ESPN is a joke.
Too bad. My 🐐 has done it. ❤️
Only Messi haters would not like Messi to win the 7th ballon dor. He was blamed for so long for not winning with the national team - now he did, and he was player of the tournament with most goals. Ballon dor to him!
If frank really thinks Jorginho should win the Balon D’or, then he needs to be taken off this show ASAP😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
They're All Terrible the only Ones with Credible Takes are Gab & Sid & they're Barely On everyone else is 🚮
They talked more about how bad competition is instead of giving credit to the winners and the team
You guys on ESPN debate like you can walk into messi shoes I never debate who the goat was between Lionel Messi and Ronaldo from the day messi was Introduced to Professional football I know he's the GOAT
They want C. Ronaldo to win some thing😂
Poor ESPN is just getting paid to say worst thing about Messi don't worry ESPN he's Soon gonna win the Dubai D Or😉😂😂😂then you rubish People would Acknowledge Him for his achievement💪 😂.
I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money, invest some of it if you really want financial freedom
I invested in both gold and crypto but the crypto is more profitable
Investing in cryptocurrency is one of the best chance of making money 💸
Stocks are good, crypto is better
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
@@stonescholes242 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Michael Wayne
How Bad The Final Was? Seriously, These Pundits Say Football Has Gone Soft And When They See A Physical Game They Say Its Bad Great Hypocrisy They Just Want To Degrade Copa And Uplift Euro Thats It
Italy and Argentina. What a beautiful weekend. My 2 favorite teams!
Had Messi lost the finals, there would've been a 30 minute video showcasing all the missed chances in this match and in his previous 4 finals. Now just a 6 Minute video and most of the part they openly say that they were not interested in this tournament/ How violent this tournament is.. and most of all, they sarcastically say that this tournament is not such a big deal.. ESPN should just stick with their NBAs and NFLs and stop interfering with Football and my god please calling football as soccer..
I really wanted to see Shaka today that fool 💀🤣😂🤣
Hahah 😂😂
Espn is mad because Copa America had higher tv ratings than the boring euros.
Best part is ESPN squad crying inside and had to do this ..hail Messi 👏🏽👏🏽
Ive seen a trend with 'pundits' , with the copa America final was bad , bunch of Europeans with one exception trying to badmouth the Copa tournament and acting as if the Euro is the pinnacle of footballing standard. Each and every match in Euro's went to extra time almost, patterned tactics with no flair and creativity of skills . That is european football for you !
That's European thinking . There league is best , there international cups are best . But from where will you bring the players like messi Maradona , Ronaldinho , phenomeno , rivaldo , Romero , cafu , Carlos yaa they have Lithuania Luxembourg teams for steppadding and scoring 5-6 goals against them ....and they will say it's best thing I ever seen
My heart absolutely sank when Messi squandered that 1 on 1 chance.....football can be really cruel at times
It happens bro and don't forget that he was playing with an injury
Where is Shaka hiding. He always says Messi isn't the GOAT bcoz he doesn't have a international trophy.
It's OVER anti-Messi trolls. GOAT status SECURED.
@AD7 He already has 6; he doesn't care. Lewandowski is great... but NEVER in the GOAT conversation.
P.S. Lewandoski will never win anything at international level.
@AD7 Why do ppl like you have him in your pfp if you dont like him?
@@christianopulinaldo8319 He's a toxic Ronaldo fangirl. He's salty that his only argument against Messi is dead and gone.
@@rodycaz8984 , if lewandowski wins what should have been his second ballon dor, he’ll definitely be in the goat debate
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI , we can because Ronaldo has won 2 both from Europe which is more competitive than the Copa América as the last 4 World cups have been won by European teams
What’s up with all these backhanded compliments on Messi? It may not have been his best game but the team won in the end and that’s what matters. Let the man live lol
Wow; the Euro 2020 final was so great? You guys need to stop hating on Copa America.
Ikr
South American futbol hits different, I play with some SA guys and they go into tackles 100 percent 😂😭🥲
Everyone who has played professional football or is a dedicated fan of the sport regardless of the team he or she cheers for, will tell you that Messi is the best player ever, if they are being true. Not because he singlehandedly won Copa America 2021 while being named player of the tournament, top scorer and top assist provider. Trophy or no trophy, Messi not just scores amazing goals but he also creates by picking the ball at his own defense line, dribbles and assists in a breathtaking manner. Messi doesn’t own a trophy to Argentina, Argentina owns a trophy to Messi. He has singlehandedly led that mediocre team of theirs to four consecutive finals including the World Cup 2014 where he was named player of the tournament, only to be let down by his own team. Just like at Barcelona he is not just their top scorer but also their top assist provider, something unheard of. The Argentina football federation is one of the most corrupt football federations in the world. As someone who has spent 20 years at his own country‘s football federation I know for a fact that is next to impossible to build a competitive team when the football federation is that corrupt.
Yes!!!! 7th ballon d’or in coming
Messi deserves it 🥰
I hope he win Wc 2020. Undisputed goat
Football has delivered justice for Messi. From now on let’s just enjoy Messi playing before he retires
Best weekend for Sports :
Messi and Argentina wins Copa America first time vs Brazil in the Brazil soil.
Italy wins Euro 2020 vs Toxic England after 53 years in the England soil.
Djokovic wins his 20th Grand trophy and equalises with Nadal and Federer.
Bangladesh cricket Team wins by 220 runs vs Zimbabwe in Test.
All in 10-11th July
Bonus Fact- C.Ronaldo won his first International Trophy Euro 2016 in 11th July.
Messi also won his First International Trophy Copa America 2021 in 11th July.
Now this is called FOOTBALL❤
