As I said in my comment before, this was a great match and was a great performance by Argentina, but people just tend to praise Messi, who was fantastic but the fact is players like Di Maria, Higuain and Kun contributed a lot to Messi's goals. It's obvious that Argentina got a great squad, and Messi is not the only star. The reason why Argentina did not play too well in the world cup or before, is because they did not have a good team chemistry and the more they play together the better they become, and in this match they proved how good they are when they play more together
Fantastic performance by argentina? Not really, actually they were terrible & brazil played really well. I'm really impressed at neymar, marcelo & oscar. You seems a little biased. Despite the assist higuain & di maria was terrible in this match. Actually the whole team played badly. They pulled off a win because they just have the edge on firepower with messi
@Maleeficent You should get your eyes checked. Sean said that Messi was fantastic and that Argentina had a great game, and it's true what he said, Messi was fantastic and for any team to beat Brazil and score 4 goals past them counts as a great performance, whether you admit it or not. So.... Brazil played really well yet they lost? Lmao And Argentina played bad yet they scored 4 past Brazil and won? Lool And it was all down to Messi, while Di Maria and Higuain assisted him with two goals? Your affirmation is totally pathetic. Get a new brain and a new pair of eyes
.... And the other day Pele said that the number one player in the world is Neymar. Who is Neymar, that young man playing for Santos in a brazilian league? This is a clear lesson from Messi. Brazil is going to have a hard time trying to win the next world cup, even in its own soil
Nice entertaining game to watch, yet it doesn't actually teach us anything about either team: it felt as if the players were all on vacation having fun. That's probably why the score was so large.... So please don't be that guy who thinks he has football all figured out and tell us both teams have great offense/poor defence
@Soccerfaithful the too best soccer country in the history of the game, with the best players over the years were on display yesterday, a lot of people would rather watch Brazil and Argentina play instead of watching the Euros.... So your logics are empty words...
Yea its a friendly with 82, 000 fans in the stadium I wouldn't call that just a friendly, including two red cards, and the celebration on both teams when they scored were over the top, this is Argentina vs Brazil there is no friendlies between them people die for these countries just over a soccer game...
Clearly what portugal13 wants to say is not to take it so personal. I love football, and still, I wouldnt start a fight for it. But you kidulthood, seems like every comment you make is attacking people. Come on, this is a fan-page to have fun! Not to have arguments!
Argentina should have really slammed down Brazil. Seriously, Argentina's A team was against Brazil's olympic squad. Imagine what would have happened if Robinho, Kaka, Lucio, Tiago Silva, Dani Alves, and Macion, just to name a few, would have played?
Yea that Brazilian team got knock out of Copa America and the world cup, so what's your point? . Lucio is ageing, Robino and Kaka not the same players they once was...
Yet Argetina's A team got knock out of Copa America and the world cup also dumbass, whats YOUR point? Reddevil was making a valuable point, Argentina's A squad should HAVE beaten Brazil's olympic squad. By a lot too. Brazil's A squad would probably trample Argentina really, especially after this display. The last pasrt of your argument is so stupid, I'm not even going to try to counter it. Way to fail buddy
Argentina won the Olympics back to back! What's your point Marcelo and pato played in the last Olympics which they were beaten by Messi/Di Maria Argentina...
Brazil were awesome and argentina were awesome.... Messi is just an alien of football.... HE IS A legend who hasnt peaked yet in his football being so young and a match winner.... He has been a superstar in football from his teen yrs till now for barcelona and argentina.... ONLY GOD knows what he will be more capable of in the his peak years of football.... \when does messi ever have a bad string games of football.... When does messi ever have a bad game of football.... When his side is doing bad he is the one lifting the side when his side is doing well he is apart of it.... I used to think ronaldo would go ahead of him eventually but ronaldo as much as I think he is a superstar and a grest player.... He is under messi forever.... Ronaldo is the 2nd bwst player in the world by far to the rest of the world.... I enjoy watching ronaldo play and I enjoy watching messi play but if I had to choose a player i'd pick messi cause he is very very reliable footballer and can count on him everygame to be a match winner
Reliable like being able to make penalty kicks in champions league? Everyone makes mistakes, messi and ronaldo will make them. When they do people hate them for it, when they play good people like you kiss their ass
Elbalonball, stop saying messi and ronaldo, there is no messi and ronaldo there is messi the best in another level, and ronaldo very good but no where as near as messi's talent, messi is god gifted, ronaldo trains like mad to be at this level. Messi one of the greats (Zidane, pelee, maradona, messi), ronaldo is very good in his league of players
