Messi played amazing. He does play the CAM for Argentina because Argentina has so many fantastic strikers.

As for those asking about why it's the Costa Rica U-23 team, it's because Costa Rica and Mexico were invited to participated in the Copa America even though they aren't in South America. It doesn't mean they can't try to win but traditionally invitees field weaker teams because they are there as an honor.

This Costa Rica side is U-23 not U-21, they also have 3 senior players. This is the same way olympic teams work. Joel Campbell up front looks a real prospect.
To be honest, Argentina were always going to dominate this team even on bad form so they're not there yet.

Messi's way of playing has barcelona all over it. very pleasing to watch

Aguero has the potential to become the next star of Argentina, specially by playing along Messi, he benefits a lot from the great assists. By the way, liverpool spent 35 million for Carrol.

Really? I didn't know that. Still, Argentina played cool. Especially, Messi!

Not hating on Argentina here at all but, ain't this the U21 Costa Rica team???

Now that's more like it.

y is everybody so exited dey just won against costarica under 21 so really...thix waz a practice game...notin really

Messi is finally awake

Eh...big deal, people being euphoric over a win against Costa Rica...Let's see them against Uruguay.

Messi's final ball is un-be-f*****g-lievable. What a player.

Finally Argentina..

Finally, Argentina's manager finally realizes where he should play Messi to get the most out of him, he had an amazing game

messi is playing great but i wish he would score more like he does for barca

Aguero's finishing is great... Higuain's was disappointing, he had a few chances you'd expect him to bury.
