Even if half of Argentina's team retires, they still could win the World Cup in Russia.
ON second thought maybe this is all a ploy, to fix the AFA? The players have taken it upon themselves to fix the organization. If it's true, it's incredibly ballsy on their part. Risking the careers and such.
By the end of this maybe, Sabella comes back in some capacity and Simeone could hear the calls to save his NT? It would set up an amazing redemption story come 2018. **** it I'm back in.
Argentina also is facing a FIFA ban due to their corrupt FA.
A childish overreaction following a disappointment. Messi showing why perhaps he is not a great champion after all.
Right yeah, it's childish overreaction. This clearly proves he's a loser...it's not like everything else is going to **** around him.
What about Masch must be a loser too.. Iniesta too?
You're on a roll today.
Both Mascherano and Iniesta are 32. Not 29. If Messi had retired following Russia 18 most people would probably see it as pretty understandable.
Zlatan played for Sweden til age 34 in spite of the team around him being crap and having next to no chance at achieving much.
Let's not kid ourselves here, this is because Messi can't get over the fact he's not a saint to Argentina fans back home, that they will always prefer Maradona in the end. It's petulance.
