5 years later and Messi has lifted the world cup. He has lived up to the expectation of Argentina and his fans around the world . Even though am not Argentina am proud of his achievements. Vamos Argentina
5 years later. Leo has lifted the Copa America, Finallisima, and World Cup. After all those years of being criticised and put down for not winning an international title, the greatest footballer ever has completed the set on both club and intl level. Vamos Leo, you deserve this!
It’s July 2021. Messi has won the Copa America in Brazil, at the Maracaña. He finally did it. At age 34 he broke the curse and lead Argentina to a trophy in 28 years. Man, I’ve waited so lang to write this. This video back in the days, gave me goosebumps, it still does. Leo went trough hell and back. But he never gave up on his dream. He fought, and he won. 🐐
I mean they were almost making copa america twice a year so that Messi can win something for his country and not leave a satin in his career. They literally forced him to win something, if he didn’t I’m sure they would be playing another copa right now. Messi is nothing without the media.
5 years later Messi shoulders a whole nation and is a world champion now. He’s reached the highest of echelons a player can. Now he sits alone and dines as a king. He cemented his status as the greatest to ever touch a ball and turned Argentina upside down. They love him now. He’s their captain. What a story.
I was thinking about this watching the final. What a player. Now he can rest easy as he has done what Maradona completed. I know it wouldn’t happen but would love to see this done again now seeing their perspective 🐐
what about copa,finalissima,36 games unbeaten,highest goalscorer for argentina in wc and national team finally WC after losing to Saudi wow.That is even crazier and historic than hollywood blockbuster movie.Even zidane didn't have that not even god diegio had that.
man this shit is like a Netflix series. Whoever edits the fucking Video is Diego Maradona of editing himself ... legit serious credit Copa, man this is top quality
All people saying Argentinians don't appreciate Messi and he should leave are such hypocrites and don't even get your facts straight. We are more than aware of everything Messi has done for us and he is a true idol in our country, we owe it all to him. There's only a tiny minority that continues to question him, like the ones in this video, and unfortunately that's the only thing you see in the media. I suggest you look up the "Messi Don't Go" campaign that was going on here when he wanted to quit the national team. But try to put yourselves in our shoes tho: wouldn't you feel sad for him? Wouldn't you feel frustrated over the fact that your team has the best player in the world and for some reason or other he just couldn't win one title, when he clearly deserved to win many of the tournaments he's played? We don't even want to win because of Argentina, we just want the WC for Messi. And of course we don't deserve him, but he's Argentinian and loves his country and that's a fact. We're so grateful for him and beyond proud that he represents us.
I’m a Chinese woman, your writing drove me in tears. I became a big fan of Argentina national team when I was 14 years old because of Maradona who won the world cup in 1986. I feel I am so privileged seeing Messi have been representing my favorite team Argentina, whether he would win or not in Russia, he always is the treasure of football fans around the world!
Jianhui Zhou Those are such nice words! 😊 I would have loved to see the World Cup 86 in the flesh, and you're right! We are witnessing the very best of football, with Messi, Ronaldo, and so many others, we should enjoy every moment of it! ⚽💙
I feel like I need to point this out: Not every Argentinian thinks this way. Some are - maybe not flattered - but somewhat proud to admit that, if it weren't for the little guy, we would have never seen these past 2 Copa America Finals and, most importantly, the last World Cup Finals. He has carried the team before, and he will do it again.
The Raposotroll if you think most Argentinians think Messi is better than Maradona than that's extremely ignorant of u. Maradona is their hero and the greatest footballer to ever live
Are they serious? "Haven't delivered for Argentina." He's the reason you qualified for the World Cup next year. Not to mention he carried you to three finals in three seasons.
what i'm saying is I keep hearing messi carried the team through qualifying even though they could not pick up maximum points in some games when he was healthy
It’s Dec 2022. Messi has won the copa America and the finalissima, and just passed to the semi finals of the 2022 WC. Emi martinez and everyone else in the team are ready to die for him. I always return to this video coz it makes me tear up coz of the pure passion of argentines. I wish my country plays the World Cup one day but until then, Football owes Messi a World Cup 😭🔥❤️ Vamosss argentina ✨🇦🇷 Edit: OMG the little genius won it 🥹❤️ football paid it’s debt 😭 vamosssss
what about copa,finalissima,36 games unbeaten,highest goalscorer for argentina in wc and national team finally WC after losing to Saudi wow.That is even crazier and historic than hollywood blockbuster movie.Even zidane didn't have that not even god diegio had that.
Used to get hurt when watching this video because of the Messi criticism but now he has won the world cup, finalissima and the Copa America something even maradona did not win ...what can they use against him now?nothing . GOAT. I am happy.
Dont be an idiot. Messi scored 0 goals and 0 assists in the semi final, quarter final and finals combined. It was Higuain who scored the winner vs Belgium in the quarter final.
I have seen both Maradona and Pele play. Pele: 500 of his goals are faked The other 500 are in friendlies in an uncompetitive league Maradona: he was good for one month in the World Cup, and two years in Italy, nothing more
Allan V they didn't won the individual's stats and awards. Messi made it top for over an decade no one is like him a ball struck to his feet is like scientists said it's an impossible shit Messi is doing .
I have been waiting to comment on this video! I want to see ELI go back to Argentina and re-interview everyone from this video after winning the world cup!
Mik Banerjee If he wins WC, He will be above Maradona or Best Player in Argentina maybe But No way He's better than Pele. That's my honest opinion as A Barca fan
I'm sure tears will drop from my eyes when Messi wins the World Cup. I don't care if my nation wins it at all. I don;t even want us to. I want Messi to win it.
Don't generalize a whole country based on a group of idiots. Won't disagree that our country is filled with those who love to bad-mouth Leo, but those people are not the entirety of our population mate. Believe it or not, the vast majority of people here want Leo to be triumphant when it comes to any tournament, not because of the representation that it gives to the Country, but because we want him to be happy, sure we have ungrateful fanatics, what team doesn't when it comes to this sport? But what 5 or 6 arrogant Journalists or 7/10 folks say are *NOT what a whole country thinks like* nor do they speak for everyone.
"There is a difference between talent and greatness. What messi does, might be no one else has been able to do, but greatness is when you can get others around you who can't, to do the same, or to lift them with you." He did. He didn't show up for the game against brazil, but he raised them. He made them step up.
fuck it, they don't deserve Messi. if he had played for Spain he would have atleast had 2 world cups. he should have played for them but he choose to play for his nation. legend
Stupid argument, why do you think Messi was born in Argentina and not in Spain, or Germany, or France or in Djibouti? It wasn't sheer luck. Messi, Maradona, Batistuta, Riquelme, Aimar, Kempes, Di Stefano, etc. all a product of the Argentinean fotoball culture. There would be no Messi without Argentina, just as there would be no Ronaldinhon Neymar or Pele without Brazil.
So you're saying Messi should've played for Spain to win the WC? What does that say about a 5x Ballon d'Or winner? Maradona's Argentina was far below Messi's Argentina yet he still delivered.
brokenHelghan he is definetly not just a product of Argentinean football culture... he moved to Barcelona when he was 13. I would say he more of a product of Barcelona and la Masia culture.
ULchiZ yet he grew up admiring Aimar above anyone else, developed at his younger years in Newell's academy and grew up playing football everyday in his city. That wouldn't have happened had he been born in Barcelona. And he only moved after it was clear he would be something special, they helped him grow in La Masia but they didn't make him. Otherwise tell me why Argentina has produced so many great similar talent whereas Spain hasn't (to the same level of greatness at least). Don't you see the pattern? There is no other player that's as similar in playstyle to Maradona as Messi. Both are Argentines. Do you think that's a coincidence?
Noe Garcia El Chapo No it's not. Maradona only had Valdano who was a good striker but the rest were below average. Prior to 86 no one believed Argentina would make it to the semis. They over achieved because of Maradona's influence.
Messi has nothing to prove...Dybala, Higuain, DiMaria, and Aguero all need to step their game up if Argentina are going to bring home the trophy. Messi shouldn't be expected to do it by himself.
You sure? Cuz higuain was the one who qualified argentina for the world cup of 2014... after that yes! Messi saved Argentina... so what 5,6 years? But before that...
@@todorvranchev2091 Messi doesn't live in his shadow homie; nobody does. What did you do today? What's your legacy; worry about that--don't worry about Messi and his accomplishments; worry about yours.
He is the greatest of our generation for sure, but I hope there will always be great players to admire and enjoy watching our beautiful game. Messi has never had a great team of players around him, most of the world feels he has always been playing alone while playing for Argentina and still gets Argentina to be one of the top teams in the world. Had Messi not played for Argentina in the last 10 years we’d be making “Where are they now videos” about Argentina
I really enjoyed how Eli mentioned what Peru's side is going through, and how much they also want to reach the world cup and what it means to them. There are always 2 sides to a football match. COPA90 you guys are amazing.
but he didn’t say shit about ecuador my country, we where also dying to go to the world cup. And we lost it, at home 😞 nobody cares about the small ones
It's 2 days before the 2022 World Cup final. I hope he wins this, not just for Argentina, but for the modern football world. But even if he doesn't win, I hope he knows that he's the GOAT of football.
you dont have the point,argentina tactic is this,give the ball to messi and wait he makes something to win the matc and well you dont win world cup with that tactic,its impossible,its logic,if you are playing doubles in tennis,you cant wait your teamate does everything,you need also to help
+FFL Productions Stronger squad, yes but not a better squad. The current Argentina team is full of ego maniacs who cant put their country over their individual glory! Besides, in the 2010 World Cup Spain were going through their golden generation period which is arguably one of the greatest national teams of all time. Same with Germany in 2014! There's no fucking way Maradona would've single handedly beaten either of those two teams!
Dexter Morgan any player playing now would have had their legs broken playing 20-30 years ago. Also the pitches were worse making it harder for Messi to dribble and there are so many other variables.
How can they think Maradona is better than Messi. Messi has carried them to 4 finals, is there all time top scorer, all time top assister and has just simply been magic. Also at the World Cup, they have both been MVP once so its not that Messi has not individually delivered at the World Cup
Lord Olivier Some if these Argentines are very ungreatful and ignorant. I don’t even have to watch Pele Or Maradona to know they aren’t as good as Messi
Big J1 /Dark Ghost only ignorant here is you, you really feel proud saying that shit, if you don't watch them play how tf can you say for a certainty they're below Messi?
It's not all about numbers in football u should know that. I personally have not seen Diego play live but I've been told the feeling when number 10 stepped on the field was really something else. Messi is great but will never be Diego.
I am now waiting for the video returning to Argentina with Messi holding the World Cup and the trophy Maradona never brought back to Argentina, the Copa America.
TheOneAndThePoop yes it is and even more amazing if Chile also did but thats only Dreams for me now but i hope for Qatar 2022 😊 and for Messi i hope he win this one cuz i always respect him,
Hi, I'm argentinean, and want to thank you for such an amazing video. The editing was superb and I feel Seth Rogen captured most of our passion and our way of thinking except for one thing: Messi doesn't owe us anything, and the great majority of this country feels it that way. Now, who's bigger? I believe they are equals on terms of quality, but Maradona had something special that you can't describe... He was a larger than life figure, that would somehow inspire a city like Napoles, or a nation like Argentina, to believe in the impossible, to believe that it doesn't matter how poor you were when you were born, or whatever circumstances you had growing up, you can always dream, and dream big. I'm not saying Messi doesn't make you believe in that, but is just a matter of charisma and leadership, that's what makes it different. I still love both obviously, and I would LOVE for Messi to win the World Cup, but if he doesn't it's not on him, he's done more than enough.
Maradona = Finesse and Charisma Messi = Technical and Quiet This is why Maradona was a better leader than Messi. Although in terms of better player that’s debatable. Messi needed the leader aspect of his game to bring Argentina to victory like Maradona could.
So true. Maradona means just something else to Argentinians I think. Messi can win a WC,hell any other player can win any amount Of WCs but there's just something about Maradona that will never be toppled. Football isn't just records & silverware
These Argentines are absolutely delusional. Messi doesn't ow you Jack shit he could have won the world cup with Spain if he wanted to, but no his biggest mistake was playing for the country he loves giving it a 110% because no one seems to do jack shit but him! But who's fault is it? Messi's right!?! MESSI doesn't ow Argentina a world cup, Football ows messi a world cup.
we don't hate messi, but if you compare it to diego, then messi is nothing. if he need recognition from Argentinian ppl, if he want to be our legend or hero, then he need to win something for us not for barca, is up to him tho.
My fans Argentina from country Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇦🇷🇮🇩...vamous Argentina 🙏🙏🙏campaeon la Copa America 2021. King Leo MESSI team CONGRUCALATIAN Trophy Copa America 15 👍
