Good decision. Unlike Mr Ronaldo who has been ineffective on the field for last two world cups but insists on being selected.

Messi has certainly earned it. Best to go out on top while you can.

I dislike that guy. He's been a cheater half his football years. Argentina this year was a thug team. Arrogant bastards.

Language or not,don't tell me you think Argentina's national team is a respectful and honest one,this world cup was a parody. And I used to like Argentina years ago!

In fact, Paredes was the chief architect of the parody.

Messi certainly wasn't an innocent party, but I feel some small token sympathy towards him because of his father's situation during the world cup and his subsequent death, which only came to light afterwards.
