Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 2620093, member: 439"] He shouldn’t have walked off. He’s better than that. I thought I remember hearing that Messi retired from international play after the last World Cup...as in he wasn’t going to play for Argentina anymore. They made him the scapegoat of the 2014 loss for one missed penalty kick. I can only imagine the pressure he plays under with his national team. He has zero support on the field so it has to be completely frustrating. They expect him to bail the team out. He’s the reason they’re in Russia in the first place. He doesn’t look to be having any fun playing, like he doesn’t want to be there with these guys, or this coach. [/QUOTE]
