Messi never does it for Argentina except when he scores one of the all-time great hat-tricks in a do or die World Cup qualifier after they've gone a goal down. Well worth a look on YouTube.
In a game they desperately needed to win, at altitude in Ecuador where they had something like one win in about the last billion years. The man is a footballing God.
To be fair, it was against a depleted Ecuador team with nothing to play for.
Good hat trick but don't let it paper over the fact that Messi has flopped big time in an Argentina jersey and his influence on managerial decisions is not conducive to a healthy team spirit.

I like the promotion/relegation format that we have. I would be willing to be a co-commissioner in a division if the stuff I linked to earlier works. If you could get 2 volunteers from each division to be co-commissioners it could lessen the load.
I wonder is it possible to be a commissioner in a division that you are not competing in so that there is no way you can make decisions in your own favour?

A selection of Messi moments of genius from the game and the systematic assaults to stop him.

I'd have Maradona ahead of Ronaldo but it's absurd to suggest the Portuguese Ronaldo is anywhere near their level.
Nobody has came close to leaving an imprint on a major international tournament like Ronaldo did in France 98 and Japan/Korea 02 (to a lesser extent) since.
That's the pinnacle for me. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have struggled to impact major international tournaments like greats such as Maradona, Baggio and Ronaldo have

Has anyone been to the Nou Camp for one of the top European games or for a Athletico/Madrid game?
The atmosphere last night seemed to be unreal akin to one of those crazy S Amercan club teams
Quote from: magpie seanie on December 15, 2016, 11:44:48 AMWhat's that.. About 21 inches of rushing..
1.03 points. Over a 14 game season. That's pretty crap.
Correction - looks like 0.03 point? Was there a stat correction? Is AZ praying for another one?

Yeah, Minder, Robinson was a huge letdown. So glad that I picked David Johnson instead of Todd Gurley. DeAndre Hopkins was another first round damp squib.

A brilliant tournament side particularly on European soil.By far the best performance so far.I would actually fear for Ireland against them and a fired up Belgium out to make amends.Cant see Ireland getting a point from either of these games.

He didn't do much for Bayern considering how easy it is to win the Bundesliga
Simeone's team are far more negative than Mourinho's but how can you blame him given the players he has, he plays a way that gets the best out of his players and gives his team the best chance of success. He's done some job at Atletico, his team in 2014 was taken apart and to get back to the final with a vastly different squad is a phenomenal achievement.
As for Pep not getting that Bayern team to a CL final is a failure given the circumstances, he inherited the European Champions and has added Alonso, Vidal, Goetze, Thaigo, Lewandowski, Costa, Coman to a team that already had 6 or 7 world class players. Bayern were hammered in 2014 & 2015 and they might have been a bit unlucky last night but everytime Atletico put 2 passes together they were nearly in on goal. City will be his biggest test as he's not inheriting anything like the squad he's had at Barca & Bayern.
Whatever about not improving Bayern, Germany give him a lot of credit for the improvement in the national team.
Still that will be no consolation to him
I'm not sure, Atletico were always going to score a goal so Bayern always needed 3 as far as I'm concerned and Bayern had a bit of luck with the deflected free kick. He joined Bayern in 2013 and Germany won the world cup a year later, I really don't know how much of an affect Pep had on their national team.
Agree with this. Germany overhauled their playing style at national level long before Pep came along. That great U21 side which included 4-5 starters in the WC final all were technically very astute.
