Did you watch the match dumbshit? Messi and Di Maria ran Argentina. Just cus someone doesn't score doesn't mean they don't contribute. Not to mention this stadium is hard to to play in for anyone not used to it due to it's immense height. A draw was enough. Dumbasses like you should be shot out into space.

These haters don't even know what they're talking about. Let me enlighten you. Argentina played away in La Paz, Bolivia, a place which is one of the most difficult grounds in South America. Why you ask? Well it just so happens that this La Paz is OVER 3,600 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. That would be approximately 12,000 feet. Even guys with 4 lungs like Ramires would get tired quickly here. In fact, last time we played here we lost 6-1 to Bolivia so our manager Sabella decided to use a more defensive formation (5-3-2) to save energy. Messi created chances but we weren't lucky and a draw here is a great result and we have 1st place anyway.

Objective of Messi haters after Argentina game: 1) Check highlights (don't watch). 2) Is Messi on the scoresheet? If yes: Somehow ignore and remove from memory. If no: Write "messi suks wwithout cavi and iniesta derp -insert irrelevant smiley face because of butthurt-", without having ever watched the match. Disgrace to football the lot of you.

No shit 12,000 feet? :/ Shut the fuck up the truth. I love messi, but that is some bullshit excuse. There are 3 conditions: Home, Away and Neutral. There is no such thing as a Super Saiyan Away ground. Regardless of the team thats going to Bolivia's stadium, geographically stfu, the beautiful game makes it fair. Away means you dont feel at home and you aint got ur crowd backing you. Not some high altitude bullshit, ur not wrong, it may apply. But if football (soccer) still plays here then this stadium is deemed suitable to host matches. This is like when Messi didn't perform against Madrid, people were saying he was ill. Ronaldo scored twice against barcelona with 2 injuries. So please... :/ I really like messi but if he underperforms (which he hasnt here) just say so. Dont storytell.

Although I am not in the slightest concerned about my repute in FootyRoom, I can still tell one or more bellends will give me thumbs down and I cant help but feel that those will simply be ignorant punks. :) This is because they perceive me to be making anti-messi comments. Not true, Just don't like certain excuses. If Portugal were to draw/lose to Bolivia TheTruth would have been like: YEAH F RONALDO YEAH LALALALALA! Not a word about this Sea level B.S. :)

Actually, FIFA tried to ban this stadium once from official matches, but after heavy lobbying from Bolivians they backed off. So no, it's not really "deemed suitable", but given that Bolivia isn't really a big deal, and no super important match with a foreign team will ever happen in La Paz, it's left alone. Tell me why Di Maria, one of the most athletic players in the game, needed an oxygen mask in the middle of the game?

Altitude difference is one of the most adverse condition for visitors. forget the sh*t you're talking about, dude. May be you've never been away from your hometown...or never climbed small hill leave alone mountains..... so your empty store up. JoeMomma yo have point.

torres tornado 14 years ago

yeah!! if you're Ronaldo's little sh*t, you can't see the beauty of football...... by the way, real football is not just a kick and rush like your ronaldo; it's having full control on it like King Messi.

Man all the haters on here are retarded. If any of you would watch a match that Messi plays in you would see that he contributes every game. This game he created chances and I would say that he was in the running for man of the match with Di Maria. You haters need to understand that he is changing the game of futbol. if you cant acknowledge that then get the hell out cause you are stupid!

Dimaiz 14 years ago

STFU you retard and stop spewing all the FUD and bullshit. Messi had a bad game, man of the match with Di Maria? Just what are you smoking, you idiot? Goal+com gave the chimp 2.5/5; while Mascherano was the man of the match with 4.5/5 stars.Dumb lying fanboys.

Dimaiz 14 years ago

Not to mention, got dumped out 0-3 in the Copa America 2009 final against Brazil. Messi always needs Xavi and Iniesta. I'd love to see the human growth augmented chimp play in the EPL or somewhere else outside of Barcelona. You'll see his true colors.

Your retarded, its people like you that dont know futbol who just come here and type some crap and then leave.

Olympic under-23 squad and a couple of goals in FRIENDLY matches for Argentina? Is that all you got to back your chimp monkey's performance for the senior Argentine squad? LMAO. Pathetic idiots. Messi's been playing for the senior Argentina squad since 2006, crashed out of 2 World Cups, 3 Copa Americas, and hasn't won a shit. That's the truth of it. He sucks without Barcelona's players. It's a team game.Now dance, monkeys.

Dimaiz 14 years ago

Lmao. Bolivia ranked 163rd in the world, and currently in the bottom of qualifying.. No excuses. Messi is nothing without Barcelona/Spain playersProof? Argentina lost 4-0 to Germany in the 2010 World Cup. Crashed out of Copa America 2011, and Messi hasn't won a single title with the senior Argentine squad. U MAD fanboys?

Flako 14 years ago

any team would of tie or lost when you play in La paz Bolivia because is over 3600 meters above sea level with makes it more difficult to breathe because the higher you go there is less oxygen dumbshit

Hasn\'t won a single title with senior squad? Hasn\'t played in a senior title competition since 2011. Derp. You keep bringing up the past with World Cup and Copa America, and you purposely ignore the fact that Messi has kept Argentina at the top of WC Qualifiers. Like it or not, his performance with Argentina since the beginning of 2012 has been phenomenal. He carries the team. But you won\'t acknowledge that. You just ignore current facts and bring up old ones. Pitiful. I wonder what excuse you\'ll come up with when he shines in 2014 WC, lmao.

Dimaiz 14 years ago

@JoeMommaShut up, you retard. The chimp has been playing for the senior squad since 2006; 2 World Cup failures, and 3 Copa America crashes. That's all he's got. Now dance like a fool.Messi = shit without Xavi & Iniesta

Amazing game by Argentina, Dimaria I dont have words to explain. His best game ever. And Messi showed y he is the best whenever he has the ball. The highlights has nothing in it I watched the whole game. Messi connection to the goal scored by Banega was crucial it says that Messi does not have to score to pose a threat. Sabella has improved the Argentina team. I ve seen players using Oxygen mask between short breaks. Fifa should stop organising football in La Paz. Di Maria showed he has extra lungs. Messi was on his knees most of the time but still ran through the defense when he had the ball. Amazing. Any team in the world would be happy to not come out of La Paz without losing (Spain, Germany, etc). Vamos Albiceleste.

you people are so boring. When messi played good with argentina you said "he is the best in the world", "he played good even without xavi and iniesta", etcand when messi didn´t score in one match all of you said the opposite!This is a kindergarden...
