Again ... and are already many. Again the same scenario, same shirt, same role. Messi and Argentina whole in a final. The opportunity to lift a major trophy. Pintiparada a chance to return to soar to Olympus football. The last hurdle to overcome to, for the first time, do something great with your selection. Unfortunately, and as has already happened in the past, all this again fizzle. Ninety minutes one step away from glory, they just trasladándote the purest and cruel hell.
Whenever Leo Messi is clear from the Barca shirt, a T-shirt that has experienced the greatest joys and which has been crowned as the best, for donning the albiceleste, things have changed. With Barca, most have been moments of happiness and ecstasy, He has won everything there and for, and he has entered the historical club legends of the sport. Instead, with Argentina, It is the opposite.
The country where he was born is still waiting to see him lift a title defending those colores.Parece that there is a jinx that accompanies Messi for his country wherever he goes. A jinx waiting to hurt where it hurts: at the last moment in which there is no room for reaction.
In each of the tournaments he has played Leo-level selections, He has been the center of attention. Something that is obvious when you argentino, You play football and take the number 10 in the back.

Many believe the lack of commitment. Oh my God! Is there something bigger in football to win an international tournament selections? You have to let go of that hypothesis. Surely he, More than anyone, Copa America reaches each and every World Cup with the only clear objective of providing the greatest joy to his fans. That loyal fans who support him, although many others try plunge.
Football is unfair on many occasions, but in others it can give you everything he has taken away. Illusion and not to lose faith. Messi has done a lot for this wonderful and fascinating sport, that he has fallen more than, ¡sí!, but still owes something. That Messi dejected, bleak, powerless, we have witnessed on more than one occasion with Argentina, You must give way to that other cheerful player, happy and able to make authentic diabluras a ball as we have seen in Spain and Europe. Recuerda, Leo, friend, football owes you an.
