It was a sad day.
The sight of seeing Lionel Messi cry after referee blew the whistle was unbearable, especially as a mother. I think it really crushed his fans’ hearts to see him cry on the pitch. The planet really moved and cried with him that night.
Since the World Cup got underway, he did not turn in one bad performance. Anybody watching the matches could clearly see the passion and determinatioin on his face whenever he received the ball. Messi showed what a fine player he is, but for an individual to shine more than that has to go hand in hand with collective success. He was one of the players of the tournament though he remained a little hidden by the situation of his team.
Argentina failed at this World Cup. Messi DID NOT. Whatever this World Cup ends up being remembered for, Messi's status as the best player on the planet has not been challenged.
Diego Maradona returned to Argentina with his head down. Not Messi. Defenitely not Lionel Messi.
