when the winning results was mandatory but Argentina failed and they're playing less of goals even in my country there is a news that Messi is the main cause why Argentina cannot win however maybe it's time to Argentina not too rely on Messi if Argentina failed goes to world cup i think that would be the biggest failed in the history
it is a really disappointing result for the Argentine fans. day by day thier qualification for the world cup is getting difficult. if Chili won the then it will be more trouble for them. I think Argentina needs a great leader in this situation.
Messi is a great player but he is not a good leader as well as a good influencing person among the team. so in spite of a good side, they are able to win against in this situation.
Man, it's impossible to catch a break if you're considered a cult hero even if you never asked for it. There is no main cause in football results, if you are looking for someone to blame. Not the manager, not the referee, certainly not one player. It's a collective failure that has to be borne by all the players. Or it could be a mix of luck. I've played football myself and on a lucky day my miserably talentless team can beat a really good team on luck. And on some days, no matter how much you run, how painful your lungs are, how hard you fly into tackles, you just can't beat the goalpost.
That said, yes, there is too much of a reliance on Messi. See how Uruguay don't rely on Suarez nor Brazil on Neymar. For that matter, how Portugal don't rely on Ronaldo. Give Messi a break, too. Who said he had to be a great leader on the pitch? Who made him captain? Too much pressure, too much to ask even of a football demi-god.
