Messi is good but LOL at Argentina as world number 1

[Cristobal]

Landon Donovan says we have "started to get into a dangerous area," by which I assume he means "on the pitch with Argentina."

There is a reason that like 10% of the crowd is there just to see Messi play

That might be low. Maybe over 25%

The captain says "we have started to get into some wet spots."

[piranesi]

Landon Donovan just said of the USA performing well overall in the tournament "they can hang their heads high."

look out, Michael Cole!

There's really no clear number one at all right now but someone has to be there.

[odessasteps]

Its not Belgium or France or Germany. Might as well be Argentina. 

[sabremike]

The Colombian fans are doing the "puto" chant. Ugh! I hope Chile puts 7 past them.

Seeing a bunch of "Why did we play Wondo" posts around in my FB feed/elsewhere.

 

There was no combination of 11 American players, including the three out on cards, that were going to make that game remotely competitive. 4th place is as good as could possibly be hoped for, never mind expected.. Everything else is playing with house money.

Tim Howard starting tonight to reward him "for his fantastic support of Brad Guzan"

Sure...

While that was more than likely true, why not use the last two matches to get Pulisic and Nagbe more national team experience instead of throwing the likes of Wondo and Beckerman out there to state at Messi as he gleefully skips right past them for another goal?

Also, it's probably past time to put Bradley out to pasture, as well. Dude's been a turnover machine since Brazil two years ago.

[piranesi]

This game is balls out nutso.

[odessasteps]

@jhickman A 9v9 second half with 12 goals. Game abandoned when Messi gets his seventh goal and ascends to godhood.

If this ref sends someone off during extra time, he's gonna have to go into witness protection, right?

Apparently, Messi is retiring from international competition.

If you happen to be the Argentinian Skip Bayless, today might be your Christmas. 

[ReiseReise]

Additionally to Messi I heard Mascherano and Agüero are retiring from international matches. And there are talks about Higuain, Lavezzi and even di Maria. That's quite a lot of quality players.

Can't blame him... he looked like he'd seen a ghost after he blew the PK. Dude was shook.

[Guest Edwin]

I don't know why Tata Martino choose Higuaín over Dybala... Heck I don't know how Dyabala didn't make his squad at all. I know he's lined up for the Olympics, but still, he should've been on the Copa América squad over the Olympics squad.
