Tokenism.

Look it up in a dictionary.

Another big tournament passes him by.

Nailed on to bang in a hat trick against some La Liga dross in the first game of next season though.

I’d like to see astute tweeter @MisterTotti make this observation to FotF “Miguel” Delaney and see what happens.

I’ve waited 3 World Cups for this day, fuck off Messi, we Argentinians never wanted you.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · June 30, 2018, 5:25pm

A coward

How many minutes of World Cup knockout football did he play without scoring? George Best has as good a record as him without ever playing in a World Cup.

GeoffreyBoycott · June 30, 2018, 5:45pm

Messi is a the only player to score in a World Cup finals as a teenager, in his 20’s, and in his 30’s.

Cicero_Dandi · June 30, 2018, 5:47pm

Where’s his World Cup medal?

anon7035031 · June 30, 2018, 5:47pm

I’m sure that will help him sleep tonight.

anon7035031 · June 30, 2018, 5:48pm

On the mantelpiece next to Boycott’s AI hurling medal.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · June 30, 2018, 5:50pm

He shat himself once again mate

Cicero_Dandi · June 30, 2018, 5:50pm

Messi scores against the giants of World football like Nigeria, Bosnia, Serbia and Iran.

anon26343222 · June 30, 2018, 5:58pm

He has a silver world cup medal

Cicero_Dandi · June 30, 2018, 5:59pm

Is that the one for losers?

GeoffreyBoycott · June 30, 2018, 6:28pm

It can happen in a team game. Sir Stanley Matthews, Ferenc Puskas, Alfredo di Stefano, George Best, Johan Cruyff, Zico, Glenn Hoddle, Paolo Maldini and Lionel Messi don’t have a World Cup winners medal.

Stephane Guivarc’h, Kleberson, Francesco Totti and Andre Schurrle do.

Cicero_Dandi · June 30, 2018, 6:29pm

Messi doesn’t have one.

Totti does.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · June 30, 2018, 6:29pm

Stanley Matthews was shit mate

GeoffreyBoycott · June 30, 2018, 6:31pm

That’s a surprise. Never had you down as a septuagenarian or an octogenarian.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · June 30, 2018, 6:34pm

Odd response

I wasn’t alive when the dinosaurs were here either but I know the t-rex was dangerous

anon26343222 · June 30, 2018, 6:38pm

How is Ronaldo getting on there lad?
