I remember when they said Messi was only good because of Xavi and Iniesta. Xavi left and Messi continued. Iniesta became less important in the team then he left. Messi continued. The other one was Messi relies on Dani Alves, he leaves, Messi continues. Same for Neymar as well.
You're also picking one game to highlight Messi with Argentina. A 3-1 game that meant nothing really.
You should look up the stats of Argentina with and without Messi. Frightening. The only reason they reached the World Cup is because he dragged them there. The main reason they've reached 4 finals is because he dragged them there.
It's a pity in 2010 he had to deal with Maradona as a manager. Screwball.
I can't see it - Messi & Ronaldo have just taken all the records and completely obliterated them.
BTW watch that footage. Look at the absolute state of the standard...it's like watching a pub team. That was the pinnacle of football 60 years ago but the level of ability is dreadful.
