Sorry, you can’t pass on the Argentina-Messi crap. Even if you want to brush it aside, you need to at least spell out the excuses like the posters in the comments section have. If we’re trying to make distinctions between two players who are this close together then the fact that Portugal have won a Euro cup and Argentina haven’t won shit is relevant.

Nevermind that if we’re going to dismiss a teams losses then why would we talk about their teams wins? Either these two have an outsized impact on the results or they don’t.
