They now face Croatia in the semi final, the big question is - can Lionel Messi finally win football's biggest competition?
Joe Devine, JJ Bull, Seb Stafford-Bloor and special guest Carl Anka take a look at what makes Messi so special.

Messi does not need to win to be the best ever, he needs to win because he IS the best ever.
Absolutely faxx
So true. The argument tht if he doesnt win a world cup it decreases his GOAT status is absolute bonkers. I mean, its a team game. What can you do if your CB concedes penalties or fouls outside the box
Yes agreed. Regardless of who plays longer in their career or scores the most goals, Messi has kept his composure during his career, unlike Ronny who held Man Utd and Portugal to ransom, to such an extent they both severed ties with him.
Well said
@@whodouthinkuareThis is so tiresome. Messi played at Barca and than at PSG. Two of the lesser leagues in Europe. When he had a chance to prove himself in the PL, he declined.
Everything said about Messi's game can never be said about Ronaldo but we're meant to believe they're on the same level
the video wasn't even about ronaldo, why is he living rent free in your head
There should always be competitor in sport , money , marketing , narrative and overall atmosphere demands it . We all know ronaldo is not even close to messi in terms of sheer ability , this Wc is perfect demonstration of it but he is only one who could take up role of competitor and challenger which , by the way , he fulfilled well but in the end there is nothing hidden that wont come into light and this debate is getting ridiculously one sided day by day, if messi wins it he will dethrone maradona Let alone ronaldo who never was on par with him.
@@zulalulua9645 wdym we all know, if you said messi is better I'd agree but you said it's not even close, which is so false, ronaldo is 2 years older than messi so obviously he would slow down before messi, let's see how messi fares when he's 37
I think its because of the trophies and achievements
@@franalytics5995aging works in favor of messi, because messi has far wider range of skillsets then ronaldo , he can still influence games even without speed and physicality he once had thanks to his superior vision and passing ability + far far far superior ball retention compared to ronaldo ,yesterdays match was perfect illustration of it. Ronaldo was always very linear and one sided inhis game compared to messi . he depends on fast acceleration and physicality to get into space and utilise chance team creates for him. messi at age of 36 has 4 goals and 2 assists(should have more assists if lautaro could actually score open goal chances ) in wc , is undisputed superstar in his team which ,thanks to him, is now in semi final. idk, what more 36 year old lionel messi should do ... i understand its leo messi and we always expect more and more from him,but cmon, give guy a break..
Bastian Schweinsteiger said on the german broadcast that even when overlooking the pitch from the commentators booth he didn't see that pass. I believe in the slow mo replay he said that even now he is struggling to see that pass. He was baffled.
Schweinsteiger wasn't a bad passer himself lol.
Er ist ein Ehrenmann
I really like Di Maria off the bench instead of starting, because he provides a fresh air of creativity and spark of energy that Argentina need at the end of games.
Yea but the Coach waited too long last game.
@@essentialvibesev6293 Exactly. If he was subbed on earlier, they could've won without going to penalties.
It’s really hard to explain Messi’s ability to make space, and use space without just watching him. At 35 he is better than everyone on a pitch at all times, I don’t know how to describe it. He has lessen the pace and speed he once had from the last 12 years, he lost the ability to ‘Ankara Messi’ the whole team back in 2021. But he can still feint fast players and defenders to create that space. Like seriously you cannot put stats on what he does, you can’t put stats on him being able to hear his teammate or see his teammate in had a millisecond to then pass the ball through a defenders leg. Idk, you seriously just have to watch a full game of Messi, you can’t describe to a person unless they’ve watched him from an unbiased perspective. Or you could make someone who has never watched football watch some regular games maybe even Liverpool vs. Man city and then have them watch a game with Messi, and you can just see the difference in talent. It’s crazy
I love what you said!
Who’s here after Argentina won the world cup
You guys need your own televised show! The insights are GREAT!
Messi doesn't owe anyone a world cup, football owes Messi a world cup.
No. Croatia will batter him.

Skill for function,not style
Great way of putting it
IF DI MARIA COMES BACK THEN WE TAKE IT ALL BOYS
Let them do the thing the are underdogs the clearly not favorites let them work the way to the top everyone says france is favorite i want to see Argentina proof the world wrong as underdogs
Didn't know Josh from Drake and josh became a football journalist
We are Begging Almighty Lord to help Messi and Argentina to win a WORLD Cup this year Amen
@ 0:17 what is this guy on about? Make what tournaments look better
#Messi🐐🪄👽💯🤴
Yeah, yeah, everyone felt Brazil was going to win it, and England fans always have a feeling about it this time around and so on and so on.... give me a break. The team is strong, for sure, but scarier opponents arguably exist (i.e. France)
Messi had some uncharacteristic shortcomings in the groups, however now he's been on form AND EVEN THEN THEY COULDN'T BEAT THE F-ING DUTCH!???!
wake up
Substitution ruined it
To be fair they had the better chances and should have won well before penalties. Netherlands got very lucky.
Dutch needed a friendly referee and a 200 IQ play to tie it up at the very last minute. Argentina was clearly the better team yesterday
@@agustinpereira3128 oh yeah, cause not giving our favourite Argie his second yellow when the lad decided to control the ball with his hand is equal to being friendly to the Dutch.
@@invisigaming357 The ref was just terrible all around. Just accept the reality. Both Argentina and the Netherlands have had valid complaints and stop propping some biased narrative.
Yes
I really think mbappe is going back to back. He’s gonna have the most successful career of all modern forwards when it is said and done
No. They are playing Croatia.
What ?
Mbappe will honor his idol and put an end to this mummers farce December 18th.
Penaldo fan
Cry?
Cry?
No this Argentina team near choked against Netherlands and messi can’t carry them all the way it’s just not gonna happen
no they still have the chance. messi is carrying them so hard and also his teammates are ready to die for him
@@factos1463 I wanted Argentina to win it all but it’s probably not gonna happen
@@factos1463 Argentina is not as good as Croatia. Messi would not even get into Croatia's first 11.

@@aamir2527 Truth hurts?
I reeaallyyy hope not
France about to repeat 🏆🏆
Simply put, no.
Penaldo
@@rickykhokhar2671 Most of messi's goals in this world cup are penalties

Messi aint even the greatest Argentine to play much the Greatest ever ...pelè on the top always ...
To think Pele is legitimately a better player than Messi I'd absolutely ludicrous
Messi surpassed both a while back
@@madaxwayne based on what ...balondior ...a magazine awards nonsense ...
@@saddammall3337 it's nonsense because the person you think is the best doest have it 🤷
He's the better player with or without a world cup
Those with unbiased eyes can see this
People denying themselves the enjoyment of watching the greatest play will soon regret it when he's gone
Certainly a more complete player than both
@@madaxwayne yeah right dont see player cry over that though...
Messi greatest ever ever in this universe,messi ,maradona,pele,nazario ronaldo,cruff,ronaldinho,zindane tht greatest list
It's either Mbappe's or his Idol RONALDO'S
PESSI WILL GET KO TUESDAY
Well not Ronaldo now lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well Penaldo is most certainly not winning it🤣
Lol portugal is out
Penaldo
Guys please don't jinx it 🥲
