[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1047362, member: 55747"] Thanks. Very happy. What was amazing was the celebration. It's hard to explain but it was as if not just the players but i'd venture to argue we Argentines in general were happier about Messi winning this than Argentina winning this. It's as if the footie gods were correcting an injustice of sorts. Since 2014 Argentina reached 4 finals with him (3 copa America, one world cup). We lost 3 but none of them in regular time which kinda suggests he was unlucky. In all of them we had the best chances during the 90 min too. Had Higuain or Palacios scored their relatively easy chances against Germany in 2014 WC the best-of-all-time would have been kinda settled for many. They would have ran out of excuses. What is also a bit weird is that despite our rivalry, Messi is incredibly appreciated by Brazilians and Neymar by Argentines. That kinda tones down the animosity, thou fortunately not too much.
