THANK YOU, PLAYERS, FOR THIS.

TWICE.

TWICE.

I GREW UP WITH MY NATIONAL TEAM BEING SHIT, WE NEVER QUALIFIED FOR ANYTHING. WE WERE THERE TO PLAY AND GET ELIMINATED BEFORE THE GROUP STAGE EVEN ENDED.

NOT NOW. NOT ANYMORE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.

I SAW MY NATIONAL TEAM BEING CROWNED CHAMPIONS TWICE. SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. BUT IT HAPPENED.

THANK YOU.

Congrats! I know the U.S. isn't likely to achieve this level so I can appreciate your achievement. Beating Argentina in back-to-back finals is huge. Enjoy.

lol. if you can't produce at one of biggest stages of the game then you are not on the same level as maradona. He won the world cup for them. Argentina won how many times? 2? And one of them came from Maradona. Where is Messi? He can't even produce for his country where it counts the most IMO.

I'm still astonished at Higuain missing a point blank shot 3 finals in a row. It's just unbelievable.

Anyway, congrats ChileGAF, I'm off to bed now, dreaming of finally winning something at some point in the future, maybe hopefully I wish.

Congrats! You guys were fun to watch. I'll never forget going to the Chile Panama game and hearing the fans finish singing the national anthem after it cut out.

This argie generation of players are not going to win anything. They are a bunch losers. When Higuain missed that one on one I knew they were going to lose.

Need to start a generational change and start bringing young players like Dybala and Correa, and stop bringing players like Higuain and Banega to these tournaments.

I really feel like shit for Messi, seriously. He will receive such amount of flak (a lot of it truly undeserved).

Also, poor Mascherano and Romero, I really like both guys. They are classy.

Yeah right Diego only player well for 4 weeks during his life. LOL.

And Diego alone made Napoli into something singlehandedly. Messi has always played along other goat level players in Barcelona.

Lol. Let's see Messi win la liga with Getafe. You crearly don't know what are you talking about.

I'm sorry. Has Getafe ever won the Copa Del Rey? Because Napoli was two time winners of Coppa Italia before Maradona got there and have done so twice since. They're not Serie A minnows.

Messi would win La Liga with this year's Sevilla squad. No question.

If Martino isn't gone by the time of the Olympics i'll be amazed.

Higuain can score but he always ALWAYS chokes at the worst times. He's the sole reason why Argentina didn't win the world cup and this Copa.

Dybala is 22 and aside from veterancy he's better than Higuain in virtually every way.

But he wasn't even called up because.....Reasons.

And he did it with a team that would be comparable to a mid table Spanish club now days, not a star studded squad.

Messi can't produce on the big stages.
