Country: Iceland
Messi dragged a horrendously set up Argentinian side to a WC final and lost against one of the best national team of the last decade. He won player of the tournament.
What could he do against that? Germany were literally better at every position except CF. Yet he almost did it. They lost by one goal in extra time, it's not like he completely bottled it.
Portugal didn't even get out of the group stages, ended up behind the United States
That's why you can't use international football for anything. It's the football version of All-Star games, it's not what pays the bills for anyone except FIFA/UEFA.
For Messi we make excuses.
For Ronaldo he just win that thing. Dominating Europe tournos everywhere, with Portugal, with Madrid.

Messi can't even look grown up with a beard.
