Dutch would want to watch Netherlands play not Messi.

So who's going to be watching Messi? Canada? Gambia?
Very few big countries won't have a team in the World Cup...
You barely notice Messi/Ronaldo at World Cups anyway. Argentina got the easiest group/draw last time to make it anywhere.

Most people in Argentina don't even like Messi, they like Maradonna.
Majority of soccer fans are sick of Ronaldo/Messi.
They are great for 14 year old "fans".

Why wouldn't they? If I was watching Italy in their prime and it was announced Pirlo wouldn't be playing in the world cup in his prime, or no Henry for France, or no Ronaldo for Brazil, I would be devasted as a fan. Originally Posted by packerd_00

We want to watch pure talent and force on the field and that is what Ronaldo and Messi provide as well as several others like Neymar, Bale, Grieztman, etc, etc.
Cavs played Warriors in finals in 2015. Irving to injured game 1. Out for series. Love -- out for the series. Did I still watch? Yeah. Cause I'm a basketball nut. Was I upset and less tuned in than usual because two of the best players at their positions in the world weren't in the game? Yeah bro. The talent level on the court wasn't like "WOW" and I was at the edge of my seat.
If you don't think people in Italy give a rats ass if Messi plays in the world cup, you're mistaken. Because in Italy, which I've been to before several times, Messi is considered the best and most entertaining player in the world. Soccers fans don't just want to watch soccer. They want to watch great soccer and great and legendary and transcendent and explosive players.

3. Messi and Ronaldo are great for 14 year olds? Ronaldo is at the back end of his career dude. He's been a pro for 15 years. Longer than your 14 year olds have been alive.
4. Barely notice Ronaldo and Messi? They are literally the face of an entire country. Who is the face of England? Who is the face of Germany? Who is the face of Italy? They don't have players on that level.
5. It's pretty clear from your comments you live in a box and don't know shit.

I can guarantee,if Italy doesn't get in,most hardcore Italian fans aren't going to be tripping over themselves to watch Argentina instead.You think if youre a fan it only means youre watching for Club Soccer,sometimes its a lot more simple,and its just because you want to see youre Country do well,thats all their is to it.
I know you got youre way tonight so relax.Last edited by packerd_00; 10-10-17 at 11:46 PM.
