"It's a very hard moment for me to think about what happened," Messi said.
"In the locker room after the game I thought the national team is over for me, this is not for me..."
"It's what I feel now, a great sadness has occurred again," he added. "It fell to me to miss the penalty, it was very important.
"It is for the good of everyone, we can't conform with reaching the final and not winning it."
Just like that he retired. Too much pressure was put on him but you can't tell me he or Argentina could not win 1 of the last 3 finals. He has good players around him but this guy has no luck. You know how many players would wish to be in his shoes. Some don't even ever make it to a tournaments let alone a 3 finals.
