Lionel Messi fans what him back in Argentina national shirt.



   
     Lionel Messi, the best soccer player on the planet, has lost another global title last. This was the fourth out of four. Messi has reported he is resigning from the Albiceleste, as Argentina's national soccer group is known. This must not happen.

          I came to be an Argentina soccer fan through odd circumstances. I'm not of Argentine plunge, nor was anyone I knew growing up. Be that as it may, in 1990 when I was 16, I traveled to Mexico with my family. Fortunately for me, my folks were pursuing my seven-year-old sibling as I appreciated the remiss drinking age underneath the fringe. The World Cup was going on, and in the nearby bars of Cozumel (and still, at the end of the day I shunned traveler traps) these recreations were everything.

          As it turned out, Maradona's group was the safeguarding champion. Similar to the case today, Argentina was viewed as a powerhouse in universal soccer. Be that as it may, it's a weird thing. Argentina has the most minimal populace of any nation whose group has won the container in the cutting edge time, and they won it twice. They truly should not be contending with much bigger nations like Brazil and Germany. Be that as it may, they do as a result of players like Maradona.

           After his retirement, the Albiceleste experienced a dry spell—there has been no trophy since. Yet, when I was in Argentina in 2003 for a theater gathering, I heard mumbles. Prattle around a child who was bound to change the amusement. They were discussing Messi. Depend on it, in the meantime Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano were incredible players, giving Argentina an awesome chance in universal rivalry. Be that as it may, then Messi happened. Furthermore, happened. Also, happened.

           I'm not going to connection to a video of Messi's most prominent minutes, in light of the fact that each soccer fan has seen them and other people can find them. Yet, suffice to say this little man has done things with a soccer ball on his foot that would make Pele become flushed. Truth be told, and it may not be decent to say as much, but rather Messi is a tremendously preferred soccer player over either Pele or Maradona. How would we know this? Since neither Pele nor Maradona had achievement where it matters most: in the expert European groups.

            Messi has won the Ballons de'Or (brilliant boot, or MVP of soccer) five times, a larger number of times than whatever other player. His expert group, FC Barcelona, has won the Spanish alliance eight times and the European expert title four times. These outcomes are Jordanesque, and propose a comparable predominance of his game.

           However, something happens when Messi wears his national hues. That strength flashes in early diversions, however every time so far has slowed down. In those four recreations, the finals of significant worldwide rivalries, Argentina misses the mark. Unfailingly, Argentina loses, and the best player on the planet, possibly the best player ever, is left to grieve. Be that as it may, it isn't his flaw. It has never been his flaw.

            I'm fortunate. I didn't endure the indignities of the genuine Argentina fan, the fan in Buenos Aires whose whole day after Messi's most recent misfortune was loaded with the sturm und drang of horrendous thrashing. Here in Brooklyn, it was said in the games upgrade amid my drive to work, yet just as a bit of hindsight. I can overlook it. Messi can't.

             See, I don't point the finger at him for needing to be finished with it. He is being requested that accomplish something that no one else is requested that do. The main other player remotely close to his level on the planet is Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, the prettiest of pretty young men. Be that as it may, what has Portugal won? Precisely nothing. In the interim, England is losing to Iceland. Things could be more regrettable.

        Messi has been thumped. Finals of real global soccer titles have turned out to be fantastically exhausting in light of the fact that they quite often end with extra shots, that saddest of approaches to decide a victor. Should Messi have opened his extra shot? Beyond any doubt. In any case, it's a free-toss. It's not LeBron James making an outlandish square as time diminishes. This is the reason Americans look somewhat askance at soccer.

        Be that as it may, Messi can never be LeBron. He can never be Jordan. He doesn't play in a five-on-five amusement where one man can essentially assume control (in spite of the fact that he has done this 11-on-11 now and again). It's not even the NFL, where a quarterback can hold that sort of force. Messi is, has been, and should be a jewel encrusted pinion in a wheel of ball development. He is just a section, a minute in the passing trade. Those minutes live with nervy speed and control, they spellbind us, yet most don't prompt objectives. That is not soccer.

          I envisioned having a child would be a steady games watching background, ensuring he could promptly bond with men in any bar in the nation on account of a good games IQ. My child's not a games nut as such, but rather when I demonstrate him video of Messi, he illuminates. It is enchantment. Enchantment implies that, despite everything—the horrendous results, the national disgrace—one day Messi can raise the World Cup.

          Is it an excessive amount to inquire? Obviously. Messi resemble the person who wins the Nobel Prize and has the grandma who says, "It takes you this long to win it?" We require Leo. I require Leo. My child needs Leo. Returned, Messi.


          It might never happen. You may excite us through capabilities and lose in finals. In any case, it's alright. We need to watch, we need you to excite us. In the event that the weight is too overwhelming, offer it. You are not Argentina, regardless of the fact that Argentina supposes you are. If you don't mind return, Leo. What's more, realize that regardless, we cherish you.

Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo winners -Euro 2016.

Portugal, 1-0 winners after extra time against hosts France in the UEFA EURO 2016 final, are the tenth country to have captured the Henri Delaunay Cup.

Portugal are the tenth different nation to win the UEFA European Championship, joining six other countries in having lifted the Henri Delaunay Cup once.

Portugal – who had lost the 2004 final to Greece on home soil – beat hosts France 1-0 in Saint-Denis on Sunday for their first ever major tournament triumph, Éder scoring in the second period of extra time. Greece, Denmark, the Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, Italy and the Soviet Union also have one EURO title to their name.


Portugal celebrates the first-ever major title on a night of high drama on the outskirts of Paris. The tension reached culmination pitch early on, starting with Ronaldo’s injury, and continued through a lively, albeit fruitless, second half and beyond. Eder’s unlikely heroics finally ended the deadlock in extra time, and France lacked the energy, guile and quality to solve the puzzle that was Portugal’s determined defense.                                                                     
The Euro 2016 final came down to France and Portugal, and Portugal walked away with one epic win, even after Cristiano Ronaldo was forced to sit out of most of the game. After the game ended, fans went nuts over the winning team of Euro 2016. See their excited tweets now!
Beyond Ronaldo’s up and down form, there were positive signs for the Iberians. Pepe’s near-flawless performance Thursday night will encourage manager Fernando Santos that Portugal can repel the likes of a Belgium — assuming they get past a Welsh side that can seemingly do no wrong at the moment. And Nani and Sanches are in good enough form to salvage a result against lesser opponents.

What’s clear, however, is that this Portuguese side isn’t good enough to win a final without Ronaldo showing up like he has at certain moments throughout this tournament.His detractors will say he’s lost confidence. Those who have watched him know he’s suffered a bit of misfortune.

His international reputation won’t be scarred by Thursday night’s performance.And like always, Ronaldo’s always looking ahead to the next time he can be front and centre.

Gareth Bale was full of praise for Cristiano Ronaldo.

  The striker opened the scoring for his nation as they advanced into the final, and his club team-mate could not help but praise his performance after the match
Gareth Bale hailed Real Madrid colleague Cristiano Ronaldo as a "natural goalscorer" after he netted in Portugal's 2-0 Euro 2016 semi-final win overWales.
The showdown between the two Madrid heavyweights dominated the pre-match headlines and it was Ronaldo who shone brightest.
His powerful 50th-minute header saw him equal Michel Platini's record of nine European Championship goals, with Ronaldo then turning provider – albeit perhaps inadvertently – for Nani's goal three minutes later.
And Bale told ITV of his club-mate: "Obviously he's a natural goalscorer and he scored yet again.
"But as I said it's not about them, it's about us. We'll pick ourselves up. We're a proud bunch. We have to be proud of what we've achieved in this tournament.

"We want to thank all the fans obviously – the support we have had is absolutely incredible."
Wales were at least the equal of their opponents in a tight first half and Bale reflected on what he felt were fine margins that decided the outcome.
"They got their first goal and were lucky on the second," he added. "We tried our hardest to get back into the game and fought until the last second.
"We gave everything. We have no regrets."
Fernando Santos' side will meet hosts France or world champions Germany in the final.

How may I assist you( VIDEO).

'One of the best moments in the Football game.Watch Zlatan Ibrahimovic move.





           Joe thinks that Pep Guardiola is such a meticulous student of the game that he probably reviews footage of old football matches in a bid to discover some new tactical innovation.
        We wonder what he would make of Jack Charlton's 'Put 'Em Under Pressure' style of football though? The smart money is on a mild heart attack followed by a refusal to accept what he is seeing.
The Bayern Munich manager is definitely a fan of short intricate passing and this footage of the German champions playing 'piggy in the middle' is absolutely stunning.

       Ok the two men in the middle don't put in any Keane-esque challenges for the ball but the execution of some of these passes is incredible considering they're all done at pace.

          CSKA Moscow might be chasing shadows in their match tonight if Bayern can replicate this on the pitch.

Cristiano Ronaldo squares off against Gareth Bale in Portugal v Wales (VIDEO).


       
The world's two most expensive players, who line up alongside each other at Real Madrid, will go head to head when Bale's Wales meet Ronaldo's Portugal in their Euro 2016 semi-final in Lyon on Thursday morning (AEST).

          In playing terms, both are the leaders of their teams, but they take very different approaches to their role.
While Bale is widely acclaimed as an inspiration for his national team, Ronaldo's influence on Portugal is the subject of debate.
          "Cristiano has worked for the squad and it's only the squad which matters here," said midfielder Andre Gomes.
"Maybe people were expecting more goals, [but] he has made a huge contribution to the national team and it's not the moment to start questioning a player."

           Coach Fernando Santos added Ronaldo has sacrificed himself for the team.
Even so, the 31-year-old three-times world player of the year has often struggled with an image problem, especially when he said two years ago that Portugal needed "two or three Cristiano Ronaldos".
He insists on taking every free kick within – and often beyond – shooting distance, prompting suggestions he is selfish, and is regularly captured on television cameras remonstrating angrily with his teammates.
         Earlier in the tournament Ronaldo threw a reporter's microphone into a lake when he was asked a question during a team walk, and was criticised for disparaging remarks he made about Iceland after Portugal drew 1-1 with the rank outsiders in their opening match.
Bale, in comparison, looks relaxed and is not afraid to stir up some controversy, such as when he said no England players would get into the Wales side, adding the Welsh were more passionate than their larger neighbours.

       Television images tend to show him encouraging his teammates rather than gesticulating angrily and complaining.
"They are obviously different types of people and different characters," said Wales manager Chris Coleman. "Whatever Bale brings to the table for us, that's him. He's not manufactured. He doesn't try to be something he's not.
        "Gareth is clearly a special player. For us he is special, not just because of his talent but what he represents when he plays for Wales.
"He appreciates what he has around him and they appreciate they have a super talent. It's a good blend."

        Cristiano Ronaldo is immaculately groomed, makes a point of posing for the cameras when he scores, is often captured scowling at his colleagues and recently launched his own men's fragrance called Legacy.


       Gareth Bale is constantly encouraging his teammates and is described by his manager as "the most down-to-earth boy you could meet".


Portugal vs Wales & Ronaldo vs Bale.


Wales and Portugal are set to contest the first Euro 2016 semi-final at Stade de Lyon in France on Wednesday evening.
All eyes will be on Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo as the Real Madrid superstars go head-to-head, and with a spot in the final at stake, it has all the ingredients for a blockbuster clash.
Chris Coleman's side, who have reached the semi-final of a major tournament for the first time in their history, come up against a Portugal team yet to win in normal time this summer.

Ahead of the big match in Lyon, Sportsmail takes a glance at where it could be won or lost.
When Portugal and Wales collide in the semi-finals of the European Championship on Wednesday night, the tie will pitch two of the biggest stars in world football against one another.
But not only are they among the biggest names on the globe, both Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo have spent the past three years slugging it out to be the big dog at Real Madrid.

And a man who has managed the pair of them together admits that they are so competitive that they always wanted to beat each other in training.

Island's football team supported by 10.000 fans.VIDEO

       
 They are the North Atlantic minnows from the land of ice and fire who have thawed the hearts of football fans across the continent.
Plucky Iceland have simply no fear as they face off against England tonight in the most important match in their history.
And the team from the smallest country to ever make it to the Euros have every right to hold their heads high.

  Because Iceland didn’t just scramble into Euro 2016. They stormed the finals in France and immediately set about stunning one of the tournament’s heavyweights by getting their way out of their group.

Now they stand on the brink of immortality in their native land if they can pull of a shock victory against Roy Hodgson's England.

‘In 1946 Iceland played against Ilford. Now it’s England in the Euros … Afram Island!’


 When Halldor Einarsson’s sports kit company started selling shirts to Iceland fans for Euro 2016, they added a felt-tip pen to the deal. The three Group B fixtures were printed on the right sleeve, with a box to fill in the scores.
“I thought we would maybe get one draw from those three games, and I wasn’t arrogant enough to leave space for a fourth match,” said Einarsson, one of the best-known figures in Icelandic football, who once arranged a summer visit by Manchester United and persuaded George Best to play against them.

     His predictions were wrong and his company, Henson, has had to go into overtime to try to cope with demand. Iceland won one, drew two and they next play the biggest match in the nation’s sporting history, a knockout tie against England in Nice tomorrow.
“We’re making more shirts, these ones with the England game on them,” said Einarsson, who was twice a national champion in his playing days with Valur, one of Reykjavik’s top clubs..
   
   “If we win, we can find room for the next one, the quarter-final. No matter how far the team progresses, we will find room to put the matches on there. It’s hard to cope with demand, but it’s great fun.”
Henson and fellow members of the older generation in Icelandic football can barely believe what is happening, but already they are talking about beating England.
.
“This is our dream come true, but for so long it was just a dream,” said Sigmundur Steinarsson, who has written a two-part history of football in Iceland, and has reported on the game since 1970. “We didn’t play a game on grass until 1957. Before that, we played on lava – crushed gravel. We were a very bad team for many years.”


The first “international” contests were in 1939, when the Islington Corinthians, a now defunct amateur team from north London, defeated Iceland’s finest 1-0 and 3-2 in Reykjavik. The visitors were presented with a gift: copies of Iceland: Nature and Nation in Photographs.

True Leader.C'mon!



While historically being one of Europe's smaller football nations, Iceland have enjoyed more success in the 21st century. In thequalifying rounds for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Iceland reached the play-offs before losing to Croatia. Iceland reached its first major tournament, UEFA Euro 2016, after a qualification campaign which included home and away wins over the Netherlands. In doing this they became the smallest ever nation to qualify for a major tournament. After advancing to the knockout stages of Euro 2016, Iceland defeated England in the round of 16, advancing to the quarter finals.

In a friendly against Estonia on 24 April 1996 in Tallinn, Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen entered as a substitute for his father Arnór. This marked the first time that a father and son played in the same international match.
Iceland fans went wild as their national squad crushed England 2–1 to secure a shocking Euro 2016 triumph in the round of 16, one that finished with England chief Roy Hodgson tendering his abdication. 

Iceland had never fit the bill for a noteworthy competition before the European Championship, and it is the littlest nation in the competition. That didn't prevent the island country from toppling England, with Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson scoring after Wayne Rooney opened the scoring in the fourth moment from the punishment spot. 


Look as Iceland's fans, a number of whom pressed a town square in Reykjavik, go insane amid and after the notable win.

Island football stars say 'WE'RE NEVER GOING HOME!'

                       As the final whistle blew in Nice, Benediktsson exploded into a barely intelligible rant, proudly telling the Three Lions their time was up.
He cried: “This is done! This is done! We are never going home!
“Did you see that! Did you see that! Never wake me from this amazing dream!”
Gudmunder benediktsson may not be a household name – but his glorious commentary of the Iceland team’s remarkable run in Euro 2016 has fast become a global hit.
Iceland fans celebrate their remarkable victory in NiceThe high-pitched shrieks of the excitable commentator were back in full swing last night as England were dumped out of the tournament by the smallest nation in the competition.



     Their plane flew low over the capital Reykjavik before landing at Keflavik airport where the local fire services gave them a fire hose guard of honour with shooting water creating a rainbow.
   Striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, who scored a consolation goal in thecrushing 5-2 defeat to the hosts at the Stade de France on Sunday said he was happy to be home.

"It was a dream come true to get that support," he said of the estimated 30,000 fans -- some ten percent of the population -- who followed the nation in France.
"We experienced something simply wonderful, it was a dream come true and we are proud to have brought such cheer to our country," he said, adding that the friendly behaviour of the fans had done the country proud.
The players were then paraded through the streets of the capital on a double decker bus in the direction of Arnarholl Park, to celebrate with their fans and sing the famous "huh" - the Viking war chant - which is actually Scottish, punctuated by hand clapping.

"Fairy tales still exist! It's rare - if indeed this has ever happened - to unite us Icelanders as you did on the football pitch," Prime Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson told the team in downtown Reykjavik, to the resounding cheers of tens of thousands of supporters.
"You are a national treasure!" he added as fans waved flags and team jerseys, and children held aloft cards with their favourite players.

To the delight of the crowd, the heroes of the day sang the "huh" watched emotionally by Swedish coach Lars Lagerback who hailed a "team performance" and confided he felt "at home" whenever he was in Iceland.
Many present had also followed the team to France. "They react with pride even after defeat. They did not give up, they did not stop, they return as heroes," said August Ingi Kristjansson, a 23-year-old who was present in Stade de France on Sunday.

"I'm just so proud!" added Sverrir Gardarsson. "What will happen next? We will rule the world!"
Iceland drew with Hungary and Portugal, then beat Austria to book a last-16 place, where they then defeated England 2-1 to set up a quarter-final with France.


         Iceland's footballers received a heroes welcome on returning home on Monday following their astonishing run to the Euro 2016 quarter-finals in France.

France-Ireland -Irish pub in Nice ready for EURO 2016!

     On a Wednesday night in Paris in November, 2009, Thierry Henry deliberately handled the ball twice while passing it to William Gallas, who scored against the Republic of Ireland.



        The Republic’s players went ballistic, as well they should. They had seen the handball. The referee didn’t. Their pleading got them nowhere. The goal counted. It was a playoff match to decide whether France or Ireland would go to South Africa to play in the 2010 World Cup. France qualified and that was that.

       Except it wasn’t. Thierry Henry quickly admitted to illegal play, but said it was the referee’s job to administer the game, not his. For a couple of days, it was the biggest story in the world. A terrible injustice had been done. The Irish soccer authority pleaded with FIFA to rethink the situation, suggesting the match be replayed or Ireland offered a place at the World Cup.

       FIFA president Sepp Blatter, already in South Africa to talk up the tournament, revealed to an audience what the Irish had requested. He sneered. And he laughed. He literally guffawed at the nerve of the Irish.

        A few days later, he apologized, sort-of, for his rudeness. Shortly after that, FIFA quietly wrote a cheque to the Irish soccer organization for €5-million. Hush money. This was only revealed in the investigations last year that illuminated the crazy money going into and out of the governing body of international soccer.

      Where’s Sepp Blatter now? Disgraced, removed from his job at FIFA and bleating about his innocence. Maybe he’s banging fists on the pile of money he accumulated in his FIFA career. But who’s sneering now?

      For the first time since that infamous night in Paris, Ireland will face France. Sunday afternoon in Lyons, the two countries play in the second, knockout round of Euro 2016. The shadow of the notorious handball incident hangs over the game, making it a delicious revenge match. That’s what the commentators will say on TV. There are pundits in newspapers who will say that too. There are Irish fans who will feel that way. There are French fans who worry the Irish will feel that way. A great grudge is held and the Irish want revenge.

     Seven years is a long, long time in soccer. Professional players are trained, not only to kick the ball and play as a unit, but to forget the past. What happened before is gone, yesterday’s news. It’s the next encounter that matters. Prepare for that, forget the past.

    In an Irish context, that is codswallop. Long memories, have the Irish. What happened three hundred years ago is a fresh wound, an outrage that calls for retribution. The Irish hold grievances, with a livid indignation longer that Canada has been a country. One hundred and fifty years is yesterday. Seven years is five minutes ago.
     Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill has been circumspect about the revenge-plot subtext of Sunday’s game. “I think we have decided to forget about it. I think that it will be a talking point but I don’t think it will concern us when we play the game,” O’Neill said on Thursday at the Ireland training camp.

    Well, he would say that. O’Neill is hardly going to reveal in advance that, in the dressing room, he will quietly tell his players that this is the chance to revenge a great injustice – knock France out of the tournament they’re hosting. Make them ashamed, make them feel the sting of defeat, because they deserve it. No manager is going to reveal in advance his motivational talk.

    Besides, many of his ragtag group of players – professionals, but nowhere near the level of France’s superstars in talent and fame – were not playing for Ireland on that night of notoriety in 2009. They were simply fans, watching as part of an outraged nation. In 2009, Robbie Brady, who scored the goal that defeated Italy, was 17 years old and had just joined Manchester United’s youth academy. 
      A kid. In 2009, Seamus Coleman, who was captain of Ireland in the victory against Italy, was a bewildered 21-year-old who had landed in Liverpool to play for Everton, having spent his early career playing as a semi-professional for Sligo Rovers in Ireland. These men have long memories. They are Irish to the core. Professional short-term memory, be damned. There’s a revenge to be exacted.
      Interestingly, Thierry Henry declined to speak about the handball incident as soon as Ireland was scheduled to play France. Not a word could be extracted from him on the topic. When told of this, O’Neill couldn’t resist the wry reply, “Well, there’s a surprise!”

    As for the Irish and French media’s buildup to the game, the handball incident isn’t something they’ve decided to ignore. The populist newspaper 20 Minutes, declared: “Les Irlandais disent avoir oublié la main de Thierry Henry - mais ils n’en pensent pas un mot.” Which translates as, “The Irish say they’ve forgotten the hand of Thierry Henry – but they’ve not forgotten a word.” You can bet your blarney on it, boys and girls.

     Of course, Ireland goes into the match as underdogs. The best you can get is 9/1 odds betting on them. They have had less rest time than France. The victory over Italy took a lot out of these honest, but in many cases ordinary, players. The climax of the Italy match is unlikely to be reached again. A once-in-a-generation thing.

    But, you know, France is vulnerable. Dimitri Payet has saved games but he’s just one player. The great midfielder Paul Pogba seemed to engage and disengage in the three games to date. The defence isn’t solid – certainly less solid than Italy’s – and vulnerable in set-piece situations.




And karma counts. France went to South Africa and imploded, exiting early, after bad results and embarrassing infighting. Karma could count again. At least, that’s what The Republic of Ireland is hoping.
Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland fans will receive an award from the mayor of Paris for their "exemplary sportsmanship" during Euro 2016.
The medal, known as the Grand Vermeil, is regarded as Paris' most prestigious honour and has been awarded to a variety of cultural and political figures.
Both teams reached the knockout stages but exited Euro 2016 last weekend.
"They participated in the festive atmosphere that has been prevailing in Paris these last two weeks," said Jean-François Martins, deputy mayor for sport and tourism.
"They are a model for all the supporters of the world.
"As shown in the numerous videos that circulate on the social networks, the Parisians particularly appreciated meeting them, speaking with them and sharing those joyful moments that are essential in such a great sportive event."

Hungary, Belgium and Portugal federations charged Euro 2016:



The football associations of Hungary, Belgium and Portugal are the latest to be charged by Uefa over the behaviour of their supporters at Euro 2016.
The Hungarian federation is charged with crowd disturbances, the setting off of fireworks and the throwing of objects during their draw with Iceland.
The Belgian association is charged with the setting off of fireworks and the throwing of objects during their win over Republic of Ireland, while Portugal are charged with a field invasion during the draw with Austria.
The Hungarian case will be heard on 21 June while a date is yet to be set for the other two hearings.

On Monday, Croatia will find out whether they will be punished after crowd trouble marred the closing stages of 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in Saint-Etienne on 17 June.
Referee Mark Clattenburg had to briefly halt the game when fireworks were thrown on the pitch, one of which exploded near a steward who was trying to remove it.
Earlier in the tournament, the Russian Football Union was fined 150,000 Euros (£119,000) and given a suspended disqualification after supporters caused trouble inside the stadium during their draw with England in Marseille.

Uefa threatened to disqualify England and Russia if there is any repeat of the violence that occurred in the centre of Marseille prior to kick-off.

Football stars are also addicted to the smart phones.



Another Copa America is ended on which is arranging for the purpose of century year celebration in United States. As this is the 100 year completion of CA, it’s called Copa America Centenario 2016.                North, South & Central American leading 16 soccer nation will participate into this biggest tournament. World most famous team like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico & USA will  join in event. Team Argentina playing good football from a few years but can’t able to win any title for them. 
This Centennial Copa America would be a great chance to Lionel Messi & his team to win a trophy for them. Gerardo Martino the head coach of Argentine team isn’t making any change frequently into squad and working to make a balanced team for them. 
Players short list of Argentina for FIFA world cup 2014, Copa America 2015 Chile, friendly international & World cup qualifier matches is very same. Though current Argentine players playing extremely well in renowned clubs but still their have few lacking when their footballers playing together for national team.
