No Messi In Team

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 He can win a game on his own,
Give him the ball and he can do it all alone,
Because he’s Lionel Messi,
He can win a cup single-handedly,
Or can he?

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Argentina, nothing but a one-man team,
But haven’t they always been?
Maradonna has left a curse,
All his successors have faired worse,

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Batistuta, Crespo and Messi,
All great on their own, but there’s no ‘I’ in team,
Another year, another final defeat,
Don’t cry for me Argentina, but there were tears.

Notes

Argentina lost 4-1 on penalties to Chile in the Copa America final, which means they have now come runners-up in two tournaments in the last two years, having lost to Germany in the 2014 World Cup final.
