#4 This mass trashing must stop

It’s very strange but when Argentina lose a final, or any game as a matter of fact, only Lionel Messi is blamed. No one is mocking Tata Martino as English fans are doing to their manager Roy Hodgson. No one says the Albicleste didn’t deserve to win.
Ex-players, superstars, media and fans have all gone wild in search of their moment of glory. Unfair question marks over loyalty to nation, preserving energies for club, playing for money and all sorts of ridiculous rants have come up. Some of those comments are extremely hurting, even to fans.
I wonder how thick skinned a player has to be to tolerate all this. Imagine Diego Maradona questioning his leadership skills! Or a television channel panel checking on his commitment to the nation. Messi’s announcement will hopefully have stunned those armchair experts and it will spare future generation players from such rants.
