Visibly saddened after losing to Chile on penalties at the Copa America Final, Lionel Messi announcea hours later that he'll be retiring from international football.
Considered to be the best footballer in the world, Lionel mentioned four major competition finals he has played for Argentina, all of which he lost.
Messi's teammates also reacted to the news that the team's best player would step aside. Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero said that he thinks Messi may have been too hasty in announcing he would quit the team.
Other players, most notably Italy stalwart Andrea Pirlo and Portugual's Luis Figo, have announced their retirement from international football before reversing their decisions, so maybe Lionel Messi will do the same.
Even though Lionel Messi retires from the international scene, he will continue to play his club football for Spanish champions F.C. Barcelona.
