If Lionel Messi is truly serious about ending his international career with Argentina, then he netted his last Albiceleste goal vs. the United States.
A distraught Messi told reporters that he's quitting the national team after Sunday's gut-wrenching loss to Chile in the Copa America Centenario final, insisting that "it’s not for me" amid his "great sadness" at falling short of a major international trophy for a third consecutive summer.
Many have rightly questioned whether the superstar will reconsider his decision once the emotions of the night have receded. But if he does indeed follow through on his stated intentions, his last goal in his country's colors took place in Argentina's thumping 4-0 defeat of the US national team in the Copa America semifinal, a wickedly-struck free kick that beat Brad Guzan from range at NRG Stadium in Houston and made Messi Argentina's all-time leading scorer.
