The Football Overtime Podcast

“Once is starts, it doesn’t stop” It took 16 years, a retirement, a loss in the World Cup final and three runner-up medals in Copa America for the little magician, Leo Messi, to end his trophy drought with the national team. And he managed to do it by pulling Argentina through to lift the Copa America last year. Since then the winning streak runs on and Messi’s trophy cabinet continues to fill. Last night Argentina deservedly won the Finalissima against a battered looking Italy who almost seemed to be justifying why they hadn’t been able to book their spot for Qatar. And what better for Argentina than having an ecstatic Messi spearhead your attack against them. The stars are looking good for Messi but we only wonder what they have lined up for Argentina and him at his last world cup later this year. Enjoyed the podcast?
