Lionel MESSI took to Instagram to post a picture and a comment about the AFA.

The team is still in Texas and has not yet left for New Jersey for the Copa America final. The flight was apparently delayed and MESSI posted the following on Instagram:

The message at the bottom reads:
“Once again waiting on the plane to get to our destination. My God, what a mess the AFA is.”

The AFA sent out a statement indirectly responding to MESSI, pointing the blame to bad weather and to the organizers of the Copa.

The larger picture of MESSI’s comments are more than just about the flight but about the AFA. Anyone who knows anything about the Argentinian FA know that they are absolutely corrupt.

Hey everyone,

Wow what a game last night! It’s nice to see us perform like that, isn’t it? We definitely deserve to be in this final again that’s for sure. Anyhow, the news is that DI MARIA has practiced normally with the rest of the team this morning without any issues. He actually scored a few golazos! He is doing a lot better than GAITAN who may or may not be ready as he is still being evaluated. AUGUSTO FERNANDEZ is out and will not return and it doesn’t look like PASTORE is available either. The word is that MARCOS ROJO will recover and will be available for the final as well. We all know what happened to poor LAVEZZI. He was having a great game too! It’s pretty much now just up to Tata.

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!

Ezequiel LAVEZZI and Augusto FERNANDEZ are both out for the Copa America final on Sunday.

Ezequiel LAVEZZI suffered a shoulder injury during the semi-final match after flipping over the advertisement boards and is required to have surgery.

Initial test results are stating that Augusto FERNANDEZ seems to have a muscle tear. He said after the match that he is out for the final.

Marcos ROJO is questionable for the final as reports have him with an overburdened left thigh muscle.

Angel DI MARIA who made the bench for the semi-finals should be fit to play the final on Sunday. Tata MARTINO has stated that physically, DI MARIA is doing better than Nicolas GAITAN.

Lionel MESSI commented on the win, becoming the National Team’s all time leading goalscorer and the final on Sunday.

Here’s what he had to say:

Lionel MESSI:
“Everyone’s dream is that it happens and we win the trophy for once and for all. We deserve it for what we’ve done.”

“I’m happy for having surpassed BATISTUTA’s record and I’d like to thank my team mates as this one is theirs too.”

“The free kick, I put it there. After that, whether it goes in or not is another story.”

“It’s a pity about LAVEZZI’s injury, Augusto FERNANDEZ’s as well but the team is very strong.”

“We played a perfect match against the United States and we have to try and repeat that on Sunday.”
