?　　Buying lottery tickets is a humble and stubborn endeavor, a stubborn hope for life.

　　It’s not worthy to be sad if you didn’t win the lottery, but it’s very sad that you are only one number behind the prize.

　　 What if only one number is missing three times in a row? This is probably not sadness, but a tragedy of life.

　　 It is difficult to say whether Messi is a tragedy, because he led Argentina to the finals of the competition for three consecutive years, but three times passed the championship.

　　 In the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil, Argentina was beaten by Goetze in extra time. Messi became the background of the revival of German football that year. In the 2015 America's Cup, Argentina was defeated by a penalty kick by the host Chile in the final. During the entire match, May boss only scored a penalty in the first game of the group stage, which was so boring.

　　 This year is the 100th anniversary of the America's Cup. Messi dragged his Argentina to meet again with Chile and the final.

　　Different years, different locations, different records, the same finals, the same opponents, and the same results.

　　As the enemy of his life, Ronaldo burst into tears after being kissed by a butterfly, and Messi suffocated back to the dressing room before starting to cry. Ronaldo climbed to a height that his predecessors had not reached, and Messi was still chasing Maradona's footsteps.

　　 I thought Messi was just a child, but he is 29 years old this year. I thought he would always pass 11 opponents and shoot through the **** goal, but his average running distance has dropped from 8,000+ meters two years ago to 7,500.

　　 Messi is difficult, but who in this world does not have a hard life? It hurts to pass the championship three times, but there are countless men who bought lottery tickets for a lifetime, and even smiled happily after winning five dollars.

　　 Messi is not difficult, he is just not always the luckiest one.

　　.

　　 The Hundred Years America’s Cup is an extra-ordinary playoff, just like the 2008 Golden Chopin Competition for Classical Piano.

　　 The previous America’s Cup should be called the South America’s Cup appropriately, but this year’s edition of the America’s Cup really deserves its name. North and Central America, and the Caribbean have all joined in. The finals have reached 16 teams, and even the venue has been changed to the United States outside of South America.

　　 South America has tycoons, and Baa has two doors. Chile is not an underdog in South America, but their impression of the world is almost the same as that of Portugal in Europe, and a little behind the traditional powers.

　　 Chile also lacks a top-tier star, Sanchez should be counted as one now. Fans say he is Arsenal's thigh. Vidal is also very strong, but if you have to say that he is a superstar, I am afraid that many people will not accept it.

　　 Except for the two of them, the only one who can be called the number one in the mainstream arena, and only Barcelona substitute goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo, who is good at penalties.

　　 But such a very civilian Chile has broken the star-studded Argentina dream for two consecutive years, stepping on the crying Argentine South American king twice. Such a Chile, so handsome Messi grows a big beard, and uses a sense of vicissitudes to hide the melancholy on his face.

　　 Chile, like Portugal, are both realist and pragmatic. They are actually more European than Brazil and Argentina.

　　 Argentina and Chile were in the same group stage, and they met each other in the first round. In that match, Messi watched the audience, but Argentina won 2:1 and Angel Di and Banega assisted each other.

　　 After that, the two teams were divided into two groups, each eating hot pot and singing, and there was no one under him.

　　 The quarter-finals defeated Chile and slaughtered Mexico 7:0, winning like a match-fix. Vargas singled out four yuan to establish the best scorer advantage.

　　 Argentina beat the host United States 4:0 in the semifinals. To be honest, Argentina is not lucky, otherwise the score should be doubled.

　　 Argentina's possession rate was nearly 70%, and the Americans had zero shots in 90 minutes. All those who watched the game were embarrassed for them.

　　 But the most embarrassing person this year is not the American, but the Brazilian.

　　 At the World Cup in China last year, Brazil was almost beaten back to the mother's womb by Germany 7:1. This wound was enough for them to lick a generation.

　　 Last year, at the America’s Cup, Brazil stumbling and qualifying from the group was kicked home by Paraguay. The Brazilian said: We are still in the healing period, you are waiting.

　　 By this year, the Brazilian felt that he was healed, the weather cleared and the rain stopped, and he thought he could do it again.

　　 Actually, it's all to blame for this America's Cup being held in the United States. If it were held in Brazil, they might have done it.

　　 One month after the end of the America’s Cup, the Brazilian Olympics will begin. The Olympic Men’s Football Gold Medal is an existence that the kingdom of football has never touched by Brazil. So after wrangling, Brazil's top star Neymar was absent from this Copa America, only as an overage player to concentrate on preparing for the Olympics.

　　 Actually, from the America's Cup final to the first match of the Olympic men's football, there are still 39 days. Neymar really needs to be careful, and he can't delay the two, Chelsea William and Paris Marchinhos will continue to play.

　　 So, are you Brazilians really good?

　　 can't do it! Brazil did not even qualify for the team in the United States. In addition to treating Haiti as Germany, he gritted his teeth and hit a 7:1, Brazil drew Ecuador and lost 0:1 to Peru. The Copa America in the round of 16 is not the European Cup in the round of 24. There is no chance for the third in the group.

　　 In fact, Neymar was lucky. In the World Cup last year, 1:7 Germany and 0:3 Holland, he happened to miss out due to injury. Now that the Brazilian team has sunk, he is waiting to serve the Olympics. Of course, they would say that Brazil's two fiascos were due to Neymar's absence.

　　.

　　 Messi is likely to look down on Brazilians, except Ronaldinho.

　　 Before entering the finals, his Argentina was in a state of failure, winning five games, scoring 18 goals and conceding only two, and 5 of the 18 goals belonged to Messi. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Argentina and Portugal are really in sharp contrast this year.

　　 Portugal got 6 draws and 1 win, but won the championship. Argentina has 5 wins and 1 draw, but it can't escape the fate of runner-up.

　　 In the final at the Metropolitan Stadium in New York, Argentina and Chile played with flames. In the first half, Rojo and Marcelo Diaz were sent off with red cards. After 120 minutes, the score was still 0:0, and Messi chewed on his fingernails for a while.

Chile goalkeeper Bravo and Messi are Barcelona teammates. He did not embarrass Messi, but Messi who played the first time kicked the penalty. Bravo was only in the fourth. Saved Biglia.

　　 In the final last year, Bravo let go of May boss, but saved Higuain and Banega. On the other hand, Argentine goalkeeper Romero, with 9 penalties in the two-year finals, only this year Vidal kicked one by himself, and the other eight Romero did not defend.

　　 Messi lost the championship for three consecutive years in his best years, the best year in Argentina.

　　The champion is like a lover. It may be a lifetime to turn around and miss.

　　 There used to be three sincere loves in front of Messi...

　　 Messi is not difficult, he is just not always the luckiest.

　　 After crying in the locker room, Messi was angry. He may be angry that he missed ‘love’ three times in a row, angry that he kept missing in his best years.

　　 Angry Messi announced his withdrawal from the national team: I will not come back, everything is over.

Messi may be distressed that he did not gain the maximum in the best three years, but he forgot that there was a man who was also at the best age and lost a full 14 months, but the man did not complain, did not anger, only The ambition to start again.

　　 The man was full of hope and love for his future life. Messi returned after a few months after quitting the national team, and then two years later he quit again and returned.

　　 Four years later, Messi also said that he would withdraw from Barcelona.

　　 And that man, even if he broke through life and death, did not say to quit.
