Messi announces: "It was my last match in a World Cup, but I will play again for Argentina"

Lionel Messi will continue to play for Argentina. Messi, who hinted that he was thinking of retiring after the World Cup, announced it after tonight's victory on penalties over France: "There is nothing after this, what will there be? Nothing after winning the Copa América and the World Cup, almost at the end of my career. But on the other hand I love football, I like what I do, I like the national team. I don't start thinking about matches, we wanted to be world champions and we are. It's the my last match at a World Cup, but people have to expect me to play a little more for the national team, to enjoy a few matches as a world champion."
