Famous English journalist Piers Morgan criticized Argentina's football team leader Lionel Messi.

According to the TV star, the striker completely "disappeared" on the pitch during the 0:1 loss in the World Cup final against Spain.

"Everyone is talking about 'Saint Lionel.'

The guy who was supposed to be the best player of all time just vanished in the final.

I couldn't even say if he played at all against the Spaniards.

Moreover, L. Messi should no longer be considered a "good guy" – one only needs to remember the shameless and terrible way the Argentine tried to remove Marc Cucurella from the pitch," Morgan said.
