Lionel Messi shared a tribute to his late father, Jorge, on social media on Wednesday, opening up about how difficult it was to lead Argentina to the World Cup final and expressing uncertainty about whether he will continue playing soccer. All I ever did was play soccer, and now I have serious doubts about whether I'll keep doing it for much longer.” Lionel Messi led Argentina to a runner-up finish in this summer's World Cup. “You asked me to play in this last World Cup so many times and just before it started was when you took a turn for the worse," the post said. Messi had returned to his native Argentina and missed his MLS club Inter Miami's recent Leagues Cup match against Monterrey.
