At the moment we&#8217;re not winning any more in the (Argentina) shirt and we have to put things right to earn the three points&#8221; against Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>Messi came to Brazil hoping to end a painful run of losing finals with Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>Despite winning La Liga 10 times and the Champions League four times with Barcelona, he&#8217;s never won a major honor with his country.<\/p>\n<p>Three times &#8212; 2007, 2015 and 2016 &#8212; he&#8217;s lost in a Copa America final and in 2014 Argentina were also defeated by Germany in the World Cup final.<\/p>\n<p>But after their first two performances here, the question is not whether they can end their 26-wait for a major title, but simply whether they can avoid taking the first flight home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Jun 21 &#8211; Lionel Messi was looking at a glass half full after his penalty kept alive Argentina&#8217;s hopes of reaching the Copa America knock-out stages following a 1-1 draw with Paraguay.
