Lionel Messi says he's retiring from international soccer after Copa America loss

Lionel Messi told reporters after Argentina's Copa America Centenario final loss to Chile on penalty kicks that he is retiring from the national team. Sunday night, Messi said that after so many missed chances, he is ready to step away.
Messi was Argentina's all-time leading goalscorer during Copa America Centenario. He spoke out about problems with the Argentina football federation, but did not bring that up when he told reporters of his decision to quit international soccer.

He said:

"The national team is over for me. That’s four finals (lost), it's not for me," Messi told reporters after losing his third final in as many years. "It’s a made decision, I think."

Argentina lost to Chile in penalty kicks on Sunday night.

Argentina lost to Chile in penalties in the 2015 Copa America and lost to Germany in the 2014 World Cup final. They also lost to Brazil in the 2007 final.

Kanye West unveils bizarre music video of him and Kim naked in bed with Taylor Swift, Ray J, Bill Cosby and Donald Trump

The bizarre video features the controversial rapper in bed with his wife Kim Kardashian naked and asleep, along with ten other naked and sleepingcelebrities including Taylor Swift and Ray J.

A slow zoom out reveals their other bedmates to be Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, Bill Cosby, George
W. Bush, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Rihanna and Chris Brown, all snuggled up beside them in the enormous bed.

In the song, Kanye infamously rapped about Taylor that he ‘made that b***h famous,’ and adds that they might still have sex.
Swift, with breasts and vagina exposed, has pride of place beside Kanye himself.

Meanwhile on Kim’s opposite side with his arm around her is her ex boyfriend Ray J, the co-star of the sex tape that arguably put her on the road to megastardom.

While all the men in the snoozefest – Kanye included – have their tackle covered up by strategically placed legs and sheets, the ladies are afforded no such cover.

While Kim has been by no stretch of the imagination shy about showing off her bits before, just her famous rear is on display as she lies face down.

The visual debuted in front of 8,000 people on a 100-foot screen at the L.A. Forum, as it was simultaneously released exclusively to Tidal subscribers.

Kanye has kept quiet on how many – if any – of the famous faces are the real celebs, or just a combination of lookalikes and digital trickery, DailyMail reports.
