Lionel Messi prays for Copa America win in 2011

If you are interested to know what Lionel Messi asked to Santa as a gift for this Christmas then the answer is that he wants to win the Copa America 2011. The 2011 edition is going to take place Lionel Messi’s country Argentina. So, the Argentine fans are eagerly waiting for it and they will perhaps forget the sadness of crushing out of World Cup 2010 from the quarterfinals.

Messi helped his country to win goal medal at Beijing Olympics 2008. However, in World Cup his performance was not bad but his teammates could not provide him the much needed support. Hopefully, in Copa America 2011, Messi will be able to inspire the players and win the championship. In 2007, Argentina could reach the final of Copa America 2007 but lost to Brazil in a very bad way. Lionel Messi must have not forgotten that bad and bitter memory and he will try to take revenge.
