His only trophy with Argentina came with the under-23 team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.Messi and Argentina also lost to Chile in a penalty shootout in the final of last years Copa America.

The national team is over for me.Messi was also upset with the internal crisis involving the Argentine Football Association, which has been facing governance problems and claims of financial corruption and mismanagement.

Argentinas youngsters didnt make past the group stage at the Rio Games.A record five-time world player of the year, Messi hadnt talked publicly after shocking Argentina and the rest of the world with his unexpected resignation. Many people back home were urging him to reconsider his decision and return to play at least until the 2018 World Cup in Russia.Newly appointed Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza, who traveled to Barcelona to try to convince Messi to return to the national team, included Messi for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay on Sept. 1 and Venezuela on Sept. 6. Argentina is third in the South American qualifying group, behind Ecuador and leader Uruguay after six matches.Messi thanked those who wanted him to continue playing for Argentina.I hope that well be able to give them something to cheer about soon, he said.---AP Sports Writer Tales Azzoni contributed to this report from Sao Paulo.
