Should under-fire Messi be dropped from the Argentina national team?

It is now over 20 years since the Albiceleste won a major title and it is star man Lionel Messi who is bearing the brunt of the blame back home. Tata Martino's side again fell short in last Saturday's Copa America final - losing on penalties to hosts Chile. 
Despite breaking a host of records and winning four Champions League titles with Barcelona, the 28-year-old has been unable to replicate his club heroics with the national side.There are increasing calls in the Argentine media for Messi to be dropped - with the playmaker criticised for not caring about his nation and for being unable to function outside of Barcelona's setup.
What do you think? Should he be dropped from the national team?
