Argentina's chaotic World Cup campaign was brought to a halt in the most entertaining way possible.After stumbling into the last-16 courtesy of a 2-1 win over Nigeria, the South American side were beaten 4-3 by France in Kazan.Teenage superstar Kylian Mbappe destroyed their lacklustre defence, scoring twice and winning the penalty for the opening goal.Lionel Messi couldn't drag his side to victory despite two assists, while Sergio Aguero's late goal proved the Manchester City man should have been starting.Aguero finished as Argentina's top scorer for the tournament with two, despite not starting their final two games.He was also hauled off bizarrely early by Jorge Sampaoli when they went 1-0 down to Croatia.And there were reports of Aguero trying to lead a mutiny against Sampaoli after the 3-0 loss to Croatia, leading to Gonzalo Higuain taking his place.It's just a really odd situation with Aguero and his first Instagram post after Argentina's World Cup exit says everything you need to know.Translated, the caption reads: "It is time to thank. My son, my family and my friends who accompanied me every day."Those who with great effort came to Russia to encourage us. To all those who from Argentina and many countries supported us with feeling and passion.
"And above all my colleagues who are the best in the world for leaving the soul in every game. Also to the doctors, physios, props and chefs that are part of a great team.
"To continue fighting always and together. I love you Argentina â¤ðŸ‡¦ðŸ‡·."
The key thing missing? Any mention of the coaching staff in his message. Even the chefs got a shoutout.
It paints an ugly picture of the managerial situation right now, with reports suggesting Sampaoli will be removed from his post soon.
And there could be some serious changes to the squad as well after Javier Mascherano announced his retirement and Messi expected to follow.
It'll certainly be worth keeping an eye on Argentina at the 2019 Copa America.
