Argentina 0-0 Colombia - Messi puts his header wide

Probably not. But the same can be said with Messi in the others.

My point is that people give Ronaldo huge credit for winning the Euros in a final he didn't take part in, yet Messi wouldn't have won those finals even if he'd not played.

So it seems a little unfair to discredit Messi for getting his teams just as far as Ronaldo did. The only reason Ronaldo has a major international trophy is because Lord Eder buried a beauty.

Unless you're going to tell me Argentina beat Germany without a Messi.

Internationally they've performed about the same. They've been pivotal parts of teams getting to the final. That's about all I can say about them for their countries.
