Fraud! He can't do anything outside Barcelona — He did it!
Fraud! He can't win an international trophy — He won 4!
Fraud he can't dominate the World Cup without Di Maria — He’s the top scorer
We are dealing with mad people!
You can prefer Ronaldo as your idol or favorite player. That’s understandable.
But coming out to say that Ronaldo is better than Messi, you must be sick.
Messi played over 120 minutes in a gruelling encounter, scored one, helped create two others, and somehow there are fans disputing his Man of the Match.
The same crowd that applauded an honorary one handed to a passenger with 25 touches, in a game won only after he was removed.
Messi is where he is because the world has always asked more of him than it ever asked of any footballer, dead or alive. He keeps answering.
Michael Jordan never got taken off with the game on the line. When push comes to shove, you need Lebron James out there. Argentina wouldn’t dare take Messi off to increase their chances of winning.
Portugal did that to Cristiano Ronaldo today. And there is nothing wrong with that. They needed the team to win. He is just another team member like Conceicao said.
This is what separates him from the GOAT illusion his fans insist on. Portugal’s greatest moments happen to find him on the bench. Not because he is a bad player but because Portugal are simply better with him motivating them on the sidelines.
Mbappe is a better World Cup goalscorer than Messi cause he scored 18 goals in lesser games but Messi is not a better goalscorer than Ronaldo with same logic
At the 2022 World Cup, Argentina were set to face Brazil in the semi-final. They just needed to beat the Netherlands. FIFA informed the Netherlands that they'd be permitted some drama, but they had to lose by whatever means to Argentina. Argentina led 2-0, pretended to lose concentration and it went to 2-2. But Argentina had been arranged to win anyway.
FIFA quietly informed Brazil that they had to lose to Croatia. That is how Argentina ended up playing Croatia instead. In that game, FIFA instructed Croatia to fold completely. They duly collapsed 3-0.
For the final, FIFA informed France they had to lose by at least two goals. It was becoming too obvious though, so FIFA told the referee to manufacture two penalties for France to make it look competitive.
Kylian Mbappé's hat-trick was authorised. Kolo Muani's one-on-one miss in the final minute of extra time was not an accident. Why do you think France didn't ban him from playing football after that miss? He was wearing a secret earpiece. FIFA called him directly and told him not to score, because a 4-3 France win would have blown the whole operation.
During the penalty shootout, France were permitted to score exactly one of their first three. FIFA did not want Argentina needing a fifth penalty; too much drama, too much risk of someone going off-script.
Africa also had its share of the arrangement. FIFA contacted Portugal and informed them they had to lose to Morocco to guarantee African representation in the semi-finals. Why do you think Cristiano Ronaldo was weeping? He could not believe his own teammates had agreed to the terms.
The evidence is everywhere. You just have to be willing to see it.
Beyond the catchy phrase.
The point ycee was trying to make is how;
What we reward.
What we prioritise.
What we promote.
What we emulate;
Reflects our society.
The label just describes our culture.
It describes an uprising. An uprising against reason and common sense.
Every industry has people who care deeply about what they put into the world and people who don’t care as much. Music included
Feels like the bigger conversation is what kind of thinking have we been rewarding all this time? 🤔
Also, education and intelligence aren’t the same thing. There are thoughtful people who never had much access to school, and there are highly educated people who confidently spread nonsense 😂

Mbappe has scored 4 goals and dropped 2 assists. This is exactly what is called playing for the team, not scoring 5 goals and not letting any of your teammates score too.
