How do I even explain to these folks that the first step to solving a problem is acknowledging it?

100 - On record since 2005-06, there are 21 occasions a teenager has completed 100+ passes in a LaLiga match and Pau Cubarsí accounts for 20 of those.
🪄 He completed 106 passes in Barcelona's 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid.
Accomplished.
Greatest of all time for a reason
In a league that has Griezmann, Son, Muller, Lewandowski, Luis Suarez…. 38 year old Messi won the golden boot.
Before you say it’s just MLS, Remember he challenged Mbappe, Ballon d’or winner Kane and Haaland for the golden boot in the World Cup and came out 2nd

Don’t let them gaslight you with the rubbish they’re saying. There’s nothing Ronaldo has done that’s special that others hasn’t done.
All they do is overhype the average thing he does.
Portugal has always had quality players but always fall short. Imagine saying Harry Kane plays for a small team because they haven’t won anything since.
History doesn’t do anything in recent years. If not, Italy that’s 4 times world champions would still be winning. No one cares about what Pele did in 1956 or what Ronaldo did in 2002. France 2026, Spain 2026 has better players than the current Brazil squad and that’s what matters.
Nottingham forest are 2 time UCL winners while Arsenal isn’t but their 2 UCL doesn’t make them better than current Arsenal.
Ronaldo fans are trying to make you believe that Portugal has always been a small country until Ronaldo put them on the map. A country that has Eusebio, Figo, Deco and others. A country which their club is among top 7 in Europe and their clubs have won UCL different times.
They have underachieved, yes but underachieving doesn’t automatically make them a small country like Belarus, Poland and co.
If we treated Nigeria the way we treat our personal businesses, by now, we would have fired and blacklisted most of our leaders, past and present.
Imagine running a company where management repeatedly fails to deliver, wastes resources, misses targets, and keeps making excuses. How long would you keep those people in charge? Yet, when it comes to running a country, we sometimes make excuses for the very things we would never tolerate in our own businesses.
Leadership should come with targets, accountability, and consequences for failure. In a democracy, the consequences of failure are felt during the election period.
We can do better. Yes, we can.
Let's take this moment to appreciate a very unique international career.
We will NEVER see another player playing at 6 EUROs and 6 WCs and being a top 5 player at none of them 👏
Now that both Messi and Ronaldo have retired from international football, let us have a look at the staggering difference between their International careers.
