Argentina will play in three World Cup finals in the Messi era.
And he led them as their captain, their top scorer, and their best player to all three finals.
Only 6 players in all of history can boast of playing in 3 FIFA WC final matches; none can boast of being their team’s best player in all three.
Do you know the crazier bit? Messi has won two FIFA World Cup player of tournament awards and he will certainly win a third regardless of what happens in the final.
He is above and beyond all. Past, Present and foreseeable future.
23 years old and free of the disease he was born with.
CRISPR switched his own cells back to making the hemoglobin he made as a baby, the kind that does not sickle. No more pain crises. No more transfusions.
As a doctor I stay careful with big words, but moments like this are exactly why I went into medicine.
That Ghanaian player with the 1-on-1 chance should have chip Pickford. Players should learn somethings from the Messi. Most of these players think of what they’ll do after the ball gets to them rather than constantly looking for space/opportunity before the action gets to them
