Si la persona con la que estás hablando de fútbol te dice que este señor no es el mejor jugador de la historia, levántate de la silla y no vuelvas más. No tiene que caso seguir hablando con alguien que ve el juego de espaldas. El más grande de todos los tiempos es uno solo y, sí, se llama Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini. NO HAY DEBATE.
Lionel Messi has scored more World Cup goals after turning 35 (10) than the following players in their entire careers:
-Cristiano Ronaldo
-Thierry Henry
-Maradona
-Rivaldo
-Neymar
-Harry Kane
Absolutely insane 🤯🐐
🇦🇷 June 16, 2006 → Messi’s World Cup debut 🌎
🇦🇷 June 16, 2026 → Messi’s last World Cup debut 🌎
There is no such thing as a coincidence... just vibes the universe can't ignore 🐐🔥
How do you mean for straight 2 years, Messi was the only player to score for Argentina.
And he carried them to the 2018 World Cup.
Messi is really Underrated
This is probably the most difficult World Cup to win for any nation, because you’re still going to see a lot of African teams and even Asian teams go toe to toe with the European giants throughout this tournament.
The gap is not what it used to be. African and Asian football have evolved massively over the last two decades. Most of their top players are now developing in elite European leagues, playing at the highest tactical and physical level every week. When countries like Morocco, Japan, Senegal, South Korea, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Algeria, and others arrive at a World Cup, they’re no longer showing up as underdogs hoping for a miracle, they’re coming with players who are already competing against the world’s best every weekend.
The coaching has improved too. Teams are far more organized tactically, better prepared defensively, and much smarter at exploiting weaknesses. Gone are the days when some nations would simply rely on passion and athleticism. Now they’re arriving with detailed game plans, structured pressing systems, defensive blocks, and clear attacking patterns.
What we’ve seen so far in this World Cup is proof of that. European teams are still strong, but they’re not steamrolling opponents the way many people expected. Teams like Morocco drawing Brazil, Japan holding the Netherlands, Cape Verde drawing Spain.
That’s why lifting this World Cup will be incredibly difficult. It won’t just be about beating the traditional powerhouses like Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Germany, or Spain. You’ll also have to navigate dangerous African, Asian, and even CONCACAF sides capable of punishing any mistake.
The era where people could look at the fixture and automatically hand big team
three points is gone. Football is becoming more global, the talent pool is deeper than ever, and this World Cup is showcasing exactly that. Every game feels like a potential upset waiting to happen.
Easily one of the most shocking results in World Cup history

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed Saturn in a way never seen before, using powerful infrared vision to uncover hidden details within the gas giant’s atmosphere. In these remarkable observations, Saturn’s iconic rings shine brilliantly while the planet itself appears unusually dark because methane gas absorbs much of the reflected sunlight. Beyond the stunning contrast, scientists discovered mysterious dark spots, intricate cloud structures, and glowing auroral activity near the poles, revealing a far more dynamic and complex world than previously understood. These groundbreaking images are helping astronomers unlock new secrets about Saturn’s weather, atmospheric chemistry, and the evolution of giant planets throughout our Solar System. 🪐🔭✨
