Here is Messi's hat-trick in all it's glory. Still dominating the World Cup at nearly 39 🐐🐐🐐

[ᜰ 🇦🇷 @markklfc]

Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history:

🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.”

“The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.”

“And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.”

“These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.”

“What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.”

“People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.”

“I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.”

“This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”

This season has made me realise that people hate arsenal more than they love their own teams and that’s truly embarrassing 😭

How can someone simultaneously be an all-time creator, scorer, playmaker, dribbler, passer and free-kick taker?
It’s genuinely astonishing how good he is and how much his talent has been taken for granted. A once in a lifetime athlete, no one comes close.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

There were found to be more VAR errors in the Premier League in the recent review.

In gameweek 35 there were three VAR errors and one on-field error that didn't meet the VAR threshold.

[C. @ArsecaI]

When Arsenal played attractive football
“Too soft, easily bullied”

Arsenal become physical
“Stoke FC, ruining football”

When Arsenal had the most red cards
“Dirty team, disciplinary issues”

Arsenal have the least red cards
“Corruption, let’s change the rules”

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Shoulder to shoulder. We move forward as one.

🚨🎙️| Ian Wright on the penalty decisions in yesterday’s Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid match, with reference to the current IFAB Laws of the Game and UEFA VAR guidelines:

🗣️ “Listen, watching this game, I have to say, this kind of refereeing and VAR chaos is ruining football. It’s becoming unwatchable.

First, Arsenal’s penalty, the one on Gyokores. By the book, it’s a foul all day. You come through the back, you don’t play the ball, you disrupt the player’s balance, that’s careless at minimum. The law is crystal clear on that. So yes, penalty. No controversy there.

Now Atlético’s handball… and this is where I have a problem. The law says if your arm makes your body unnaturally bigger, you’re taking a risk. Fine. But it also talks about context, deflections matter. The ball hits the leg first, then the arm. So now you’re telling me we ignore the deflection just because the arm is slightly away from the body? That’s a selective reading of the law. If you apply the spirit of the rule, that’s not a penalty. If you apply the strictest possible interpretation, maybe it is. But you can’t pick and choose when to be strict.

Then the second Arsenal penalty on Eberechi Eze, and this is the one that exposes everything. The referee gives it in real time, meaning he judged the contact as meaningful. The law says VAR only intervenes for a clear and obvious error. So explain to me how is that a clear and obvious error? There’s contact on the shin, the player is impeded, it’s not imaginary. At that point, VAR is re-refereeing the game, not correcting mistakes.

So what’s the pattern here? When it benefits Atlético Madrid, we go strict on the letter of the law, arm slightly out, penalty. When it benefits Arsenal, suddenly we go ultra-demanding ‘is the contact enough? let’s overanalyse it.’

That’s not consistency. That’s interpretation depending on outcome.

And this is why fans lose their heads because the same rule is being applied three different ways in the same game.

Don’t tell me about laws if you’re not going to apply them the same way every single time.”

🚨🎙️ | Wayne Rooney BLASTS the VAR decision Arsenal’s overturned penalty vs Atletico Madrid:

“Look, I’ll be honest with you, I’m sitting here in the studio scratching my head. For me, that’s a penalty all day long. I don’t care how many angles you show me on that VAR monitor, there’s contact there, and it’s enough to put Eberechi Eze off his stride when he’s about to pull the trigger.

The referee gives it on the pitch straight away, so he’s seen enough in real time and he’s in a good position. Then VAR gets involved, calls him over to the screen, and suddenly they’re trying to find reasons not to give it. Once a referee goes to that monitor, there’s always pressure to overturn it. But why? It’s not a clear and obvious error. It’s a foul.

Eze gets there first, nicks the ball, and he’s been caught. We’ve seen those given plenty of times in this game. If that’s Ademola Lookman going down at the other end, or if it happens in favour of one of the big sides, we’re not even having this conversation. It’s a stonewall penalty and everyone moves on. If it happens at the other end, we’d all be screaming for it.

That was Arsenal’s golden opportunity. They’ve worked their socks off tonight, played some cracking football, and earned that chance to win the match from the spot. To have it taken away by someone sat in a booth miles away is gutting for them.

Sometimes VAR tries to be too clever. It’s there to fix obvious mistakes, not re-referee every little bit of contact and second guess decisions. Tonight they’ve got it massively wrong.

You can talk about marginal contact all you want, but at the end of the day, Eberechi Eze has been fouled in the box. Arsenal have been robbed tonight, simple as that. It’s a shambles really.”
