I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read. Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo? It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself. After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said: “You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.” It was an obvious dig at Messi. Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire. Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo? The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch. Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies. What happened next? Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse. Then Messi went on to win the World Cup. This time, the excuses changed again. They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say. Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable: “A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.” At first glance, it sounds reasonable. But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved. Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s. Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title. Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said: “The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.” A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled. Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano. By your own standards: * You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8. * You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles. * You never won the World Cup. * You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker. So what now? Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it? If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend. Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends. The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place. That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho. Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it. What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements. Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait. Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance. Good bye. Ronaldo.

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

Messi out of Context

Tomense un momento para leer la declaración del DT de Argelia, rendido a los pies de Messi, pero con conceptos que no suelen escucharse. 🗣️ Vladimir Petković: “Llegamos a este partido con un plan, con disciplina y con convicción... pero a veces el fútbol te pone enfrente a un jugador capaz de destruir la mejor preparación con un solo toque de pelota.” “Lo que produjo Lionel Messi esta noche no fue solamente una gran actuación; fue una clase de fútbol dictada por una de las mentes y talentos más grandes que haya visto este deporte.” “Les decís a tus jugadores que se mantengan compactos, concentrados, que no le den espacios... y aun así encuentra la forma de crear magia donde no debería existir.” “Lo más frustrante es que podés hacer muchas cosas bien en defensa y aun así terminar sufriendo, porque ve pases, movimientos y oportunidades que nadie más en la cancha es capaz de ver.” “A los 38 años, la mayoría de los futbolistas hablan de retirarse, administrar minutos o bajar el ritmo. Messi sigue definiendo partidos de Mundial, rompiendo récords y haciendo que defensores de élite parezcan impotentes.” “Miré a mi banco después de su tercer gol y había una sensación de incredulidad en todos. No porque estuviéramos perdiendo, sino porque estábamos presenciando algo especial que quizás no vuelva a repetirse.” “La gente hablará del hat-trick, de los récords y de las estadísticas, pero lo que más me impresionó fue la autoridad. Controló el partido como si el juego se moviera a la velocidad que él decidía.” “Me tocó enfrentar a grandes jugadores a lo largo de mi carrera, pero esta noche fue diferente. Esta noche se sintió como si la historia del fútbol se hubiera detenido durante noventa minutos para recordarle al mundo exactamente quién es Lionel Messi.”

El México real, el que no sale en las mañaneras ni en los discursitos oficialistas. Una mujer fue víctima de robo y agresión sexual dentro de su propia casa. Si…en este país no es necesario salir de casa para ser víctima de la inseguridad. Sucedió en Toluca.

Para todos aquellos que hoy se sienten orgullosos de las acciones del día de hoy, paso a desbloquearles un recuerdo. Después de 7 largos años de inacción, hoy por fin entendieron que @FelipeCalderon siempre tuvo la razón. Estamos asumiendo las consecuencias; pero muerto el perro, se acaba la rabia.

Ayer pasamos por el AIFA y es un aeropuerto vacío, inconcluso y abandonado: sin aviones, sin gente. Es increíble lo que nos costó construirlo, lo que nos cuesta mantenerlo operando con pérdidas, y luego ver la mierda de aeropuerto que siguen usando millones de pasajeros que vuelan por el AICM. Qué robadero de dinero hicieron el PEJE, sus hijos y sus amigos con esto de los aeropuertos, y qué friega le pusieron al país: No hizo el nuevo aeropuerto. No terminó el AIFA. No rehabilitó el viejo aeropuerto. SI se robaron miles de millones de pesos. Pésima decisión del PEJE y se lo dijimos. Por cierto, ¿no han dicho para cuándo quedará terminado el AFA?; si se fijan bien en mi foto, le falta la otra mitad. ¿Pues qué inauguraron?
