🇩🇪🇦🇷🇪🇬 | Toni Kroos destruyó las conspiraciones de los fracasados que aseguran que Argentina le robó a Egipto en el Mundial:
"No entiendo por qué la gente siempre busca excusas después de un resultado como este. El fútbol se decide en 90 minutos, no por un solo momento. Egipto jugó una primera mitad excelente, pero, después de ponerse 2–0, perdió el control del partido y Argentina aprovechó. Eso es lo que hacen los equipos de élite.
"La gente sigue hablando del árbitro y del VAR, pero, si ves el partido de manera objetiva, la remontada de Argentina se construyó sobre su intensidad, calidad y mentalidad. Creyeron hasta el pitido final, mientras que Egipto no pudo mantener el mismo nivel que mostró al principio.
"No podés tirar por la borda una ventaja de dos goles contra uno de los mejores equipos del mundo y luego reducirlo todo a una sola decisión. El fútbol es mucho más complejo que eso.
"Siempre habrá debates sobre el arbitraje, y eso es normal. Pero decir que el partido fue 'robado' o que el torneo se está regalando a Argentina es injusto para todos los jugadores en el campo. Los jugadores deciden los partidos con sus actuaciones, no con teorías conspirativas.
"Lo difícil, después de una derrota, es aceptar que el rival fue mejor en los momentos decisivos. Argentina merece crédito por la forma en que respondió bajo presión, y Egipto debería estar orgulloso de su actuación mientras también aprende de los errores que le costaron caro. Eso es el fútbol".
Ronaldo: "O maior título que ganhei pela seleção foi 2016, que para mim tem a mesma dimensão do Mundial, sinceramente, por isso..."
Amanhã levanto-me como me levantei hoje... de consciência tranquila.
Dei o meu melhor, ganhei 3 títulos por Portugal. Portugal não tinha ganho nenhum título antes de Cristiano"
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.
"Football in Messi's presence found it purest voice"
I don't know what to say to you if you still think there's any footballer greater than Messi. He is the best ever and there will NEVER be another player like him. ♥️🐐
🚨🏆 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’ve won Euro 2016 and for me it has same dimension as the World Cup”.
“That remains forever. Tomorrow is a new day, and we go”.
مين يتذكر كرستيانو لما شاف نفسه على اللاعبين وقال ( استمرو في العمل ولكنكم لستم افضل مني شكلياً وانتم تعلمون ذلك ) كلهم تقبلو الاهانه الا لامين يمال ما تحمل لان عنده كرامه عكس الباقي
You can buy PR, push fake narratives, pay influencers, and manipulate social media all day. But football isn't decided on Twitter. When the people who actually understand the game speak players, coaches, and managers the propaganda falls apart every time.
🚨 | 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Reports are circulating that Cristiano Ronaldo’s PR team has been privately messaging major sports media pages, offering paid promotions to push negative narratives against Argentina and Lionel Messi.
