โIโm not sure what Hakimi (getting booed relentlessly) has done to upset the localsโ. Blimey, Iโm a big Ally McCoist fan as a co-commentator, but surely even the most cursory pre-game research should have thrown up the latest news story involving him in France.

โช๏ธโPeople always ask if we treat Messi differently in the national team.โ
โช๏ธโThe answer is yes... and anyone who says otherwise is lying.โ
โช๏ธโWe're talking about the greatest player in history.โ
โช๏ธโBut it's not about giving him special privileges. It's about understanding who he is and what he means to Argentina.โ
โช๏ธโWhen Messi speaks, everyone listens. When Messi is on the pitch, everyone runs a little harder. Not because he asks us to, but because he inspires it.โ
โช๏ธโI've played with him for many years, and what surprises me most is his humility. A player who has won everything could act like a king, but Leo is one of the most normal people you'll ever meet.โ
โช๏ธโThat's why the dressing room protects him.โ
โช๏ธโNot because he's Messi the superstar, but because he's Messi our captain, our teammate and the man who carried the dreams of an entire country for so many years.โ
โช๏ธโSome teams have great players...โ
โช๏ธโWe have Messi.โ
โช๏ธโAnd trust me, that's a privilege none of us take for granted.โ
Brilliant performance by Messi last night - but he should have been sent off for this outrageous studs-up foul on Algeriaโs Mandi. The fact he didnโt even get booked is ridiculous - could have broken the guyโs leg.
Some of us used to stay up till 3/4am to watch Messi play qualifiers for Argentina against Bolivia etc when the Argentina team was a shambles. We did that for the best part of 10 years.Cos we knew we had to witness the genius & magic of Messi, like he's given us tonight #worldcup
No, this is why the game is on its arse. A series of โoh well itโs not that big of a deal, just crack on with it,โ and you end up with the walking cue ball being able to make football a four quarter sport with no mandate to do such a thing.
Why isnโt there a show available first thing in the morning showing all the goals from overnight on one video?
My poor boy and I have to just keep wading through all the official individual clips edits on YouTube.
Feels a missed opportunityโฆ
