Ronaldo fans just wouldnโt understand this.
Out of the 17 Argentine players that played in the World Cup final against France, 14 of them were born between 1991-2001.
They were born well after the Maradona era and likely grew up watching and idolizing Messi.
Those players were between 10-20 years old when Messi dropped the greatest performance in Champions League final history in 2011 and was being called the best ever.
They were 13-23 when they saw him carry the burden of an entire nation only to come short in the final of the 2014 World Cup.
They were 15-25 when they saw him cry in the 2016 Copa America final after coming short again in their 3rd consecutive international final.
They saw his own people burning his jerseys and cuss him for not being able to end their trophy drought.
They saw the countryโs footballing idol tell the team to not come back to Argentina if they failed to lose that final.
They watched their idol carry the blame for every defeat and never complain about it.
They saw him fall, get back up, and try again.
Over. And. Over.
FOUR consecutive international titles isnโt by coincidence.
Messi inspired an entire generation of footballers that are willing to go to war for him in every match.
Simply because they donโt want to see their idol fall again.

โAgainst Lamine Yamal, for exampleโ.
@culBird@Wizarab10 Before they bid for the WC, FIFA has been trying to force their way into the US market hence, the US preseason tours. Nd It won't be a conspiracy theory If FIFA were actually the ones who suggested the US should host WC alongside its neighbours without making it look suspicious.
We are officially in World Cup month. Please leave your xG charts, pressing percentages, and defensive metrics in the club season. International tournament football is strictly decided by pure vibes, individual brilliance, tactical survival, and a random goalkeeper turning into prime Lev Yashin for two weeks. Enjoy the entertainment and put the spreadsheets away.
@Elkrosmediahub Even if Tinubu comes out and publicly like Homelander and admits to all these crimes... some big bunch of buffoon are still going to campaign and vote for him bcs of peanuts
@IhejirikaS48939 I'm not talking about age factor,, Trent is able to compete at the highest level but his performances has been sub par this season, hence him being dropped, can't really fault Tuchel for that nau
Hello @LCFC
Iโm Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. Iโve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.
Iโm not asking for a contract. Iโm asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If Iโm not good enough, Iโll walk away with no hard feelings.
Iโm fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.
My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn
Thanks,
Olaogun
