🚨 Josko Gvardiol on Lionel Messi’s performance against DC United:

“I saw the second goal and immediately knew what people would say.

‘It’s only MLS.’

I’ve heard that one before.

A friend sent me the video. Messi receives the ball, moves past one defender, then another, then another, and scores.

Underneath it he wrote, ‘Does this look familiar?’

I replied, ‘You could have just said good morning.’

Because I know that feeling very well.

In 2022, we played Argentina in the World Cup semi-final. I was 20 years old. Messi was 35.

Before the game, people spoke about our defence. We had been very good throughout the tournament, and I felt confident. You have to feel confident at that level.

I remember being told, ‘Don’t let him turn.’

Good advice.

The problem is that Messi doesn’t always need to turn. Sometimes you think you’ve shown him exactly where you want him to go, and then you realise he wanted to go there all along.

There was one moment near the touchline.

I stayed close to him. I thought, ‘Okay, he’s going towards the corner. I can deal with this.’

He slowed down.

I slowed down.

Then he moved again, and suddenly I was trying to catch up with a man who had the ball the entire time.

He got past me and found Julian Alvarez. Goal.

Afterwards, people kept showing me the clip.

I said, ‘Thank you. I was there.’

It wasn’t a nice feeling. You play your whole life to reach a World Cup semi-final, and one of the things everybody remembers is you chasing Messi.

But I learned something from it.

When you watch him on television, you see the space he runs into. When you’re defending him, you see three different spaces he might run into, and you have to choose one.

He already knows which one you’re going to choose.

That’s why I laugh when somebody watches him do this in Miami and says the defenders are simply not good enough.

Of course the level of every league is different. Nobody is pretending otherwise.

But what exactly are you asking the defender to do?

Stay close? I tried that.

Give him space? He’ll shoot.

Show him onto his right foot? Good luck getting him to agree.

And people forget what happened at that World Cup. It wasn’t one match against Croatia. He was doing it throughout the tournament, against players who compete at the highest level in Europe.

He wasn’t running around like a 20-year-old. He was choosing his moments.

Now he’s 39. He has just said goodbye to Argentina, and a few days later he’s back in Miami scoring twice against DC United.

His second goal was the one that made me smile.

Three defenders around him, and he still looks like the calmest person in the stadium.

You can criticise the defending. That’s football. We all make mistakes.

But sometimes the person making you look foolish is also the reason the mistake happens.

A reporter once asked me whether I wished I could play that moment in Qatar again.

Of course.

I would love another chance.

‘Would you do anything differently?’

‘Yes.’

‘What?’

‘I would ask someone else to help me.’

And even then, I’m not promising anything.

So when people tell me Messi can only do this because he’s playing in MLS, I understand why they say it.

I just find it strange.

Because the last time he did something like that to me, we were playing for a place in the World Cup final.

And I’m fairly certain Croatia weren’t in MLS.”

Hi #cPenNetwork community,

Personal days are now live for $HATN mining! Our updated attendance policy takes effect September 15, 2026 (UTC). Here’s how it works.

🛡 Personal days (new)

Receive up to 3 personal days per calendar year, granted on your first mining claim or first HATN earning of the year.

The allowance is prorated based on the days remaining and rounded up to a whole day. For example, 0.12 rounds up to 1 personal day.

For 2026, you can receive 1 personal day because the feature starts on September 15.

With automatic cover enabled, an available personal day covers a missed mining day:

• Your streak is protected.
• No missed-day deduction applies.
• HATN equal to one basic claim is credited to your in-app balance.

Unused personal days expire at year-end, do not carry over, and cannot be cashed out.

🏖 Vacation days

Each basic or bonus claim adds 0.02 of a vacation day. That means 50 claims earn 1 full vacation day.

With automatic cover enabled, once your personal days are used up, an available full vacation day covers a missed day with the same benefits: streak protection, no missed-day deduction, and HATN equal to one basic claim.

🎉 Community holidays

We currently have two cPen Network community holidays:

• New Year’s Day: January 1
• Attention Day: October 24

To qualify for holiday benefits, the preceding UTC day must have a basic mining claim or be covered by a personal day, vacation day, or eligible holiday protection. Consecutive protected holidays qualify one another.

For the upcoming Attention Day on October 24, you qualify if you make a basic claim on October 23 or that day is covered by a personal or vacation day.

If eligible:

• Every mining claim you make on the holiday earns 2× its usual HATN reward.
• If you skip the holiday, your streak is protected and no missed-day deduction applies. No HATN is credited, and no personal or vacation day is used.

🗓 One basic claim a day keeps your streak

A mining day follows UTC. Your basic claim maintains your streak; bonus claims add rewards without being required to maintain it.

⚠️ Missed days without protection

If you miss a day without coverage or eligible holiday protection, your streak resets and a daily deduction applies to your in-app HATN balance:

• Days 1–7: 2.5 HATN per day
• Days 8–14: 5 HATN per day
• Days 15–21: 10 HATN per day

The daily deduction continues doubling after every 7 consecutive uncovered missed days.

A basic claim, a covered day, or a protected holiday resets this count. Your balance never falls below zero.

📌 HATN earned from tasks, ads, or referrals does not count as a mining claim. Tap Mine to make your daily basic claim.

📣 INK distribution is coming soon

Phased INK distribution will begin soon. Please check that you have correctly added your self-custody BSC (BEP-20) wallet address in the cPen app. Use a wallet where you control the private keys. Do not use a centralized exchange (CEX) deposit address.

Thanks for your continued support.
