Henceforth, I’ll focus more on watching Barcelona matches instead of Liverpool’s until Arne Slot is relieved of his duties as Liverpool manager.
Thank you 😊
If I ever had the money to spend, this is one of many things I would do. The location of this is awesome. I would love to live in a forest area such as this. The house is also pretty cool with the secret bunkers.
The easiest way to expose a Ronaldo fan’s football knowledge is to stop talking about Ronaldo.
Suddenly, their football logic changes completely.
They’ll pick Mbappé over Haaland because of overall play, chance creation, influence on the game, and versatility — the exact reasons Messi is rated above Ronaldo.
They’ll praise Olise, Vitinha, and other complete footballers for controlling matches beyond goals and assists.
Yet when the Messi vs Ronaldo debate starts, all those standards disappear.
They can even celebrate players like Bruno for his assists until Messi’s name appears.
It’s not really their fault.
When you’re emotionally attached to a player who is generations behind Messi in overall footballing ability, consistency in football logic becomes difficult.
🚨 Jorge Valdano on Zlatan Ibrahimović saying Lionel Messi ended the GOAT debate by winning the 2022 World Cup:
🗣 “I understand why Zlatan says the debate ended in Qatar, because the World Cup is football's greatest stage. But for me, Messi's place in history was established long before he lifted that trophy.
The World Cup did not create his greatness; it completed a story that was already extraordinary. By 2012, after winning four consecutive Ballon d'Or awards, Messi had already achieved a level of excellence that very few athletes in any sport have ever reached. Week after week, season after season, he redefined what we believed a footballer could do.
People often speak as though the World Cup made Messi the greatest. I see it differently. It simply removed the last argument used by those who doubted him. Greatness is not built in one month; it is built over an entire career.
We should also remember that before 2022, Messi had already carried Argentina to the 2014 World Cup final and was named the tournament's best player. Ironically, he was criticised for finishing second, while others who failed to reach that stage were judged far less harshly. Such has always been the burden of being Lionel Messi—his standards were higher than everyone else's.
Recognising Messi as the greatest is not a criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo's career is one of the most remarkable in football history. His ambition, consistency, and longevity deserve universal admiration. But football occasionally produces a player whose influence cannot be measured only by statistics or trophies.
There are great footballers, and then there are artists who change the language of the game. Messi belongs to that rare group. He scores, creates, imagines, and solves problems that others cannot even see.
The World Cup gave his career the perfect ending, but it did not write the story. That story had already been written through years of sustained brilliance. Qatar simply allowed the entire world to read the final chapter without any remaining doubts.”
"Yesterday, we stepped out to protest against the worsening level of insecurity in the country. To my greatest surprise, President Tinubu and his supporters had rented a crowd of counter-protesters, the majority of whom were women with children at home."

Those Messi body feints are some of the deadliest dribbles in football history. 😮💨🔥
No fancy skills. Just a shoulder drop, one touch, and the defender is gone.
Messi's close control or Ronaldo's explosive dribbling — who's the deadlier dribbler? 👀
Coupe du Monde.
Match à élimination directe.
L’Argentine joue sa survie.
Messi, 35 ans, tente sa chance de loin face à Ochoa…
Le reste appartient à l’histoire.
