He cried after beating Cape Verde
He cried after beating Egypt
He cried after beating England
But But, until Rodri won player of the tournament, this is someone that has won TWO player of the tournament. Two.
Stop embarsssing yourself
You win the World Cup. You collect Golden Balls. You reach three finals. And still, they line you up against a player whose entire World Cup highlight reel is “I’m back! I’m back!” against Uzbekistan.
I hate that Messi does not talk. That is why I am glad for Yamal. Let them dare compare him to some World Cup nobody, they will hear and learn.
FIFA robbed Messi of the Golden Ball. Anyone who watched this World Cup knows that. And they didn’t have to do that.
Twelve of Argentina’s nineteen goals ran through him, eight scored, four created. That’s before you look at the goals where he didn’t get the assist but fashioned the goal.
He won more MOTM awards. Had better rating on average. If they wanted the Golden Ball to go to a player in the winning team, they should make it a clear rule.
He dragged Argentina back from the dead against Egypt, then England, and carried them to a final at 39. Rodri had an excellent tournament in the best team in the world. Messi was Argentina’s entire run. He got cheated out of this one. Won’t matter much amidst his glittering legacy, but I hope it doesn’t happen to another deserving player in the future.
Sometimes I wonder if these guys live in another world. I mean, this Ronaldo fan boys. Like the person you support is a total failure in the World Cup, so I would have expected you to hide your face in shame, but no😂😂😂, just look at the person your banting.

Clowning a World Cup winner and 3 time finalist for not lifting another World Cup while stanning someone that doesn’t know what a World Cup final feels like is too funny 😂
• You ended Argentina’s 28-year trophy drought.
• You won four consecutive trophies, including the World Cup.
• You gave hope back to a nation that had almost forgotten what it felt like to dream.
You have nothing left to prove, Leo. You’ve completed football and inspired generations to fall in love with the beautiful game, just as you did. ❤️🐐
