🚨🎙️ Lionel Messi on the Ballon d’Or:
“I’m honestly very grateful to be nominated again. To see so many legends and former players supporting me, wanting me to win and rooting for me means a lot. I don’t take that love for granted.
“But if I’m being completely honest, I feel like I’ve done enough. I’ve won this award, I’ve achieved almost everything I dreamed of in football, and I don’t feel like I have anything left to prove.
“Of course, winning it would always be special, but at this stage of my career, I would actually be happier seeing a new player lift it. There are so many young talents who are doing incredible things and deserve their moment.
“If my name is called, I’ll appreciate it. But if it goes to someone else, I’ll be just as happy. Football is always moving forward, and sometimes it’s good to let the next generation have their moment.”
This is actually EXACTLY what we wanna see. 3-0 at 90 minutes and our boys are expressing themselves how they grew up playing football in South Africa. That’s always been the culture😭 Players and fans are happy. Someone please give me a valid reason why not?😭
There’s already a book out in defense of Hope in Korea, comprising 9 essays from some of the most exciting young voices in Korean film criticism. One of them takes the form of speculative criticism written by a fictional critic living in 2052 looking back at this moment 🤯
Watters: El-Sayed is a compelling, a confident guy, kind of a guy's guy but I don't trust him. You know, I like him. I don't want to like him. I like him
