When Alexander the Great realised the significance and sheer vastness of his dominion, all he had conquered, only then did he allow himself to weep, for there was nothing left for him to conquer, that is Messi’s career with Argentina.
Carried his nation to another World Cup final, knowing that this fathers health was deteriorating, faced with the mass hysteria from an insufferable media, and he still just let his football do the talking, as he always had.
Messi is evidence to live life on your own terms, never a bad word to say about anyone, arrived at the World Cup at 39 and delivered one of the most dominant performances in history all while the media tried to portray him in a negative light. All while his father was very ill.
You knew it wasn’t going to be England’s day when Messi was just frowning and nodding at Bellingham, it’s like a football commandment, don’t provoke Messi.
Messi perhaps not at his best today, but a vital goal and an assist when his country needed him, a hallmark of the best players of all time, even when not at there mercurial best, they are the difference.
@Argentina success was built on the genius of Messi of course and how he was profiled and positioned in the team, having the correct profiles of players around him so when the opportunity arrived Messi could be as decisive and efficient as he can be.
Commiserations to @Cristiano, many things have to align for a team to win the @FIFAWorldCup, tactics, squad selection, keeping the top players in form and fit as well as a touch of luck, and crucially a tactically flexible manger who can manage his players throughout.
Rest assured Messi fans, his place in the history of football was assured years ago, football will remember him as the greatest player of all time and by some distance, enjoy him whilst he’s still playing, because we won’t see anyone like him again. #Messi 🐐
I’m fan of Morgan, clearly a very talented player, really nice guy when I’ve met him as well, have confidence in Hellberg to get the best out of him next season.
