Mbappé is inevitably going to end up as the World Cup’s all-time top scorer.

But he might have to wait another 4 years, because some old man in Argentina is still refusing to pass the torch

[Messi out of Context @OutMessi_]

Tomense un momento para leer la declaración del DT de Argelia, rendido a los pies de Messi, pero con conceptos que no suelen escucharse.

🗣️ Vladimir Petković:

“Llegamos a este partido con un plan, con disciplina y con convicción... pero a veces el fútbol te pone enfrente a un jugador capaz de destruir la mejor preparación con un solo toque de pelota.”

“Lo que produjo Lionel Messi esta noche no fue solamente una gran actuación; fue una clase de fútbol dictada por una de las mentes y talentos más grandes que haya visto este deporte.”

“Les decís a tus jugadores que se mantengan compactos, concentrados, que no le den espacios... y aun así encuentra la forma de crear magia donde no debería existir.”

“Lo más frustrante es que podés hacer muchas cosas bien en defensa y aun así terminar sufriendo, porque ve pases, movimientos y oportunidades que nadie más en la cancha es capaz de ver.”

“A los 38 años, la mayoría de los futbolistas hablan de retirarse, administrar minutos o bajar el ritmo. Messi sigue definiendo partidos de Mundial, rompiendo récords y haciendo que defensores de élite parezcan impotentes.”

“Miré a mi banco después de su tercer gol y había una sensación de incredulidad en todos. No porque estuviéramos perdiendo, sino porque estábamos presenciando algo especial que quizás no vuelva a repetirse.”

“La gente hablará del hat-trick, de los récords y de las estadísticas, pero lo que más me impresionó fue la autoridad. Controló el partido como si el juego se moviera a la velocidad que él decidía.”

“Me tocó enfrentar a grandes jugadores a lo largo de mi carrera, pero esta noche fue diferente. Esta noche se sintió como si la historia del fútbol se hubiera detenido durante noventa minutos para recordarle al mundo exactamente quién es Lionel Messi.”

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on the Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate:

“Every week, every month, every year, somebody asks me the same question.”

🗣️ “‘Zlatan, who is the GOAT? Messi or Ronaldo?’”

🗣️ “Honestly? I get tired of hearing it.”

🗣️ “Not because they aren't great players. They are.”

🗣️ “But because people talk about football as if it is a video game.”

🗣️ “One player scores a goal and suddenly he's the GOAT.”

🗣️ “The other wins a trophy and suddenly the debate is over.”

🗣️ “Football is bigger than that.”

🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes football has ever seen.”

🗣️ “The goals. The mentality. The discipline. The longevity.”

🗣️ “Nobody can take that away from him.”

🗣️ “Over 900 career goals.”

🗣️ “League titles in different countries.”

🗣️ “Champions Leagues.”

🗣️ “Records everywhere.”

🗣️ “Cristiano created a legacy that may never be repeated.”

🗣️ “But then there is Lionel Messi.”

🗣️ “And this is where people get angry with me.”

🗣️ “Because for me, Messi is not normal.”

🗣️ “Cristiano mastered football.”

🗣️ “Messi became football.”

🗣️ “When I watch Messi, I don't see a player following the game.”

🗣️ “I see a player creating the game.”

🗣️ “The goals.”

🗣️ “The assists.”

🗣️ “The dribbling.”

🗣️ “The vision.”

🗣️ “The intelligence.”

🗣️ “The World Cup.”

🗣️ “Everything.”

🗣️ “People ask me how I compare them.”

🗣️ “Sometimes I don't understand the comparison.”

🗣️ “It's like comparing a lion to a shark.”

🗣️ “Both are killers.”

🗣️ “But they hunt differently.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is the greatest goalscorer I have ever seen.”

🗣️ “Messi is the greatest footballer I have ever seen.”

🗣️ “There is a difference.”

🗣️ “And before Ronaldo fans get angry, listen carefully.”

🗣️ “Being second to Messi is not an insult.”

🗣️ “Most players would dream of being second.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is a legend.”

🗣️ “A football icon.”

🗣️ “A player who changed history.”

🗣️ “But if you lock me in a room and force me to choose one player...”

🗣️ “One player for one match.”

🗣️ “One player for my life.”

🗣️ “One player to represent football itself.”

🗣️ “I choose Messi.”

🗣️ “Every time.”

🗣️ “Because goals can be broken.”

🗣️ “Records can be broken.”

🗣️ “Trophies can be matched.”

🗣️ “But what Messi does with a football?”

🗣️ “That cannot be taught.”

🗣️ “That cannot be trained.”

🗣️ “That is a gift from God.”

🐐🇦🇷⚽

🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in history.”

🗣️ “Lionel Messi is history.”

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

The USMNT has just scored 3 goals against a team that only allowed 6 in WCQ under Alfaro.

Their movement is causing all kinds of problems, making Paraguay look pedestrian. I can't stress enough how impressive they are 45 minutes in. #USMNT
