They’ll keep telling you both have 7 goals and that Mbappé is close to breaking Messi’s World Cup scoring records.

But they won’t tell you that:

- Messi is 39 years old and is still competing with a player who’s 27.

- Messi is playing alongside Lautaro and Nicolás González in attack, while Mbappé has Dembélé, Olise, Doué, and Barcola around him.

- Messi is expected to create, dictate the game, provide assists, and score, while Mbappé’s primary role is to finish the chances created by his teammates.

They also won’t tell you that all 7 of Messi’s goals have come from open play, without a single penalty, after years of claiming he relies on penalties.

And of course, they won’t talk about France’s path through the tournament. Instead, they’ll keep saying the draw was rigged in Argentina’s favor, even though Portugal themselves failed to beat Congo.

They’ll do anything to tarnish the reputation and legacy of the greatest player to ever touch a football.

2 - The two outfielders with the highest % of their distance covered by walking at the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup (min. 150 minutes played):

🇦🇷 47% - Lionel Messi (7 goals)
🇫🇷 45% - Kylian Mbappé (7 goals)

Apex.

If they had won, you would have used a photograph of the captain, Harry Souttar. There is absolutely no well-intentioned reason for choosing this guy’s picture other than to make the Black player in a predominantly white team the face of the defeat and subject him to cyberbullying.

Natural selection.

Qataris mocking Germany for getting kick out of the world cup is the funniest thing ever 🤣🤣

[Hebh Jamal @hebh_jamal]

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha

Of course when Germany and Netherlands are kicked out this would be the headline.

Getting eliminated with USA and Ghana in 2014? He gets away with a lot

[Antonio José @ajrmcf_]

A mí me resulta increíble que en un equipo con el mejor lateral izquierdo del mundo, dos centrocampistas que llevan dos años dominando la Champions y el que ha batido el récord histórico de asistencias de la Premier, las críticas se las acabe llevando un tío de 41 años.

Vini is being treated like he started the WW3 just because he started a campaign against racism in Laliga.

Yamal gets booed by the Spanish fans because he said NO to Islamophobic Chants.

But you’ll never see the Spanish people treat Baena and now Ruggeri like that for being horrible humans, I wonder why?

Sports medicine has advanced so much that many professionals can keep playing till their 40s if they wish.

For a ‘genetic powerhouse’ like Messi, it also means there's a greater opportunity to break more records. Ronaldo will probably play till 44, and Messi will probably play till 42. And at good levels.

They still dominate games, they still make the difference. They are still the best players on their team. It's incredible.

These guys haven't only graced this game, they were blessed to bless football. They don't only have talent and skill, they're also incredibly available. They don't miss key moments. There's no grand memory that has been made in their absence. When it matters, they're there.

They'll probably both reach 1000 goals which is just simply outstanding if you ask me. It's mad.

I don’t recall you posting anything about the New York City synagogue secret tunnel incident.

Also, I don’t think anyone in this video was begging to visit Epstein island like you.

Record de passes décisives sur une saison dans l’Histoire : 34 🎯
Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 2011-2012

Michael Olise 🇫🇷 cette saison : 30 🎯

Bon par contre Messi avait marqué 82 buts cette saison là, Michael en est à 27. 😁

Truly terrifying how hostile the media become toward you, the second you express solidarity with Palestine.

امرأة بنغالية تحمل تاجرًا بريطانيًا على ظهرها…
📸 الصورة التُقطت سنة 1903م
في عزّ الاستعمار البريطاني لشبه القارة الهندية.

ليست فقط صورة… بل صفعة في وجه كل من يتغنى بـ"حضارة الغرب"،
فهذا هو الوجه الحقيقي للاستعمار الذي لا يزال يُجمّلونه في كتب التاريخ.

إنها عبودية وإذلال للبشر، وسحق لكرامة الإنسان، فقط لأنه لا ينتمي إلى العرق الأبيض!

ويسألونك عن الإرهاب...
تاريخ الاستعمار الغربي مليء بالمجازر، العبودية، النهب، والتجويع...
لكنهم يختزلون الإرهاب في شعوب مستضعفة تناضل من أجل كرامتها!

🩸 ما فعله الاستعمار البريطاني في الهند، من قتل وتجويع ونهب واحتقار للإنسان، لا تزال آثاره ماثلة إلى اليوم.

ملايين قُتلوا، وثروات سُرقت، وأجيال شُرّدت... تحت راية "التنوير" الكاذب!

🇺🇸🇲🇽 | La FIFA prohíbe a los periodistas preguntar en español a los jugadores de Brasil y Marruecos a pesar de ser la segunda lengua materna más hablada del mundo por encima del inglés.

La FIFA autorizó a preguntar en francés, árabe, portugués e inglés, algo que supuso un problema tanto para los periodistas hispanohablantes como para Vinicius Junior, que habla español pero no inglés.

El capitán marroquí, formado en España, también se mostró sorprendido por esta inexplicable restricción.

La FIFA se ha excusado argumentando que el idioma «puente» escogido era el inglés, pero esto no tiene sentido teniendo en cuenta que tanto los jugadores brasileños, como los marroquíes, tienen mayor facilidad para hablar en español que en inglés.

Algunos críticos con la medida alegaban además que el primer idioma del mundo del fútbol es sin lugar a dudas el español y que por tanto este debería ser el idioma puente escogido para la gran mayoría de encuentros.
