Bellingham, who hasn't won anything this season, will face Mbappé, who also hasn't won anything. They'll face each other on Saturday to win nothing." 😅😂

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

Some people keep asking me who I’ll support in the final, as if I haven’t been reading the posts and watching the videos saying, “Whoever wins, it doesn’t matter. They’re both the same.”

That’s their opinion, not mine.

Argentina and Spain have a beautiful footballing connection, one that Messi himself helped create. I love watching Spain. I love Yamal, Pedri, and all the Barça players representing La Roja. I support them against France, I want them to beat Germany, and I’m always behind them in European competitions.

But on football’s biggest stage, my heart only knows Argentina.

I watched every heartbreak Messi went through with his national team. I watched the 2014 World Cup final defeat to Germany. I watched the back-to-back Copa América final losses to Chile. I watched him retire from international football because he couldn’t handle the endless criticism that he only performed for Barcelona.

I lived through every disappointment, every tear, every moment people mocked him and said he’d never do it with Argentina. Then I witnessed the greatest comeback football has ever seen: Copa América, Finalissima, and finally the World Cup.

How can I not support Argentina after living through all of that?

I’m Algerian, but I support Argentina as if I were Argentine. Messi made me fall in love with this country and with its people, who live and breathe football.

If Spain were to lift the World Cup, it would soften the pain of Argentina losing. If Argentina couldn’t win it, I’d rather see Spain lift the trophy than any other nation.

But it will never be my wish at Argentina’s expense.

With Argentina, always. 🇦🇷❤️

In the middle of celebrating Argentina’s place in the World Cup semifinal, it suddenly hits you that the end is near. That tonight’s game could be Lionel Messi’s last ever at a World Cup.

It’s not about winning or losing anymore. He doesn’t need this trophy to prove anything. It’s about witnessing the final chapter of the greatest football journey we’ve ever seen.

For years, I got so used to seeing Messi in every World Cup that I forgot time catches up with everyone—even him. This is his last World Cup, and perhaps our final chance to see him wearing the Argentina shirt.

One day he’ll retire, leaving behind a question no one will ever truly answer:

Where do we find another Messi?

Who could possibly fill that void? Who will ever give us that same feeling every time they touch the ball?

Enjoy every touch, every pass, every goal.

Because very soon, we’ll be telling our children how lucky we were to witness Lionel Messi.

Lamine Yamal’s post-match interview after Belgium was pure confidence.

He opened with: “We’re not afraid of France. They should be afraid of us.”

Then he added: “There are only two possibilities: either France reaches three consecutive World Cup finals, or we beat them three times in a row.”

And when asked why Spain haven’t played their most beautiful football, his answer was just as cold:

“No team has faced us head-on for 90 minutes. They all sit deep and wait for counterattacks. It’s impossible to play your best football when every opponent stays back.”

He basically cooked Portugal and Belgium without even mentioning them. 😭🔥🇪🇸

🚨 Leo Messi: “I cried because I felt that 𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 because of the penalty I missed… and the way I took it”.

“But thankfully once again, God had something special for me in the end. I’m very happy”.

[𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐊 @TheMahleek]

They’re mocking Messi for missing the same penalty they said he won the last World Cup with

Very confused fanbase 😂😂😂😂

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I swear, comparing Messi to Ronaldo is the biggest lie football has ever been sold, and one of the greatest myths the media convinced people to believe. Today, everything was exposed. The gap between them is so obvious that it doesn't even deserve a debate anymore.

One carries his national team whenever they need him most. The other has spent his entire international career waiting for his teammates to do everything for him.

Don't ever put Messi in the same conversation as a player whose legacy has been built on media hype. The comparison itself is an insult to the greatest footballer in history. Messi stands alone, while everyone else is fighting for second place. The pitch settled this debate a long time ago. 🐐🇦🇷

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

'Messi played for a national team with history and tradition, unlike Cristiano, who wrote his country's history himself.'

That has to be one of the funniest arguments Ronaldo fans keep repeating. Who told you that playing for a national team with a rich legacy and legendary players is an advantage? If anything, it's a huge burden. You're expected to match or surpass everything those legends achieved. That's exactly what happened to Messi. Argentine fans criticized him for years, and even Maradona himself publicly belittled him. Yet despite all that, Messi went on to surpass every legend his country had ever produced—including Maradona.

And since when is modern football measured by history? If it were, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain would still be irrelevant clubs. By the same logic, you could say Messi's Champions League legacy with Barcelona is greater than Cristiano's with Real Madrid because Madrid already had nine European Cups before Ronaldo arrived, while Barcelona had only one before Messi helped them reach five. But that's not how modern football works. What matters is who was better. During Ronaldo's time, Portugal were at least on Argentina's level—if not stronger—except, of course, from the start of the Qatar World Cup, when Portugal's squad was clearly much stronger on paper.

Even in 2014, when Messi dragged an average Argentina side to the World Cup final, Argentina were nowhere near better than Portugal.

The difference was Messi. He's the kind of player who transforms every team he joins. In every tournament he enters, he ends up being the best player and walks away with the individual awards.

Don't even try to use that argument. It's one of the dumbest talking points Ronaldo fans repeat, and it sounds like something only someone who started watching football yesterday would say.

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read.

Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

What happened next?

Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse.

Then Messi went on to win the World Cup.

This time, the excuses changed again.

They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say.

Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable:

“A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.”

At first glance, it sounds reasonable.

But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved.

Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s.

Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title.

Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said:

“The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.”

A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled.

Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano.

By your own standards:

* You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8.
* You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles.
* You never won the World Cup.
* You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker.

So what now?

Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it?

If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend.

Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends.

The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place.

That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho.

Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it.

What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait.

Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance.

Good bye. Ronaldo.

[𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐊 @TheMahleek]

In my life, I’ve never seen where Messi’s team needs to win and they decide to sub Messi off.

There are levels to this GOAT thing 😭😭😭

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

Messi broke the World Cup’s all-time scoring record and never posted about it. You see that nonchalance about these records? That’s what makes them sweeter. The fact he doesn’t even bother acknowledging them. lol.

Happy birthday Leo.

Does De Paul ever let Messi out of his sight?? 😭😭

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

In the history of football, 471 players have won the World Cup.

Of them, only 80 players have won both the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

From this elite group, only 9 players have won the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Ballon d’Or.

Among those, only 2 players have won the World Cup, the Champions League, the Ballon d’Or, and the Golden Boot.

And yet, from all of them, there is only one footballer who has won the World Cup (1), the Champions League (4), the Ballon d’Or (8), the Golden Boot (6), and the World Cup Golden Ball.

Again, Flashscore/Livescore is gradually ruining viewing centres & watch parties.

Celebration before the goal on TV is ruining the anticipation & fun of it.

I don't know why people do this.

You come to a live show & you are checking flashscore? Why not just stay at home?

Congratulations to PSG on winning the UEFA Champions League, and to Luis Enrique on adding another title to his list of achievements.
