🗣️ “It was surely Messi's last World Cup match. He'll be 35 by the next World Cup in Qatar.”
That was said 8 years ago. 😳
Since then, he's won the World Cup, and now, at 39, has already scored five goals in just two matches at another World Cup. 🤯
O Monte Everest parece gigantesco… até ser comparado ao Monte Olimpo, em Marte.
Com 8.849 metros de altitude, o Everest é o ponto mais alto da Terra. Já o Monte Olimpo, o maior vulcão conhecido do Sistema Solar, alcança impressionantes 21.900 metros de altura, cerca de 2,5 vezes mais alto.
Mas o que realmente surpreende não é apenas sua altura. O Monte Olimpo possui aproximadamente 600 quilômetros de diâmetro, uma extensão tão colossal que, se você estivesse em sua base, dificilmente conseguiria enxergar o topo devido à curvatura do próprio horizonte marciano.
Essa diferença existe porque Marte tem uma gravidade muito menor que a da Terra e não possui placas tectônicas ativas. Isso permitiu que o vulcão crescesse continuamente durante milhões de anos, sem ser deslocado sobre pontos quentes, como acontece em nosso planeta.
O Monte Olimpo é um lembrete impressionante de que, quando olhamos para o Sistema Solar, a realidade muitas vezes supera a imaginação.

Lionel Messi on the 100-year-old fan holding the “100 YEAR OLD MESSI FAN” banner:
🗣️ “When I saw her in the stands… I honestly had to hold myself together. In that moment, football disappeared for me. It wasn’t a stadium anymore, it wasn’t noise, it wasn’t pressure it was just emotion.”
“Someone who has lived a whole century of life… through wars, through generations, through everything the world has endured… and she is still here, smiling, holding my name in her hands. I don’t even know how to explain what that feels like.”
“It made me think about everything my first steps in football, the dreams I had as a child, the sacrifices my family made… and somehow, through all those years, my name reached someone like her. It’s overwhelming.”
“I don’t deserve something like that. No player does. Because this goes beyond football. This is love from a lifetime, not just a moment.”
“I looked at her and I just wanted to stop time for a second… to say thank you properly. Not as a footballer, but as a human being who understands how rare it is to be loved like that for so long.”
“There are goals that make noise, trophies that make headlines, but this… this was something completely different. Pure, unconditional connection between two lives that were never meant to meet, but somehow did through football.”
“If I could give her anything, it wouldn’t be a shirt or a photo. It would be time. Because the fact she spent part of her life supporting me… I will carry that forever.”
“When I retire, I will remember nights like this more than anything else. Because at the end of everything, football is not about records… it is about hearts that connect without even speaking.”
“And in that moment, I realized something very simple… I am not just playing for trophies. I am playing for people like her.”
🅾️🅾️ Wayne Rooney: On Lionel Messi performance against Austria:
“I’ll say this now, what we’re witnessing right now is just completely mental. I’ve played at the absolute highest level, I know what the physical toll of this game is, and Messi scoring twice today to break the all-time World Cup goal record? It’s just insane.
How are we all sitting here acting like this is normal? The man is 39 years old. At 39, most lads are sitting on a beach, or struggling to get out of bed for a Sunday league kickabout, let alone dominating the biggest tournament on Earth. It defies logic.
He’s out there gliding past players, reading the game three steps ahead of everyone else, and finishing like he’s still in his mid-twenties.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: anyone who still doubts Lionel Messi as the greatest to ever play the game simply is not mentally OK. It’s that simple.
There’s no footballing argument left to have. Even if your brain has been completely disconnected, your eyes alone just sitting there watching what he is doing on that pitch should tell you absolutely everything you need to know. You don't need a tactical breakdown. You just need to look at the screen. To do what he’s done throughout his career was incredible, but to reach the pinnacle of the World Cup record books at 39?
We will never, ever see anything like this again. We just need to stop trying to analyze it and appreciate that we're looking at the absolute best to ever lace up a pair of boots”
Neymar was in America 🇺🇸 and they challenged him to Score from one rooftop of a building to the next building
Only 3 attempts.
If he makes it, they agree football is better than basketball 😂
When you realize the intro of the famous song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple is the intro of Beethoven's 5th Symphony simply played backward.
Mind-blowing.
