As great as Rodri has been, not giving the Golden Ball to a THIRTY-NINE year old with 12 G/A who singlehandedly dragged a woeful Argentina side to the final is a joke.
Esta toma es clara donde el #20 de Croacia no toca el balรณn, no cambia la direcciรณn del balรณn, quien SI lo toca es #13 de Portugal por lo que no habรญa offside โฆ.

In 2007, Lionel Messi was on the podium for the best player in the world. Those he stood with are either retired or being begged to let it go.
In 2026, he is the best performing player at the World Cup at the age of 39.
Two decades of dominance, winning the Ballon d'or almost every other year in that run. There will never be another player this good for this long. Ever.
Iโm from that generation of football fans that used to argue with absolute retards who said Messi needed Xavi and Iniesta to perform at the highest level.
Those were the days. Those were the days. ๐
Legacy of the Servant Leader: H.E. Umaru Musa YarโAdua, 16 Years On
Today marks 16 years since our nation lost a dear hero, an icon of integrity, a selfless patriot, and a man I was privileged to call not just my boss, but my brother and worthy partner in service.
As I reflect on the passing of President Umaru Musa YarโAdua, I am reminded of the shared passion we both held for a Nigeria where justice is not a slogan, but a lived reality for every citizen.
Our partnership was anchored on a common vision: to build an inclusive, united, and just nation. YarโAdua was a man of quiet but profound conviction who believed that the strength of a country is measured by its commitment to the rule of law and the sanctity of the ballot.
He did not just lead; he served with a humility that is rare in the corridors of power, often putting national stability above personal or political gain.
His record in peace-building stands as an enduring legacy. He understood that true nation-building requires the courage to admit flaws and the sincerity to fix them.
For leaders, the life of Umaru Musa YarโAdua serves as an enduring lesson. His example teaches us that leadership is a sacred trust, and that progress is only sustainable when it is rooted in transparency, accountability, and a genuine love for the people.
Sixteen years later, his strides continue to testify for him. As we remember this "Gentleman President," let us rededicate ourselves to the worthy causes he pursued with such passion.
I pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) continues to grant him eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus.
