Messi’s World Cup narrative needs a serious reality check.
— 6 World Cups played… and still never faced Brazil, Spain, England, Uruguay, Portugal, or Italy.
— Against actual elite nations, he’s only faced Germany (3x), the Netherlands (2x), France (1x) and lost every single one.
— 2010 FIFA World Cup, he scored 0 goals.
— 2014 FIFA World Cup, he scored 4 goals, all in the group stage vs Bosnia, Nigeria, and Iran.
— 2018 FIFA World Cup, he scored once… against Nigeria again.
— 2022 FIFA World Cup, he scored 7 goals, with 4 penalties.
When you strip away the PR, penalties, and stat-padding against weak opposition, Messi’s World Cup career might be the most protected legacy football has ever seen.
After Ronaldo won the Euros and Messi lost the Copa America he announced Retirement from Argentina
"Its been four finals,and I wasn't able to win,it's clear that this isnt for me"
Fifa would've lost revenue so they promised him trophies if he returned
