@babyfolio The only reason I downloaded Substack and Discord was to follow you. I've been subscribed for a year—let's look forward to what happens next. Keep it up!😂
My account has been looking terrible lately, but no matter how I look at it, the recent declines have been completely irrational - this is absolutely an excellent entry point. If only I had more cash on hand; I would definitely buy in big right now. You know what I mean - it's better to enter at the right time than too early.
I don’t think there is any sportsman in the history of sports that became so great that people had to start creating conspiracy theories because they simply couldn’t question his actual sporting ability.
Soak the greatness in. We won’t ever see this again.
@Flickxball Paredes' pass got deflected by a defender and changed direction, otherwise from another angle you'd see that Messi could have just shot. So he swiftly hooked the ball back with his golden left foot - it was absolutely incredible.
@babyfolio $BFLY It seems like it got a bit overheated last night. I'm not sure if that's a good opportunity for asymmetry. Obviously the cycle will be very long, but AI applications are clearly what people should ultimately be focused on.
What fascinates me more than the hat-trick is one question I’d love to ask Messi: How did you make them love you this much? Messi has reached a level with his teammates that even Maradona never truly achieved throughout his career.
The man in front of you is the same player who, after Argentina reached the 2014 World Cup final, had Mascherano walk up to him and say: “I’m tired of seeing you suffer. Today, we’re playing only for your happiness.” When the media criticized Messi, Agüero said they used to ask themselves just one question: “How can we get the ball to him in the best possible position to prove he’s the best?”
Then came Copa América 2021, when Di María said: “I was ready to break my leg if it meant Messi could win an international trophy.” Less than a year later, the level of devotion had somehow gone even higher. De Paul said: “I could go to war for him without even knowing the reason.” Emiliano Martínez went even further: “I’d be willing to die for Messi on the pitch.”
Now we’ve reached 2026. Do you think anything has changed? If anything, it’s become even stronger. Álvarez and Lautaro received chances they could have finished themselves, yet they waited for Messi and squared the ball to him so he could complete his hat-trick.
This Argentina team moves as one, beats as one, and rallies behind one name:
Messi. 🐐🇦🇷
