Very cringe but we’re selling Messi short by merely defining him as the best footballer ever, he belongs in a similar pantheon as Beethoven Picasso, Tesla, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, the guy is a genius an extraterrestrial
He included the darkest heartbreaks because ironically, that’s exactly what made the World Cup win carry the weight of 10.
It’s not just that he won the World Cup. Lamine Yamal’s World Cup, for example, isnt memorable, because there’s no substance behind it. It was never just about flexing the World Cup.
I was there when Peckerman denied Messi his chance to save his country just because of his age
I was there to see the same people that kiss his feet now, spit on his name and burn his jersey 10 years ago.
I was there when everyone’s 1% hope finally hit 0 when he lost to France in 2018
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg
You start digging into Messi’s World Cup just a little and instead you get to know that man’s entire life.
And that cringy quote about a dying star burning its brightest in its final moments was proven true in the summer of 26.
Messi’s story with the Argentina national team is the greatest sport story ever told
This theory would hold but purchasing power and real incomes have deteriorated severely since 2023 which tells me this is just a weak attempt at gaslighting. There’s really no need for this.
Nah, you’re an idiot. A proper one. Followed your story, thought you had proper solid evidences to go all out like that. Look at what you’ve turned yourself to.
Ruben Amorim said this when he first took over at Man United in 2024 👀:
🗣️ "We have two ways. Forget the new idea; try to cope with the way we used to do things, and next year we'll be here with the same problems.
Or we start now; we risk a little bit, we suffer a little bit, and in the next year we will be better."
