🚨| BREAKING: This footage of Lionel Messi was allegedly hidden by the Argentine FA so people wouldn’t question whether he’s actually an alien.

It’s finally been released. �

The boy from Rosario who changed the game forever.

Apparently making 3 out of 6 World Cup finals and winning 1 of them is more embarrassing than making 0 out of 6 World Cup finals. Strange world we live in

[san @aarifihsan]

This guy is the biggest ronaldo’s dickrider and a Messi hater, even worse than Speed. Messi could win his second World Cup and he would probably still say that Ronaldo’s the goat and Maradona is the best Argentinian. What a joke 🤡

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Is Messi playing?

[A @MessiFeint10]

Hate all you want, but deep inside Ronaldo fans are broken inside witnessing Messi reach new heights while their guy has failed them in 6 world cups. 😭

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, bookmark it and come back later.

Do you know the biggest problem with Cristiano Ronaldo? It isn’t that he never won the World Cup. It’s that he spent years telling everyone what separates legends, only to change the standards once he couldn’t reach them himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo made it clear that winning a major international trophy was what completed a player’s legacy. At the time, Messi had just lost another international final and was going through the toughest period of his career. Those comments only added to the narrative that Messi could never be the greatest because he hadn’t won with Argentina. For years, that became the standard. Messi was called a bottler, while Ronaldo was praised as the player who had proved himself internationally.

Nobody wanted to hear about context. Nobody cared that Messi had dragged Argentina to a World Cup final in 2014 with a squad many considered weaker than the Portugal teams Ronaldo has had over the last decade. The only thing that mattered was that Ronaldo had won a major trophy with his country, and Messi hadn’t.

Then Messi won the Copa América. Suddenly, the goalposts moved. We were told one Euro was worth more than multiple Copa América titles because South America supposedly wasn’t competitive enough. That became the new excuse.

Then Messi won the World Cup. The excuses changed again. It was “fixed.” It was “scripted.” Then came, “A career can’t be defined by seven games.” Funny how nobody was saying that before the tournament, when many believed it would finally be Ronaldo’s chance to win it.

Now Portugal have been eliminated from the World Cup, and Ronaldo posts about Euro 2016 again. That’s what I find ironic. When international trophies favored Ronaldo, they were the ultimate measure of greatness. When Messi caught up, people started ranking competitions differently. When Messi surpassed him by winning the biggest trophy in football, suddenly the World Cup wasn’t supposed to define a career anymore.

That’s the contradiction.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo was never just about goals, assists, or trophies. It’s about consistency. Messi never needed to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements to elevate his own, nor did he ask football to change its standards because they no longer favored him. He simply kept playing until he won everything there was to win.

League titles. Champions Leagues. Ballons d’Or. Golden Boots. Copa América. Finalissima. World Cup. Every major trophy that was ever used against him eventually became part of his legacy.

Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game. But this is exactly why I believe Messi is the greatest. He didn’t ask football to rewrite the standards.

He met every single one of them.

Son: Dad, I just finished watching Messi's full 2022 and 2026 World Cup highlights.

Father: Don't waste your time. FIFA rigged both tournaments for him.

Son: Really? That's what you've been saying for 20 years.

Father: Of course. FIFA wanted him to win.

Son: I'm confused though...

Father: About what?

Son: I saw Messi miss a penalty. Did FIFA tell him to miss it?

Father: Well... no.

Son: Then I watched him dribble through defenders, split defenses with impossible passes, score free-kicks, curl shots into the top corner and create assists that nobody else even saw.
Did FIFA tell him exactly where to pass?

Father: That's... not what I mean.

Son: Did FIFA teach him how to dribble five players? Did FIFA tell defenders to let him glide past them? Did FIFA tell goalkeepers to stand still while he buried free-kicks into the top corner?

Father: Well...

Son: Did FIFA control his first touch? His vision? His balance? His left foot? Did FIFA tell Julian Alvarez, Di Maria, Enzo Fernandez and the rest of Argentina to finish the chances Messi created?

Father: You're missing the point.

Son: I'm actually trying to find the point.
If FIFA rigged it, why did Messi still have to run, create chances, score goals, give assists, beat defenders and perform every single game?
Why didn't FIFA just hand him the trophy before the tournament started?

Father: That's not how rigging works.

Son: Then explain it to me.
Because from what I watched, all I saw was a football genius doing football genius things.
The only explanation I've heard is FIFA rigged it.
But every time I ask how, nobody can explain what FIFA actually did to make Messi play like that.

Father: Son... some things are better left unquestioned.

Son: So after 20 years... the evidence is still just "trust me"?

Son: I get it now.

People can argue over trophies forever.
But nobody can rig vision.
Nobody can rig dribbling.
Nobody can rig genius.

That's why the highlights are still convincing people decades later.

He won titles with Barcelona — “comfort zone.”

He won Ligue 1 — “Farmers League.”

He won MLS — “rigged and scripted.”

He won the World Cup — “rigged and scripted.”

He won the Copa América — “they organize it every year just so he can win.”

He won 8 Ballon d’Ors — “robbed.”

He won 6 European Golden Boots — “irrelevant.”

He has the most assists in football history — “assists don’t matter.”

He dribbles past opponents — “they don’t tackle him properly.”

He scores free kicks — “they’re too close, and the goalkeepers just let them in.”

Other big national teams failed to beat small teams so could play against his team — “It’s his fault and FIFA’s.”

He’s humble — “it’s all an act.”

No matter what Lionel Messi achieves, the goalposts keep moving. Meanwhile he is just there chilling and enjoying his football. 😂

At what point do you simply accept that you’re witnessing the greatest footballer the game has ever seen?

Aren’t you all tired?

[Pablo Molinari @PabloMolinari]

A mis nietos les voy a contar que Messi era tan bueno que mucha gente creía que todo estaba arreglado para que ganara.

[E @Ellis_]

10 minutes ago when Egypt were winning 2-0 it wasn’t rigged, but now suddenly the World Cup is rigged again? Hm, okay man.

[Oma Akatugba @omaakatugba]

He won the World Cup. They said he scored too many penalties. Now he has scored 7 goals without a single penalty . What I love about Messi is that he has a way of confusing idiots .

[Danny @DannyAarons]

If you’re having a bad day just remember that there’s humans amongst us who genuinely think Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi. You’re doing just fine ❤️

As Muslims celebrate the arrival of Ramadan, Gaza’s children welcome it with grief after losing loved ones, amid ongoing Israeli bombardment despite a ceasefire announcement.

3 serangan udara dilancarkan Israel hari ini di Hari pertama Bulan Ramadan

Ia berlaku Jam 11.30 dan 11.45 pagi tadi waktu Malaysia

Ia berlaku di Kejiranan Al Tuffah, Rafah dan Timur Khan Younis

Imagine If Epstein were Muslim, the whole world would blame Islam as a whole but since he was Jewish, they frame it as an individual crime, not a religious issue. That’s Western hypocrisy in plain sight
