After Ronaldo won EURO 2016 while Messi was still without a senior international trophy, a common argument across football media, punditry and mainstream football discourse was that international trophies were not essential to determining individual greatness. Football was said to be a team sport, and a player’s legacy should not be reduced to what he won with his national team.

At the time, Messi had lost four major international finals with Argentina and had even retired from international football after the 2016 Copa América final defeat to Chile.

A few months later, Messi returned. What followed was an unusually busy Copa América schedule. The tournament was played in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2021, four editions in just six years. Many observers could not help but notice that a player who had repeatedly fallen short was being given more opportunities to win in a short period and rightly so. Eventually, Messi won the 2021 Copa América.

For years, the football world had been told that international trophies were not necessary to be considered the greatest of all time. When Messi lacked an international trophy, the importance of international success was routinely downplayed.

Similarly, when Messi lacked a World Cup, it was not considered essential to being the GOAT. Once he won it in Qatar, however, the World Cup was elevated from being one achievement among many to the achievement that supposedly settled the GOAT debate forever.

To many Ronaldo supporters, this is the clearest example of shifting goalposts in football history. The standards appeared to change at every stage until they aligned perfectly with Messi’s résumé. What was once irrelevant became important. What was important became essential. And once Messi achieved it, the debate was declared over.

In Qatar, Argentina received five penalties during the tournament, a World Cup record for a single team in one edition. Several refereeing decisions involving Argentina remain debated to this day, including Messi’s handball incident against the Netherlands that some believe warranted a second yellow card.

For many critics, these were not isolated incidents but part of a wider pattern they believe has followed Messi throughout his career, where controversial decisions repeatedly seem to fall in his favour. They point to numerous moments over the years where they believe punishments that would have been applied to other players were overlooked when Messi was involved. Some supporters have even argued that similar concerns resurfaced only recently, after another incident in which they believe Messi was fortunate to avoid a red card.

Whether one agrees with that view or not, it has become a significant reason why many Ronaldo supporters remain sceptical of the narrative surrounding Messi’s achievements and the way they are discussed by the football establishment and mainstream media.

For many Ronaldo supporters, the issue has never simply been about preferring one player over another. It is about what they perceive as inconsistent standards. They see achievements weighed differently depending on who accomplished them. They see one player protected from scrutiny while the other is subjected to it at every turn.

That is why many continue to side with Ronaldo. Not because to many he is the greatest to ever kick a ball or he has won every trophy or because he is beyond criticism, but because they believe the standards applied to him have often been harsher than those applied to his greatest rival.

They would rather support a player who loses with his honour intact than celebrate victories they believe are surrounded by unanswered questions.

As José Mourinho once said: “If I have to win in that way, I would be ashamed.”

For them, the issue is not simply who won. It is whether the criteria for greatness remained consistent throughout the debate. In their view, they did not.

TRIBUTE TO THE LEGEND THE RT. HON. RAILA AMOLO ODINGA:
Fellow Kenyans, history teaches us that the birthplace of Democracy is the Greek City of
Athens. In their Democratic traditions the Athenians did not leave us without a guide on what to do when a Great Statesman dies. An adequate example is given when Pericles, one of the finest democrats history has known rose to give his funeral oration in honour of the Athenian soldiers who had perished defending their City State in 431BC.
In contrast to the rigid character of the Spartans who defended status quo through the power of the bullet, Pericles painted the superior cultures of the Athenian Democratic Warriors who stood in the face of threats to their lives and defended their country, their culture and their people including with their last breath.
Fellow Kenyans every time I have checked these history books, they have read like the life of Raila Amolo Odinga was written long before he was born.
The Luo People have called him AGWAMBO meaning MYSTERY, a word that attempts to
capture the unique nature of his courage, intelligence and foresight.
While still a youth he was condemned to a detention without trial, denied even the simple basic right to a fair trial. Through a decade in dark solitary cells Raila’s spirit did not break down. He would emerge from those Maximum-Security Prisons in 1991 to join his voice with those of his fellow patriots to assault the infamous Section 2A and usher in the first Multiparty elections of our country.
Raila Odinga then chose to build political institutions (NDP all through to ODM) to help
mobilise and channel the progressive voices of the oppressed Kenyans to push for constant reforms that ultimately gave us a New Constitution entrenched with a right that cannot be limited under any circumstances (even in war or peace or under a state of emergency), the RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL having been among the many Kenyans who were arrested, abducted, tortured and some killed in the struggle for a better country.
I stand here today, alongside the Millennials and GenZs and all other Kenyans of all walks, rich and poor, from the lake region, the mountain regions, the coastal, the Nyika Plateaus and all other places to pay tribute to a man who risked his life to carry our own aspirations at moments when we could not speak for ourselves under the fear of the terror of the bullet.
The question we ask today as young people in this country is what lessons might we have picked from Raila’s life’s body of work?
Do we see Kenya from the lenses of The Right Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga?
Do we see a Kenya in which power is obtained through the ballot and not the bullet as he wanted?
Do we see a Kenya in which power is maintained through consent and not coercion?
Do we see Kenya as an exclusive members-only club where a few powerful and influential
individuals plunder all state resources while our fellow citizens stand helpless burdened by the weight of poverty, ignorance, disease and bad governance?
This is how Raila Amolo Odinga asks us to see Kenya in his personal autobiography, RAILA ODINGA: THE FLAME OF FREEDOM:He says in the last page of his book:
“Those who lead the Kenyan way must remain passionately and tirelessly committed
and always resolute, for we know it is only when we arrive at our destination that the
African Dream will finally be realised”
He concludes by telling us,
“The road might be difficult, and obstacles might at times seem insurmountable, but
until we reach that time, and find that place, the flame of freedom will never be
extinguished”.
Fellow Citizens, in the grand aspirations of the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, a personal friend, mentor, father and a legend to Babu Owino and the many Kenyans who have thronged the streets of our country to mourn his death, BABA, TINGA, AGWAMBO, The Flame of Freedom will never be extinguished.
Nothing, not even the deadly crocodiles, will stop us from reaching Caanan.
We will miss him deeply.

Markets just had a fear flush. VIX spiked 30%+, S&P dropped ~3%.
I’m waiting for peak panic (VIX 30+) before scaling in.
Plan: 50% VOO for stability, 50% split across NVDA, AMD, PLTR for upside. Limit orders
Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.
