Argentina were abysmal today. No attacking intent, needless roughhousing, and the inevitable red card summed up a night where nothing seemed to go right.
I feel terrible for Messi, because he deserved a better ending after dragging this team to yet another final.
Football can be cruel sometimes. But this tournament was a journey of incredible highs and painful lows, and Leo gave us yet another reminder of why he is truly one of a kind.
Gracias por todo, campeรณn. ๐ฆ๐ท๐
Not the result we hoped for, but Spain were tactically exceptional, and against a defense as disciplined and organized as theirs, it was always going to take something extraordinary
Major cheat code for life: Build a boring baseline. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Move your body. Eat simple foods. Save money. Read good books. Avoid drama. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. The inputs may not look impressive, but the results certainly do.
Divide Messi's career into two halves: 2005โ2015 and 2016โ2026. Either one, in isolation, is enough to make him the greatest player the game has ever seen.
Every time you think the story is over, Lionel Messi writes another chapter.
Every time you think youโve seen it all, he gives you another night like this.
Gracias Leo ๐ฆ๐ท ๐
