Pep Guardiola on Lionel Messiās masterclass against England.
š£ļø āPeople keep asking me how Messi is still doing this at 39 years old. My answer is simple because football has never seen anyone like him. Age defeats everyone, but somehow it refuses to defeat Lionel Messi. What he did tonight was beyond football⦠it was art.ā
āEngland didnāt play against an old player. They played against the greatest mind this sport has ever produced. Two assists in a World Cup semi-final, controlling the rhythm of the biggest match on earth as if he were playing in his backyard. That is not normal. It is impossible to teach.ā
āIāve stood on the touchline and watched Leo do things that left me speechless. Tonight, sitting at home, he made me feel exactly the same. Every touch had purpose. Every pass carried danger. Every decision was perfect. He didnāt run the most but he made everyone else run for him.ā
āThe frightening part is that he no longer needs his young legs. His football brain is ten seconds ahead of everyone else. By the time defenders realise what is happening, the ball is already in the back of the net or a teammate is celebrating. Thatās genius. Pure genius.ā
āPeople obsess over goals, but tonight Messi reminded the world that football is about creating moments no one else can imagine. Two assists that changed a nationās history. Two passes that carried Argentina into another World Cup final. That is the definition of greatness.ā
āAt 39, most legends are sitting in television studios talking about football. Messi is still writing football history. He isnāt surviving at this level heās dominating it. Thatās why I will always say there has never been, and there will never be, another player like Lionel Messi.ā
āWhen this World Cup is over, donāt just remember the trophies or the statistics. Remember that you witnessed a 39-year-old genius walk into a World Cup semi-final against one of the strongest teams in the world⦠and make them look ordinary. We are watching the final chapters of the greatest football story ever written.ā

I am not alarmed about the rising talent migration from India. Here is why.
First, historic patterns. Talent migration from Korea/Taiwan to the US peaked in the 1970s and 80s (Japanese migration to the US peaked much earlier), talent migration from China peaked about 10 years ago. That was the time of rapid development and transformation of those nations.
When a country is extremely underdeveloped, talent migration is very low. When a country is very wealthy, talent migration is also very low. Talent migration peaks during the period of rapid development.
This is observable in silicon valley where migrants from India now well outpace those from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Why does this happen? Rapid economic development is preceded by and happens due to rising aspiration levels; and talent migration also happens due to rising aspiration levels. Our aspirations necessarily race ahead of reality and it is precisely during the period of rapid growth that we have the most restless people, and it is the restless spirits who tend to migrate. We can observe that restlessness in India, particularly in urban tech centres.
Eventually when the full economic potential is realised, talent migration slows down or stops entirely. This pattern has been seen repeatedly.
As late as the 1980s, Japanese still refused to believe Japan had achieved parity with the West. Same with Korea in the late 1990s. I predict that even in 2035 with a per capita GDP upwards of $10K, Indians will likely lament how far behind we are. The last stage of catch up happens quickly over a decade (witness China is the last decade) but the foundations have to be laid over many previous decades and those previous decades feel like a slog. We are slogging through that now in India.
To summarise, rising talent migration from India is not a symptom of hopelessness, it is the opposite.

Something changed massively in India's Paralympics preparation. Most of us have missed it.
India got zero medals in 1968, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008. Yes ZERO!
1 in 1972, 4 in 1984, 2 in 2004, 1 in 2012 and 4 in 2016.
But 19 in 2020.
Now 20 in 2024's first six days!!!
