Messi haters single-handedly made this tournament ugly when it comes to discourse around it. This amount of moral policing about wanting someone to win a game of football has never been seen before. And it always comes exclusively from people who idolize genuine trash human beings, or football clubs with insanely dirty history.
My favorite sequence from yesterday was when Pedri and someone else decided to play two-touch in the air over the French players lmaooo
Thats the kind of shithousery i watch football for
Rodri
Laporte
Cucurella
Cubarsi
Olmo
I’d say all of these guys have had a better World Cup than Lamine Yamal.
And NO, that doesn’t mean he’s been poor, disappointing, etc. Nope!
Casuals seem to want Spain to be like Messi’s Argentina.
It’s just not. Different identity. 🇪🇸
"Control is dead", "you cannot control games anymore", "midfield doesn't matter" and all the crap that was said after the PSG-Bayern first leg.
False alarms of a new era when the game has always gone in cycles.
Control exists and Spain are showing it how.
You can’t praise Spain’s CBs without praising Rodri.
And you can’t praise Rodri without appreciating the FBs & Fabian.
Which you can’t do without praising Baena’s work OOP.
Which you can’t…
Spanish football, team over stars. 👏🏽😍🇪🇸
