Messi carries the team as much as the team carries him...

FIFA did not rig the game for him - He rigged the game for FIFA - by enchanting every true football fan to fall in love with game anew.

This is one of the differences between Messi and Ronaldo.

Be the judge.

Zlatan Ibrahimović: 🗣️🚨💣

“Today, more than ever, I’m convinced that the campaign after the Argentina vs. Egypt game wasn’t against Argentina—it was aimed specifically at Messi.

“Today we saw a clear handball in the build-up to Mbappé’s goal against Bono. The goal should have been disallowed, yet it stood and completely changed the course of the game. Still, we didn’t see the same outrage or the usual accusations.

“Where are the people who kept claiming Messi had FIFA’s full support and that everything was rigged in his favor? They’ve completely disappeared. Why? Because Messi wasn’t on the pitch.

“For them, it was never about refereeing or fairness—it was always about Messi. Their problem has always been Messi, not Argentina or any other national team.

“Cristiano Ronaldo’s fans are extremely emotional and simply don’t like Messi.”

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.

Number of penalties awarded in the last three World Cups:

🇫🇷 France — 8 penalties
🇦���� Argentina — 8 penalties

Did anyone complain about France? Of course not. Did anyone call Mbappé “FIFA’s boy”? Of course not.

Even though he’s only 27 while Messi is 39, if he keeps going at this rate, he could eventually surpass 20 World Cup penalties.

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read.

Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

What happened next?

Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse.

Then Messi went on to win the World Cup.

This time, the excuses changed again.

They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say.

Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable:

“A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.”

At first glance, it sounds reasonable.

But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved.

Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s.

Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title.

Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said:

“The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.”

A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled.

Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano.

By your own standards:

* You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8.
* You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles.
* You never won the World Cup.
* You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker.

So what now?

Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it?

If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend.

Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends.

The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place.

That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho.

Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it.

What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait.

Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance.

Good bye. Ronaldo.
