People are talking about messi's legacy being damaged but every professional player and manager has been clowning ronaldo.
He has become a joke rightfully so.
🚨 Rodri: “I'd like to remind you one person who has been criticized unfairly many times and he's veru special to me. Let's chant at once... FERRAN! FERRAN! FERRAN!” 🇪🇸🦈
Honestly 2022 is what we asked for and Messi delivered
2026 is when none of us had any expectations and Messi exceeded those expectations and made us believe. Leo Messi from the bottom of my heart thankyou for this ❤️
the whole "rigged for Argentina" online discourse is a great case study on how the general population is frighteningly easy to manipulate with simple propaganda. and how it's especially effective on the less educated, or "casuals"/"larpers"
@TJ_Huss32 You're always trying to discredit Messi. Maybe he knew England couldn't keep that pace up for 90 minutes and waited for his moment, like he's done for 20+ years. Keep 99% of players including CR7 quiet for 70 minutes and most won't deliver for the rest 20. Messi always does.
🏴 Joe Cole: "Messi’s first time playing against England? Well, we’re going to put him to sleep. We’re going to put him to sleep. Yeah, 100%
🏴 Troy Deeney: "I think we’ll BATTER Argentina. We’ll win at least 2–0, comfortably.
🏴 John Terry: “Argentina DOESN'T worry me. I don’t look at Argentina and think they’re better than us. Player for player, we’re BETTER than Argentina."
🏴 Ian Wright: "I think we will BEAT Argentina. The way they play and how narrow they are. I think we are going to block them and break them”
🏴 Gary Neville: "With the centre backs they have, I can't see us not scoring at least 2 goals. We're faster, quicker, we've got a BETTER squad."
Messi’s haters were desperate for this World Cup to arrive so they can fault him / mock him since in 2022 he won the whole thing. Now that he’s also performing again (8 goals!!) at 39 and winning all the games they had to resort to lies and manipulation to make him look bad.
