A terrifying fact you should know:

Imagine a parallel world where 39-year-old Maradona was the best player at the 1998 World Cup and led Argentina to the final.

Where 39-year-old Zidane was the best player at the 2010 World Cup and led France to the final.

Where 39-year-old Ronaldo Nazário was the best player at the 2014 World Cup and led Brazil to the final.

Where 39-year-old Ronaldinho was the best player at the 2018 World Cup and led Brazil to the final.

Sounds absurd, right?

Yet that’s exactly what Lionel Messi did at the 2026 World Cup.

Messi’s longevity is something football may never witness again and to maintain that level at 39 years old is simply unprecedented. 🐐

HE’S THE GREATEST YOU WILL EVER SEE, HE’S THE GREATEST EVER TO KICKED FOOTBALL AND HE’S THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME… PUT A LOT OF RESPECT IN HIS NAME LIONEL MESSI 🐐

[Brown @brown_nsik85489]

Defending against Argentina when you score first only ends one way, why these coaches Don’t learn #ENGARG

[Barça Buzz @Barca_Buzz]

For a moment thought it was all over.

Messi, Oh Messi what do we do without you.

[Jatin Sapru @jatinsapru]

Those last twenty minutes…. 🤯
Argentina .. Messi.. Martinez !!
That really was stuff of the stuff of legends.
Disintegrated Egypt entirely … It’s going to be absolutely nuts in the quarters !

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

Leo Messi can't stop crying after Argentina's historic win. 🥲🇦🇷

He's exhausted. He's relieved. He knows just how close they came to crashing out.

But once again, when Argentina needed him most, he delivered.

A true football legend. A true icon.

His dream of becoming a back-to-back World Cup champion is still alive. 🐐🏆

🅾️🅾️ Wayne Rooney: On Lionel Messi performance against Austria:

“I’ll say this now, what we’re witnessing right now is just completely mental. I’ve played at the absolute highest level, I know what the physical toll of this game is, and Messi scoring twice today to break the all-time World Cup goal record? It’s just insane.

How are we all sitting here acting like this is normal? The man is 39 years old. At 39, most lads are sitting on a beach, or struggling to get out of bed for a Sunday league kickabout, let alone dominating the biggest tournament on Earth. It defies logic.

He’s out there gliding past players, reading the game three steps ahead of everyone else, and finishing like he’s still in his mid-twenties.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: anyone who still doubts Lionel Messi as the greatest to ever play the game simply is not mentally OK. It’s that simple.

There’s no footballing argument left to have. Even if your brain has been completely disconnected, your eyes alone just sitting there watching what he is doing on that pitch should tell you absolutely everything you need to know. You don't need a tactical breakdown. You just need to look at the screen. To do what he’s done throughout his career was incredible, but to reach the pinnacle of the World Cup record books at 39?

We will never, ever see anything like this again. We just need to stop trying to analyze it and appreciate that we're looking at the absolute best to ever lace up a pair of boots”

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:

“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.

Not because he's my friend.

Not because of nostalgia.

Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.

I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.

It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.

One step to the left, defenders follow.

One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.

One glance over his shoulder panic.

That's not football.

That's psychological warfare.

And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.

They don't understand what they're watching.

Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.

He's Argentina's system.

He's their confidence.

He's their belief.

He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.

People ask me about the GOAT debate.

What debate?
Seriously.

What debate?

For me, there isn't one.

The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.

When I watch football, I don't see a debate.

I see Messi.

Then I see everybody else.

That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.

It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.

And today was another reminder.

He didn't need a hat-trick.

He didn't need to score from 40 yards.

He just needed to be Lionel Messi.

And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.

That's greatness.

Not when everything depends on you.

When everybody becomes better because you're there.

I've played against great players.

I've played with great players.

But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:

'This isn't normal.'

The scary thing?

Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.

And they still can't stop it.

That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.

Some players become legends.

Some players become icons.

Messi became a category of his own.

And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...

You're asking the wrong question.

The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”

A beautiful capture of the natural setting of the Cherukara railway station as a train rolls in! This was probably a photo taken before the electrification began - in the jurisdiction of @DRMPalghat in @GMSRailway! Pic courtesy, Akhil Sanjeev!

Cherukara railway station, located in Malappuram district, Kerala, on the scenic Nilambur-Shoranur line, is renowned for its charming, vintage aesthetic set amidst dense, lush greenery. Known as a "green" station, it features, ancient banyan trees with hanging roots, and a peaceful atmosphere that offers a tranquil, old-world experience.

The station is surrounded by verdant vegetation, creating a, canopy-like effect over the tracks and platform. It evokes a nostalgic, "bygone era" feel, often described as one of the most charming and unique small stations in South India.

Unlike many urban stations, Cherukara is deeply integrated with its, natural surroundings, with trees right alongside the station. The station is a highlight of the Nilambur-Shoranur railway line, which is known for its scenic beauty in. It is popular on social media for its beautiful, green environment, making it a favourite for photography. #Kerala #IndianRailways #photography @parvathimenon @PiyuNair @KeralaTourism

💔 A Black Day for the Medical Fraternity
and entire nation 🥺🥺🥺

A devastating plane crash has struck the heart of BJ Medical College, crashing directly into the Doctor Hostel. The lives of numerous bright, young medical students—our future healers—have been tragically lost, along with the passengers onboard, including former CM of Gujarat, Shri Vijay Rupani.

BJ Medical College is not just Gujarat’s pride but a beacon of excellence for the entire nation. The scale of this loss is beyond numbers—this is a deep wound to the medical community and to our country’s future.

My deepest condolences to the grieving families, to the parents who sent their children to serve humanity, and to everyone who has lost a loved one in this horrifying tragedy.
May the departed souls rest in peace. And may the ones left behind find strength in this darkest of hours.
