Sir Alex Ferguson on Lionel Messi’s performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

🗣️ “I’ve spent my entire life watching football. I’ve managed against the greatest players, coached some of the best and witnessed generations of talent. But what Lionel Messi is doing at 39 years old is beyond anything I’ve ever seen.”

“Most players at that age are long retired or struggling to keep up with the pace of the modern game. Messi? He’s carrying Argentina to another World Cup final. He isn’t surviving he’s dominating. That’s the difference.”

“People keep asking how he’s still doing it. The answer is simple: his football brain is decades ahead of everyone else. He doesn’t need to outrun you anymore because he’s already seen the next three passes before you’ve taken your first step.”

“Look at this tournament. Every time Argentina needed someone to stand up, Messi answered. When they were under pressure, he demanded the ball. When England thought they had one foot in the final, Messi completely changed the game with two outrageous assists. That’s what greatness looks like.”

“You can organise your defence perfectly, assign two or three players to mark him and spend months analysing every movement he makes. None of it guarantees anything because he only needs one second to destroy ninety minutes of hard work.”

“What amazes me most isn’t the ability it’s the mentality. The bigger the occasion, the calmer he becomes. While everyone else feels the weight of a World Cup, Messi plays as if he was born for these moments. That’s why he keeps breaking hearts and making history.”

“I’ll say something that some people won’t like, but I don’t care. We will never see another footballer like Lionel Messi. When he retires, an era of football retires with him. Players will win Ballons d’Or, score hundreds of goals and lift trophies, but nobody will combine genius, consistency, longevity and humility the way he has.”

“Enjoy every minute he’s still on the pitch, because when Lionel Messi walks away from football, the game will lose a little piece of its soul. There will be great players after him but there will never be another Lionel Messi.

Hakeem weighs in on the Jordan vs. LeBron debate.

[♣️Jokic & MJ♦️GOATs fan @PONTA6565]

Even though LeBron James has played 11 more seasons than Michael Jordan, now in his 24th career year, he still does not match Jordan in the number of championships or other individual awards.

The “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time) debate, which should never have happened in the first place, was already settled 11 years ago.

A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

Scottie Pippen made a valid point.🔥

“My problem is more so with LeBron. If you are the greatest player, if people are saying you are the greatest player, or if people are saying Michael Jordan is the greatest player, why do you need to say it? Michael Jordan has never ever said he’s the greatest player to ever play the game. Why? He’s respected all the other players before him. So, for LeBron to say that, he’s sort of pulling himself out of it because you can’t say you’re the greatest player. You have to allow your peers and the world to say that.”

All of us NBA fans 100% agree with Scottie Pippen's opinion.

I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.

I took this picture of my receipt in my beautiful town Kerrville Texas. I support this and I can see how this could affect our kids by having gaps in work ethic, financial literacy, and community connection.

Dave Ramsey repost:

HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:

* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.

Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.

If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.

Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.

🇳🇴🤯 A remarkable World Cup coincidence: in 1994, Erik Thorstvedt, Alf-Inge Haaland and Gøran Sørloth were part of Norway’s squad at the World Cup in the United States. Thirty-two years later, at the 2026 World Cup in North America, their sons — Kristian Thorstvedt, Erling Haaland and Alexander Sørloth — are representing Norway on the same stage.

Stephen A. Smith admits he can’t wrap his head around “how the hell” the Clintons and Obamas left office worth upwards of $100,000,000 after “serving” the American people.

“Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.”

“Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000.”

“How the hell you depart from office, [together] you worth over $200 million?”

Clintons’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Clintons’ net worth today: ~$120,000,000

Obamas’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Obamas’ net worth today: ~$70,000,000

JD Vance should step in & replace John Thune as Presiding Officer.

It's his Constitutional right, as Vice President.

We could ram through the entire MAGA agenda before midterms, if we just got Thune out of the way.
