Someone needs to tell Ronaldo fans we’re in 2026. Stop posting clips of stepovers from 18 years ago as if that’s proof he could still dribble.😭
You guys should leave 2008 Ronaldo alone and move on🤣

A billionaire wrote a book on "Making it Big," you say you won't read it because he started life in London.
You hear a piece of advice, you dismiss it by saying, "it can only work in America, not here."
Someone told you they got their job without any connections in Nigeria, you say, that was then, that today, you can't get a job without connections.
Then you see someone, today, in Nigeria, get a job, you say but they finished with a First Class.
Then someone with a 2:1 did it, you say, but they are young.
Then another, you say, but they are a lady. People help ladies.
I hope you do know that there is no prize for the person that can come up with the best excuse?
At some point, you will need to look yourself in the mirror and say, "if it is to be, it is up to me."
The day you do that is your morning.
Good morning in advance 🙏
I needed to move a sofa.
I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"
I did not know anybody with a truck.
He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.
"You gotta know somebody with a truck."
I asked how one acquires such a person.
He said, "You just do."
This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.
He said, "Ask Kevin."
I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.
I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.
Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.
I had not asked for a second man.
The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.
They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.
I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.
I asked what I owed them.
Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."
That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.
Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.
We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.
Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."
I still think about that.
Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.
"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."
He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.
Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.
I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.
Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.
I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."
I have a guy.
I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.
He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."
I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

Let’s even talk about this eye test bs.
You’re impressed by body feints & twists, I’m impressed by step overs & chopbacks.
You’re impressed by crossfield passes, I’m impressed by 40 yard shots.
You’re impressed by ball control & first touch, I’m impressed by intelligent positioning & aerial ability.
Why are your parameters more important than mine. Are you mad?
Do not allow Messi fans Gaslight you using"most trophies and individual honors" as a Metric for the GOAT debate 😂
Up until 2025, Dani Alves had the highest number of trophies won, nobody referred to him as the undisputed GOAT of football.
Before Messi and Ronaldo, Michel Platini was the untouchable king with his consecutive Ballon d'Ors. No one referred to him as the GOAT of football because he had most ballon D’or.
It is pure, unadulterated recency bias.
The second Messi statistically catches up, the goalposts magically shift.
The same way they invented Knock out Goals that wasn’t a metric in 2010 World Cup when he had zero knock out goal, the same way International trophy doesn’t matter to be the GoAT but immediately he has one, it suddenly matters.
Let’s never forget how they started using Goal and Assist as a metric since Ronaldo started having more Goals.
No allow them Gaslight you.
Viva Ronaldo.
Siuuuuuu.
