Una de las mejores presentaciones en la historia de los videojuegos y no sólo de los de fútbol: sonaba "Song 2" de Blur y así se veía la intro de FIFA 98 Road to World Cup. Si bien no fue la canción oficial del Mundial, muchos la asocian directamente con Francia 98. Qué maravilla
Me llamó mucho la atención este tweet que decía que estadísticamente es prácticamente imposible que vivas para ver a alguien como Messi 🇦🇷. Así que decidí comprobarlo con datos. Agarré a 52 de los mejores goleadores del mundo y medí goles + asistencias por 90 minutos. 🧵
Me crucé con esto, Messi está casi 6 desviaciones estándar por encima de la media de delanteros de grandes ligas en cuanto a goles y asistencias en 90 minutos. Estadísticamente es prácticamente imposible que vivas para ver a alguien así
“NOS REGALARON A MOZART Y A LA SALCHICHA DE VIENA. COMO MUESTRA DE AGRADECIMIENTO NOS LOS VAMOS A COMER EN UN PANCHO”.
JAJAJA, el spot de TyC para el Argentina-Austria.
Sensacional. 😅🚬
🚨🎙️ 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?”
Ufff, este video de Lionel Scaloni CONTENIENDO EL LLANTO DE EMOCIÓN después de abrazarlo a Lionel Messi al salir reemplazado.
“TE QUIERO MUCHO”, le dijo al capitán.
Qué hermoso momento. 🥹🇦🇷
🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi’s World Cup hat-trick masterclass as Argentina beat Algeria 3-0:
🗣️ “Let me tell you something… this is what happens when the greatest of all time plays football.”
“Messi didn’t just have a good opening game… he arrived at the World Cup like he still owns the damn thing.”
“People talk about age, about the end of an era, about pressure at 38 going on 39… but he doesn’t feel any of that. He creates pressure for every defender in the tournament instead.”
“Algeria tried to sit deep, they tried to frustrate, they tried to compete… but when Messi gets the ball anywhere near the box, the game is basically over.”
“A hat-trick on the opening night of the World Cup? That’s not normal… that’s a statement. That’s a warning to every team left in this tournament.”
“And this is why Argentina won so comfortably — because when you have a player like him, you don’t need ten chances. You need one moment of magic… and he gave them three.”
“Now people will start talking again… ‘Is he still the best player in the world?’ I don’t talk. I show. And tonight, Messi showed everyone.”
“This was not just three points for Argentina… this was a message to the entire World Cup. The king is still here.”
