Dear Messi, Thanks for giving us a childhood, a million highlights, and endless debates. Football was simply better because you were in it. Forever the GOAT. đđŚđˇ
He won titles with Barcelona â âcomfort zone.â
He won Ligue 1 â âFarmers League.â
He won MLS â ârigged and scripted.â
He won the World Cup â ârigged and scripted.â
He won the Copa AmĂŠrica â âthey organize it every year just so he can win.â
He won 8 Ballon dâOrs â ârobbed.â
He won 6 European Golden Boots â âirrelevant.â
He has the most assists in football history â âassists donât matter.â
He dribbles past opponents â âthey donât tackle him properly.â
He scores free kicks â âtheyâre too close, and the goalkeepers just let them in.â
Other big national teams failed to beat small teams so could play against his team â âItâs his fault and FIFAâs.â
Heâs humble â âitâs all an act.â
No matter what Lionel Messi achieves, the goalposts keep moving. Meanwhile he is just there chilling and enjoying his football. đ
At what point do you simply accept that youâre witnessing the greatest footballer the game has ever seen?
Arenât you all tired?
Messi going RW is literally his Super Saiyan . His Bankai, gear 5 and Domain expansion. He can only use it for a few minutes, but sure as hell gonna be the best on the pitch in those few moments. https://t.co/zexxecFmbX
đ¨đŁď¸New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:
âPeople are shocked that VinĂcius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.
Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.
For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.
And FIFAâs idea is to shove a microphone in the playerâs face and ask, âHow do you feel?â
How do you think he feels? Heâs exhausted.
This is modern footballâs biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasnât even finished and theyâre already trying to manufacture headlines.
They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. Thatâs where games are won. Thatâs where tactics change. Thatâs where injuries get treated. Thatâs where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.
And donât tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.
VinĂcius understood that. He chose football over public relations.
The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, Iâd pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.
If FIFA really had their way, theyâd put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.
Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.
For once, a player pushed back. And thatâs exactly why so many people are angry.â
Except all women when you stood by Thomas Partey.
Except the Muslim community when you sacked Ăzil for speaking out about their international injustice.
Except the people of Palestine as you continue to be the face of Zionistic sports washing
