@rvcker_fela@seyikanbai You and i know how his brain functions. If someone ever told me that there will be a day you and him will agree on something i would never believe it. It could be anyone but the you i know Naah … But its all good😊
@SmylyThe3rd@shu_peru All the other perspectives i can understand you well but this in particular… the 4/26 produced their best WC performance not euros but the current one has broken the euros but not the WC . Efficiency over volume… That perspective cant be overlooked chairman
@SmylyThe3rd@shu_peru Ok you have a strong point to a greater extent i understand but the part i slightly disagree is a “football nation” being about consistency rather than achievements. I believe the term “football nations” is geared towards more of football achievements than just consistency.
@gyaigyimii Ok agreed they were not a football nation before Ronaldo but under Ronaldo that they are a football nation how is it that they’ve not been able to match the non football nations biggest feat of being 3rd in a WC not to talk of surpassing that feat with more WC qualifiers ?
@SmylyThe3rd@shu_peru Again if back then they(portugal) were nothing and now they are relevant after their various qualification for the world cup during ronnies era what is the explanation for them not outperforming the WC bronze medal that was won back in the 1900’s???
@Footballtweet With the list of finals you quoted Di Maria has only scored 2 goals Copa America 21 (1) and WC 22 (1) just like Messi ‘s 2 goals.
Secondly , Di maria didn’t score nor assist in both the Finalissima and the Copa America 24 so the question of Di Maria in every final is flawed!
🎙️ Jamie Carragher on "Why Lionel Messi Started Receiving Hate at the World Cup"
🗣️: "Forget the noise, because football always tells the truth. The reason Lionel Messi suddenly became the target wasn't because he was poor, it was because he was brilliant.
At 39 years old, most people expected him to fade into the background. Instead, he dominated games, scored decisive goals, created chances, and reminded everyone why he's been at the top for nearly two decades. That's what changed the conversation.
When a player performs at that level on the biggest stage, opinions shift naturally. Some fans accepted that; others couldn't. Rather than appreciating what they were witnessing, the focus became conspiracy theories, officiating debates, and anything that could distract from Messi's football.
The irony is that none of those arguments change what happened on the pitch. Messi let his football do the talking.
Whether Argentina lifted the trophy or not, his performances reinforced what many already believed that greatness isn't decided by social media campaigns or fan wars. It's decided by what you produce when the pressure is highest.
That's why Messi's legacy remains untouchable. The game remembers performances, not propaganda."
🚨🇦🇷 Nicolas Otamendi has announced his retirement from international football.
A true warrior who gave everything for Argentina. His leadership, passion, and unforgettable moments will never be forgotten.
Thank you, General. 🫡💙
