@chacofunesjr Yo no sé para qué Ozzie va a tercera. No era necesario, en todo caso, ya estaba en posición de anotar en segunda base. Asumió que Baldwin llegaría a home a tiempo.
@CarlaEUrenaA@CocaCola@INEGI_INFORMA@LMXLM Buscan a Luis Miguel porque es la figura más importante de México. Usted no dimensiona lo que representa este señor. Ustedes los mexicanos tiene al mejor cantante pop que hay. Más respeto para el número uno Y @CocaCola te aplaudo de pie.
@Lionelismo10 Buen análisis. Coincido en que es probable que continúe en la selección hasta la Copa América, aunque es su decisión. Un sueño sería que se retire después de la temporada 2030, después del mundial, solo Dios sabe en qué estado de forma, conociéndolo, una muy decente.
@haakhtemaaz@ch_erem@manueljr1000 I think you watch what you want to watch, in that order of ideas, nothing is going to convince you. Messi is the center of his team because he makes himself the center of team. That is exactly the reason why he is the player that makes the most difference in a collective sport.
@haakhtemaaz@ch_erem@manueljr1000 How old are you? I could argue Messi has assisted in every world cup he's played in, that is part of longevity. You are fighting against the reality if you want to say that CR7 is a better player. If you like him more, fine, but your arguments are very questionable.
@DavidKidman@falcs51@Braves These fans are more than crazy, my God. You love the guy one day and hate him the next one. Go try to catch that last ball yourself.
The contradictions in the way some people discuss football history are astonishing.
Take Pelé, for example. Everyone proudly says he won three World Cups, and rightly so. Yet no one brings up the fact that he missed the 1962 World Cup final through injury. Nobody tries to take that title away from him because the logic is simple: he was part of Brazil’s triumph, so the trophy belongs to him.
But when it comes to Messi, the rules suddenly change. Some claim Barcelona’s 2006 Champions League doesn’t count because he missed the final. The issue isn’t Pelé or Messi—it’s changing the criteria depending on the player.
The same applies to Maradona. He is one of the greatest players ever and led Argentina to World Cup glory, becoming a national hero. But he never won the Champions League or the Copa América, while Messi won the Copa América twice, won the Finalissima, the World Cup, and maintained an elite level for over two decades. That doesn’t diminish Maradona—it simply shows how complete Messi’s career has become.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s case is another contradiction. For years, the World Cup was the ultimate argument used against Messi. The moment Messi won it, many suddenly reduced it to “just seven games.” If the World Cup was the biggest measure before 2022, why did it stop being one after Messi lifted the trophy?
Then comes the excuse that Portugal has “no World Cup history.” But history isn’t inherited—it is created. Spain had never won a World Cup until the generation of Xavi and Iniesta changed that. Argentina’s greatest football legacy was built by players like Kempes and Maradona. The greatest players don’t wait for history—they write it.
Messi didn’t become the greatest because he won the World Cup. By 2022, he already had multiple Ballon d’Ors, four Champions League titles, countless individual records, and was the all-time top scorer and assist provider for both Barcelona and Argentina. The World Cup wasn’t what made his legacy—it was simply the final missing piece.
Pelé has achievements Cristiano doesn’t. Cristiano has achievements Pelé doesn’t.
Messi is the only one who combines the strongest arguments from both sides.
That’s why diminishing Messi’s career has become so difficult. Every criticism seems to require changing the rules, moving the goalposts, or creating new standards that only apply to him.
That’s not a weakness in Messi’s legacy.
It’s a weakness in the argument against it. 🐐❤️🇦🇷
@barca1899stats I heard the interview in Spanish, and Paredes says "I thought he had made the decision that the WC final was going to be his last one with the team". He never said "Leo" or "Messi", in any case, he also says he hopes Messi plays for more time.
Paredes is not confirming anything
@OutMessi_ Yo sé que se habla de que no parece de 39, pero voy más allá y me atrevo a decir a que me acuerda un poco al del 2019, no tan explosivo como 2015 o 2011, pero super quirúrgico, y con destellos cuando los tiene que dar.
