🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi's hat-trick vs Algeria:

“WAIT. STOP. HOLD ON.”

🗣️ “I thought people told me Messi was finished?”

🗣️ “I thought people told me age had finally caught up with him?”

🗣️ “I thought people told me the new generation had taken over?”

🗣️ “Then Lionel Messi walks into a World Cup match and scores a hat-trick.”

🗣️ “This is exactly why football fans should be careful before writing off great players.”

🗣️ “Because the truly special ones don't disappear.”

🗣️ “They remind you.”

🗣️ “Again.”

🗣️ “And again.”

🗣️ “And again.”

🗣️ “Three goals. One night. One message to the entire football world.”

🗣️ “‘I'm still here.’”

🗣️ “The scary thing isn't the hat-trick.”

🗣️ “The scary thing is how easy he made it look.”

🗣️ “No panic. No rush. Just football intelligence at a level very few players have ever reached.”

🗣️ “At 38 years old, most players are talking about retirement.”

🗣️ “Messi is talking with his feet.”

🗣️ “And trust me, football is listening.”

🗣️ “Now people will ask me about the Ballon d'Or.”

🗣️ “Can he win it?”

🗣️ “Of course he can.”

🗣️ “If Argentina continue winning and Messi continues producing moments like this, why wouldn't he be in the conversation?”

🗣️ “People act as if greatness has an expiration date.”

🗣️ “Messi has spent twenty years proving that it doesn't.”

🗣️ “And let's talk about Argentina.”

🗣️ “The rest of the tournament should be worried.”

🗣️ “Because when Argentina have confidence and Messi is playing like this, they become a completely different animal.”

🗣️ “World Cup?”

🗣️ “Yes, they can win it.”

🗣️ “Ballon d'Or?”

🗣️ “Yes, he can win it.”

🗣️ “GOAT debate?”

🗣️ “For me, there is no debate.”

🗣️ “Every time people think the story is ending, Messi writes another chapter.”

🗣️ “And somehow, the chapters keep getting better.”

🐐🇦🇷🔥🏆

🗣️ “Lionel Messi isn't chasing history anymore.”

🗣️ “History is chasing Lionel Messi.”

[Moha @MohaXtra]

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Lionel Messi crying after scoring for Argentina:

“People are surprised when they see Messi in tears, but I’m not. That’s what happens when football is part of your soul.”

“Some players score goals and celebrate for the cameras. Messi scores and feels the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders.”

“He has won everything there is to win, yet the World Cup still touches him differently. That is because playing for Argentina is not a job to him, it is a responsibility.”

“The tears were not about one goal. They were about sacrifice, expectation, and years of fighting for that badge.”

“When you see that emotion, you understand why he has stayed at the top for so long. Talent can make you great, but love for the game is what keeps you there.”

“That moment reminded everyone that even legends are human.”

Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for seven days. He had less than $2 in his pocket and one shot at turning his life around, a job interview that morning. Then he saw a car flip over and catch fire from his bus window.

He asked the bus driver if he was going to help. "No, but if you get out I'm going to leave," the driver replied. Tucker got out anyway.

He sprinted toward the upside-down, smoke-filled car and found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood.

He unbuckled the man's seatbelt and dragged him clear as the car started to catch fire.

He pulled off his own dress shirt and used it to stop the man's head wound from bleeding, telling him: "You're going to be all right. Your family wants to see you. Keep your eyes open."

The bus left. Tucker missed his interview.

When the story got out, strangers set up a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.

"I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing," Tucker said. "The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."

Guillermo Ochoa fue nominado al Balón de Oro en 2007. Diego Armando Maradona llegó a decir que era uno de los tres mejores porteros del mundo. Ganó tres premios MVP en Copas del Mundo, fue convocado a seis Mundiales, jugó tres de ellos, es el portero con más partidos en la historia de la Selección Mexicana y el arquero con el mejor porcentaje de penales atajados con México.

Pudo haberse quedado en América ganando más dinero y viviendo con mucha más comodidad. En lugar de eso, eligió irse a Europa, empezar de cero y perseguir un sueño que ni siquiera tenía garantizado. Tomó el camino difícil cuando podía haber tomado el fácil.

En una época donde muchos hablan de amor por la camiseta, él lo demostró durante más de veinte años. Nunca puso excusas, nunca tuvo problemas de indisciplina y nunca dejó de dar la cara cuando le tocó estar bajo los reflectores.

Se puede discutir si fue bueno, muy bueno o extraordinario. Se puede debatir si debía jugar o no en ciertos momentos de su carrera. Lo que es difícil discutir es todo lo que sacrificó para llegar hasta donde llegó.

Para mí, es el futbolista mexicano más importante en la historia de los Mundiales. Y hoy se despide entre lágrimas. Porque cuando alguien llora al retirarse, normalmente no está llorando por el dinero ni por la fama. Está llorando porque sabe que acaba de terminar la parte más importante de su vida.

[Motivaciones Fútbol @MotivacionesF]

💔🇨🇻 La emotiva confesión de Vozinha, arquero de Cabo Verde, tras el histórico partido ante España.

“Trabajé toda mi vida para vivir este momento. Muchas generaciones soñaron con algo así y no pudieron lograrlo. Nosotros estamos aquí porque luchamos muchísimo para conseguirlo y merecíamos estar en este Mundial”.

Pero lo más duro llegó después:

“Después del partido lloré. Crecí con mis abuelos y ellos ya no están aquí para verlo. Lo dieron todo por mí. Mi mamá tampoco pudo venir por un problema con la visa; no conseguimos el dinero para completar el trámite a tiempo. Me hubiera encantado que estuviera aquí conmigo”.

🥹 Aun así, Vozinha cerró con orgullo:

“Estoy muy feliz por todo el pueblo de Cabo Verde”.

El fútbol también cuenta historias como esta 🇨🇻⚽️
