Wallahi, I’ve never gone this hard on Messi in my life. I like him as a footballer and I enjoy watching him play. My dislike for Argentina has always been mostly collective, and partly because I didn’t want a second Messi World Cup.
But my recent dragging of him? That was mostly because of his fans. Interact with them and you’ll see how deeply they hate CR7 — constantly downplaying his greatness and rubbishing his contributions to the sport we all love.
Just like CR7, I felt little to no pain when Portugal exited the WC. But yesterday? One of the best days I’ve had all year. Every picture and video of Messi crying brought me immense joy. Slept like a baby.
