Just take a minute and let all of this sink in.

How on earth does a 39-year-old step onto a pitch filled with players like Bellingham, Harry Kane, Rice, and some of the biggest stars in the Premier League and Europe… and still come out as the best player on the field?

9 successful dribbles.
Most duels won.
2 assists.

Do you realize how absurd 9 successful dribbles in a World Cup semifinal is? Many players don’t reach that total over 3 or 4 games. Messi did it in 1 game—on the biggest stage.

And he didn’t do it while comfortably leading.

Argentina were 1–0 down against England. Messi created the equalizer, then assisted the winner.

With those 2 assists, he also became the all-time leading assist provider in World Cup history.

Take a moment to truly process all of that.

Only then will you understand the greatness of Lionel Messi.

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

Messi lost the 2007 Copa América final.
He lost the 2014 World Cup final.
He lost the 2015 Copa América final.
He lost the 2016 Copa América final.

Back then, nobody was calling him “FIFA’s favorite.” They mocked him, said he was finished with Argentina, that he only performed for Barcelona because of Xavi and Iniesta.

Then he won the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 World Cup, and the 2024 Copa América.

Suddenly he’s “FIFA’s favorite.”

The hypocrisy is obvious. Losing? He’s a failure. Winning? It’s because he’s protected. The goalposts never stop moving.

People don’t grasp how insane this is

Folarin Balogun on his controversial red card against Bosnia, questioning the referee and VAR:

🗣️ “I cannot accept that decision. I've watched the replay over and over, and I know in my heart there was never any intention to hurt anyone. It was a football action, nothing more. To send me off for that is one of the harshest decisions I've experienced in my career.”

“What's frustrating isn't just the red card it's the inconsistency. Week after week, challenge after challenge, we've all seen similar incidents judged differently. Sometimes VAR says it's football, sometimes it becomes a straight red. How are players supposed to understand the rules when the standard changes every game?”

“The referee had one look. VAR had every angle, slow motion, every replay imaginable, and they still chose the harshest possible outcome. That's the part I cannot understand. Technology was introduced to remove obvious mistakes, not to create even bigger controversies.”

“This decision didn't just punish me. It punished my teammates, my coaches, every supporter wearing a USA shirt and everyone who travelled to support us. One whistle changed an entire World Cup night, and that's something impossible to forget.”

“If football wants players and fans to respect VAR, then VAR has to start respecting football. Consistency isn't optional it's the foundation of fairness. Right now, too many careers, tournaments and dreams are being decided by officials instead of the football itself.”

“I'll accept responsibility when I'm wrong. But I will never stay silent when I believe the game has been let down. Players deserve clarity, supporters deserve honesty, and this tournament deserves officiating that applies the same standard to everyone not different standards depending on the badge you wear.”

Jalen Brunson on LinkedIn:

“Winning an NBA Championship with the New York Knicks is everything I ever dreamed of. The fans, the city, this organization...This is why I came to New York.

I'm so proud of this team. No matter the situation, we never stopped believing in each other or lost sight of our goal.

With enough work and enough belief, your dreams are possible and you can overcome any obstacle. Whatever it is in life, believe that you belong.

People might disagree but let that strengthen your belief because with hard work, preparation, and the right mindset, anything is possible.

I can't wait to celebrate with my family, my teammates, the city of New York, and everyone who's been here from day one.
We don't win this championship without you!

I also look forward to continuing to support other people's dreams through my work with the Second Round Foundation, where our mission is helping young people determine their own success no matter where they come from.

It is important to me to support the under-resourced, under-represented, and under-estimated, and to ensure that they have the tools, guidance, and belief they need to achieve their dreams.

Thank you, New York. I am forever grateful.
And always remember...The Magic is in the Work.

- JB”

Judge knows what two championships in one year would mean to this city

[GO NY GO NY GO 🏆 @NYKFiles]

The Knicks sent all four playoff opponents home for the summer in their own arenas and packed each building like it was MSG

What an absolutely insane championship run

[Mark Jackson’s Burner @casualtakeking]

Jalen Brunson won 7 trophies this season 🤯

• NBA Cup Trophy
• NBA Cup MVP Trophy
• All-Star Shooting Stars Trophy
• ECF Trophy
• ECF MVP Trophy
• Larry O’Brien Trophy
• NBA Finals MVP Trophy

[NBA @NBA]

16 wins. Just 3 losses. 🤯

En route to their championship, the Knicks became just the 3rd team to go 16-3 or better in the Playoffs since 2003 (when the NBA expanded to best-of-seven in all rounds), joining the 2017 Warriors (16-1) and 2024 Celtics (16-3).

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]
