Good Vibes || Culer || Ars longa, vita brevis || Messi is G.O.A.T 🐐

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. Don’t miss this trust me.

I just want to put one final point on Messi’s story: football has never truly been an individual sport—except when it came to him.

Football is a team game. No matter how great you are, you still need the players around you to compete, even if the entire system is built to maximize your strengths.

Yet even with Messi, people kept repeating the same old narrative about Xavi, Iniesta, and Guardiola. The reality is that Messi only spent about four years playing with that historic generation, and even that team looked lost before Guardiola arrived. Messi contributed just as much to their greatness as they did to his.

When that generation left, Barcelona became almost entirely dependent on Messi for two years. Then Luis Enrique arrived, along with Suárez and Neymar, not to carry Messi, but to help share the burden.

After Neymar left, and with Suárez well past his best, Messi was once again carrying Barcelona almost entirely by himself, surrounded by average players. He was one game away from another historic treble, and once again, he was the team’s standout player.

Many people forget that in 2014, after Messi became La Liga’s all-time leading scorer with a hat-trick against Sevilla, Barcelona fans were handed flyers asking: “What if you woke up tomorrow and Messi was no longer at Barcelona?” Even then, some people still couldn’t bring themselves to give him the credit he deserved.

Messi even wanted to leave in 2020, and the situation nearly ended up in court. But he stayed because he didn’t want to fight the club he loved. In the end, he was still forced out in one of the saddest exits in football history.

Argentina was no different.

For years, Messi carried one of the worst-run national teams in modern football. In 2010, Maradona played Germany with four attackers because he believed more forwards meant more goals. Argentina lost 4–0.

Yet Messi was the one blamed.

He was called a failure, a choker, and a coward by people who ignored the reality that, without him, Argentina might not even have qualified for the 2014 World Cup. Every Copa América final they reached was because Messi got them there in the first place.

The difference was enormous: with Messi, Argentina reached finals; without him, they struggled even against much weaker opponents.

The 2022 World Cup wasn’t just about a great team—it was also about Messi bringing confidence, leadership, and belief to a group of players who followed him. He carried the responsibility while everyone else played their role.

Even in the latest World Cup, at 39 years old, Messi was covering huge areas of the pitch, playing 120 minutes repeatedly, and constantly finding new ways to win games almost by himself.

Most people will never care about these details or this context. Future generations will only look at trophies and short tournaments.

In the end, every argument people used against Messi eventually disappeared. They said he had no World Cup—he won it. They said he had no Copa América—he won it too.

To me, Messi is the most unfairly judged player in football history. No player has been blamed for more things beyond his control or had more false narratives attached to his name.

That’s Messi’s story—through logic, reality, and everything he had to endure.

@Footballtweet This is a terrible advice from a seasoned ex international.
Nicky Butt will criticize any other professional who does same.
It's the England call for a World Cup game, it matter less what minute he had or not, the team is bigger than the player.

@pst_iren I don't know any better way it could've been aptly put, the comparison is a façade.
It's an illusion... When a lie is told over time you begin to believe it, that's what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo fans.

[Apostle Emmanuel Iren @pst_iren]

“Posterity will judge our generation for entertaining the faux comparison between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as though it were a genuine rivalry.”

[Qórlar @KolapoJones]

Argentina will die for Messi, so unstoppable.

What a bad night for Ronaldo fans 😂😂#ENGARG

@FabrizioRomano The chemistry between Cubarsi and Laporte is quite noticeable.... Barcelona should absolutely try to sign him to pair the youngster.

[Qórlar @KolapoJones]

@RafaelH117 I expect a lot of biased sentimental arguments on how Argentina is being favored by FIFA because of Messi.

Illusions they fly with.

get a haircut every 2 weeks to stay sharp, wait 5 secs before answering the phone to control the rhythm, always arrive 15 mins early, stay away from free lunches, never talk about people who aren't in the room and when anger rises, wait 10 mins before reacting. these habits may look rigid but they're the hidden discipline of the elite.

Did you know that when Bowen University was founded, a huge number of muslim students were sponsored by one rich Iwo indigene to buy the University's Entrance Forms, and after they secured their admission, they began to agitate for a mosque on campus and hijab for female students, etc
When they were turned down, they began to hold prayers on the school field in defiance
When the school authority protested, they started a riot.
I have never seen Christians going into muslim schools or companies or institutions and demanding that rules must be changed for them
They knew it was a Baptist University, they knew it was a Christian institution, and yet they did all that.
The Inaugural Vice-Chancellor of Bowen University, Professor J. T. Okedara, had to retire early because of the trouble these students gave him
It took the intervention of the Nigeria Baptist Convention and a change of Vice-Chancellor for these students to be rusticated and for peace to be restored.

I was reading the news about International School, Ibadan, and I can see the same spirit of disruption and troublemaking at work.

I have never seen bandits wearing cassocks, carrying Bibles and shouting Hallelujah as they behead people

It is a paradox that people practising a religion can be fomenting trouble without provocation all over the world and still claim that they are a religion of peace.

Indeed, there is a spirit at work in every human being based on the faith they embrace.

@GbengaWemimo These words indeed summarizes it all
"Indeed, there is a spirit at work in every human being based on the faith they embrace."

@iam_mezuo @elvis_osawe @omaakatugba Definitely not, but who starts in goal... Nwabali, why keep Okoye on the bench when he could secure his spot at the club and be relevant.
Same for Tolu Arokodare, he won't start and Akor is ahead of him.
Players like Fago is fair.

Some unscrupulous elements in Nigeria just collude with Chinese etc & secretly digging Nigeria soil to stupor and the government is quiet. From illegal Lithium mining to limestone etc They even recommended Chinese language as a study in our schools.
