Every time I see this video of Andrew Garfield taking to Elmo about grief, I start crying.
“I’m just thinking about my mom today. She passed away not too long ago. It’s actually kind of okay to miss somebody. Sadness is kind of a gift, a lovely thing to feel in a way because it means you really loved somebody when you miss them."
A terrifying fact you should know:
Imagine a parallel world where 39-year-old Maradona was the best player at the 1998 World Cup and led Argentina to the final.
Where 39-year-old Zidane was the best player at the 2010 World Cup and led France to the final.
Where 39-year-old Ronaldo Nazário was the best player at the 2014 World Cup and led Brazil to the final.
Where 39-year-old Ronaldinho was the best player at the 2018 World Cup and led Brazil to the final.
Sounds absurd, right?
Yet that’s exactly what Lionel Messi did at the 2026 World Cup.
Messi’s longevity is something football may never witness again and to maintain that level at 39 years old is simply unprecedented. 🐐
🚨🤯 NEW: Guillermo Ochoa declined to join Rafa Marquez’s Mexican National Team coaching staff.
Instead, Memo hopes his greatest contribution will be creating a system that helps future generations find opportunities they never had. ❤️
The legendary goalkeeper is collaborating with FIFA on a data system that’ll help identify and track new young talents, making them more visible to clubs and scouts.
He is also helping talented children gain access to scholarships, ensuring that financial barriers don’t prevent promising players from pursuing their dreams. 👏🏼✍🏼
Ufffff… tiró muchísimos interrogantes que no vamos a tener respuesta jamás.
Lo que sí digo y espero que lo hagamos… dejemos que los yanquis sigan infiltrándose en el fútbol porque vamos a terminar con un deporte de poronga.
Basta FIFA. Hasta acá.
After 2022, none of us imagined we’d even be here. We all thought Messi wouldn’t play in 2026. At 39, he reached a level no athlete has ever reached at that age. He owed us nothing, yet gave us everything.
You’ll always be the greatest, Leo.
The world is at peace because it’s Rodri.
Rodri won the World Cup Golden Ball without a single goal or assist, and nobody seems to have a problem with it. If it had been Messi with those exact same stats—even if Argentina had won the World Cup—the entire internet would have been on fire. People would be screaming “robbery,” saying Mbappé deserved it, claiming FIFA was protecting Messi, and pushing the usual “FIFA’s favorite” narrative.
Now? Complete silence.
The double standards are unbelievable. Bloody hypocrites.

The countdown to crowning the next world champion, between Spain and Argentina, is officially on.

Novak Djokovic 🎾🗣️: “Leo, how did you learn to deal with pressure and keep fighting under it?”
🚨 Lionel Messi 🐐🗣️: “We started playing football with great passion and a constant desire to enjoy the game, whether at school, in the street, or with neighborhood teams. We never thought about pressure; we simply played to enjoy ourselves and compete.
From a young age, I understood that you lose more than you win. I believe that realization helped me mature, both as a person and as a player.” 🥹🐐
No matter what happens on Sunday, Lionel Messi has already given us more than we ever dreamed of. Enjoy every second we have left with him. One day, we'll wish we could watch him just one more time. 🥹🐐
messi has been one of the few constants in my life. twice a week i got to watch him and it felt like whatever was going on in the world didn’t matter for those 2 hours
2026 at 39 years old and he still gives me the same feeling. i’m weeping man
