My mom has played the Powerball with the exact same numbers every week for as long as I can remember.

And every time she and my dad get into one of their little arguments, she always says the same thing:

“If I ever hit the jackpot, the first thing I’m doing is filing for divorce.”

Then she’ll laugh and walk away.

My dad never argues.

Never gets offended.

He just smiles like he’s heard it a thousand times before.

I always wondered why.

Today, I finally found out.

Mom was in the kitchen talking, and Dad quietly waved me over.

He reached into his wallet and pulled out a lottery ticket.

Same numbers.

@Judster76 @DynastyZoltanFF I think the dumbest has to be illegal formation. I don’t understand that stupid rule

After Ronaldo won EURO 2016 while Messi was still without a senior international trophy, a common argument across football media, punditry and mainstream football discourse was that international trophies were not essential to determining individual greatness. Football was said to be a team sport, and a player’s legacy should not be reduced to what he won with his national team.

At the time, Messi had lost four major international finals with Argentina and had even retired from international football after the 2016 Copa América final defeat to Chile.

A few months later, Messi returned. What followed was an unusually busy Copa América schedule. The tournament was played in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2021, four editions in just six years. Many observers could not help but notice that a player who had repeatedly fallen short was being given more opportunities to win in a short period and rightly so. Eventually, Messi won the 2021 Copa América.

For years, the football world had been told that international trophies were not necessary to be considered the greatest of all time. When Messi lacked an international trophy, the importance of international success was routinely downplayed.

Similarly, when Messi lacked a World Cup, it was not considered essential to being the GOAT. Once he won it in Qatar, however, the World Cup was elevated from being one achievement among many to the achievement that supposedly settled the GOAT debate forever.

To many Ronaldo supporters, this is the clearest example of shifting goalposts in football history. The standards appeared to change at every stage until they aligned perfectly with Messi’s résumé. What was once irrelevant became important. What was important became essential. And once Messi achieved it, the debate was declared over.

In Qatar, Argentina received five penalties during the tournament, a World Cup record for a single team in one edition. Several refereeing decisions involving Argentina remain debated to this day, including Messi’s handball incident against the Netherlands that some believe warranted a second yellow card.

For many critics, these were not isolated incidents but part of a wider pattern they believe has followed Messi throughout his career, where controversial decisions repeatedly seem to fall in his favour. They point to numerous moments over the years where they believe punishments that would have been applied to other players were overlooked when Messi was involved. Some supporters have even argued that similar concerns resurfaced only recently, after another incident in which they believe Messi was fortunate to avoid a red card.

Whether one agrees with that view or not, it has become a significant reason why many Ronaldo supporters remain sceptical of the narrative surrounding Messi’s achievements and the way they are discussed by the football establishment and mainstream media.

For many Ronaldo supporters, the issue has never simply been about preferring one player over another. It is about what they perceive as inconsistent standards. They see achievements weighed differently depending on who accomplished them. They see one player protected from scrutiny while the other is subjected to it at every turn.

That is why many continue to side with Ronaldo. Not because to many he is the greatest to ever kick a ball or he has won every trophy or because he is beyond criticism, but because they believe the standards applied to him have often been harsher than those applied to his greatest rival.

They would rather support a player who loses with his honour intact than celebrate victories they believe are surrounded by unanswered questions.

As José Mourinho once said: “If I have to win in that way, I would be ashamed.”

For them, the issue is not simply who won. It is whether the criteria for greatness remained consistent throughout the debate. In their view, they did not.

@swan2swan87 @Just_Harlequin @RhockoHarrison I wouldn’t say he kept a mental clock, more like he felt his power returning

[emily may @emilykmay]

Exactly how I felt watching this movie… I can’t even afford to be mad anymore

[The Real Rodney Lacroix @RealRodLacroix]

Watched “If I Had Legs I Would Kick You.”

You know how sometimes a movie has great reviews so you start watching it and you think “Okay this is terrible” but again it has great reviews and an Oscar nod so you think “I will stick with it to see if it gets better” but it doesn’t get better it somehow gets worse and worse but now there’s only 28 minutes left and you are completely invested so you figure they will clean everything up in the end and explain everything so you understand what this movie was actually about but then it just ends and you’re like WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?

That is this movie.

Arsena has Kepa in goal and none of these Chelsea players are shooting from outside. That’s why it’s good to know your history #CARABAO

[Codedgorgon @mrkorry_]

@xfrenzymod @ChadJack1 @kimmoFC @x__div @footycorner_tv Yes he did. He literally chopped the ball that way. He had primary possession of the ball

[Codedgorgon @mrkorry_]

@xfrenzymod @ChadJack1 @kimmoFC @x__div @footycorner_tv KDB never had possession of the ball here

Saying good gestures are the ‘barest minimum’ is to eradicate the actions of ‘gratitude’. It’s not a good trait.

@nancy_nkan93169 @dxpeohxx @CFCDaily That wolves player should not have scored their second goal from that angle. Horrific goalkeeping

Men are simple creatures — they’ll tell you what they want, show you what they like, and mean exactly what they say. The confusion usually starts when you try to read between lines that don’t exist.
