I lost my kid brother.

He was the only Barca and Messi fan in a house of 10.
Every time Messi plays and does something magical, I still see the light in his face. Shirtless, beating his chest, screaming like he scored himself 😂

The world is cruel. But I carry him with me.
This one’s for you bro. Always. 🐐💙❤️

We will never see a player like Messi ever again.

The four current Barcelona captains:

First captain: Marc-André ter Stegen — The club wants to get rid of him by any means possible, but he keeps refusing because of his huge salary.

Second captain: Ronald Araújo — The club also wants to move him on, but he has decided to stay even if he doesn’t play a single minute, again because of the salary.

Third captain: Frenkie de Jong — He played through painkiller injections at the World Cup despite knowing his injury would worsen and could cost him a large part of Barcelona’s upcoming season, then got knocked out in the Round of 32.

Fourth captain: Raphinha Dias — He injured his hamstring before the crucial period when Barcelona needed him most, then got injured again at the World Cup.

Four captains to be proud of, truly. What leadership. 💙❤️👏

I hired a private investigator because I was convinced my husband was having an affair.

Three days later, the investigator called me crying.

"Ma'am... your husband isn't the person you should be worried about."

Cape Verde defender, Roberto Lopes debunked the fake quotes and revealed what Messi actually said to him at the halftime of the game

if you’re so sure the World Cup is scripted and rigged for Argentina to win, why don’t you stake your life savings on sportybet?

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

After Argentina’s shocking defeat to Saudi Arabia—a result that stunned the entire world—fear and anxiety spread across the Argentine fanbase.

Just hours later, Lionel Messi came out with the statement that would become iconic:

“I ask the fans to trust us. This group will not let you down.”

Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo was asked about the World Cup and said:

“I lack nothing in life. Winning the World Cup won’t make me a better Cristiano, and not winning it won’t make me a lesser Cristiano.”

Imagine that. Instead of using the moment to lift his teammates and reassure the fans, he chose to talk about himself and his own legacy.

And then people wonder why reports keep surfacing that many Portugal players don’t get along with him.

They laughed at you and said Messi didn’t have the personality to be a captain.

Time revealed who the real leader was—the one who put the team before himself.

In the end, time has a way of exposing narratives that people spent years trying to sell as the truth.

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read.

Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

What happened next?

Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse.

Then Messi went on to win the World Cup.

This time, the excuses changed again.

They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say.

Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable:

“A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.”

At first glance, it sounds reasonable.

But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved.

Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s.

Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title.

Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said:

“The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.”

A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled.

Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano.

By your own standards:

* You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8.
* You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles.
* You never won the World Cup.
* You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker.

So what now?

Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it?

If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend.

Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends.

The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place.

That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho.

Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it.

What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait.

Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance.

Good bye. Ronaldo.

The day I got promoted, my boss called me into his office.

I expected congratulations.

Instead, he handed me an envelope and said:
"Read this when you get home."

I didn't understand why.

Dear @iamnasboi,

My name is Akorede. I’m a scriptwriter.

Two days ago, you tweeted about speaking on what people do, and I quoted it with mine. You responded and asked me to send a DM, mentioning that you had followed me back.

I was genuinely excited as you’re one of my favorite creators and artists, and your versatility is something many of us upcoming creatives admire.

I tried sending the DM but realized there may have been a mix-up, as I wasn’t able to reach you. I attempted to follow up, but it still didn’t go through; hence this post.

I can't say I've been active on social media. In fact, for the past few months, I've been avoiding it. But I can't stay away from it because I have something to offer; my ideas, my skill, and my voice as a writer.

I rarely bring my creator and artist stanship online, but I can say you're a source of inspiration to me. I truly appreciate you taking notice, and I hope you might revisit what you saw in my quote that made you respond in the first place.

Thank you for all you do.

Akorede.
