MESSI PASSES MARADONA FOR MOST MEN'S WORLD CUP ASSISTS 🐐

One of the greatest to ever do it 🙏

[Islam Bouafif 🇹🇳🇵🇸 @BouafifNour]

You miss a penalty while your team is losing 1-0, then your team concedes another goal. Everything looks hopeless, your side isn’t even creating anything, at this stage, most players would be mentally out of the game at that point, unable to contribute much.

But this man is not normal. He goes on to assist a goal, score another, and bring his team back into the game.

This is the same player people once questioned for his mentality, yet even at 39 years old, he keeps proving his doubters wrong. The greatest of all time.

Messi immediately broke down into tears at the final whistle. You can see what this comeback meant to him in what might be his final World Cup.

[CHIMAOBI 🐅 @chimaobi_saint]

The hypocrisy is LOUD.

For over a decade, Messi was called an "international flop." Every debate ended with: "Win the World Cup if you want to be the GOAT." That was the benchmark. No excuses. No mercy.

Messi went on to win the Copa América, the Finalissima, and the World Cup. He met every condition his critics set.

Now the same people are saying, "Ronaldo has already done enough for Portugal."

What happened to "Winning the World Cup cements your GOAT status"? Did the rules suddenly change because Messi actually completed football?

You don't get to move the goalposts after one player clears them.

And please, spare me the "the Euros is bigger than the World Cup" takes. If that were true, why wasn't anyone saying it when Messi was being mocked for not winning the World Cup?

Keep the same energy.

If lifting the World Cup was the standard used to judge Messi, then it remains part of the conversation for every other all-time great. Standards don't change just because your favorite player hasn't achieved them.

Spain still haven't conceded a single goal this World Cup 🤯

🚨Thierry Henry on Portugal’s elimination from the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “I’m going to say something that a lot of Portuguese supporters probably don’t want to hear.

This Portugal team has massively underperformed.

Not because they lacked talent, but because too many of their biggest players never reached the level everyone expected.

Bruno Fernandes has been dreadful by his own standards throughout this World Cup. The creativity, the leadership, the decisive moments we’ve seen for years simply weren’t there. Then you look at Vitinha and João Neves—fresh from winning the Champions League with PSG. Two midfielders who dominated Europe. Yet in this tournament, they’ve been almost invisible. Missing in action when Portugal needed control, composure and personality.

And then there is Cristiano Ronaldo.

People will blame him because that’s the easy thing to do.

I won’t.

Because if you decide to start Cristiano, then you have to build situations that suit him. Instead, Portugal kept circulating possession without purpose. They had one of the greatest penalty-box finishers football has ever seen, yet they hardly gave him the service he lives on. That’s not on Ronaldo. That’s on the team around him.

Spain deserve enormous credit.

They played with a clear identity from the first minute until the last. Every player knew his role. Every movement had purpose. Portugal, on the other hand, looked like eleven talented footballers trying to solve the game individually rather than collectively.

That’s why Spain are still in this World Cup.

And that’s why Portugal are going home.

Not because they had worse players…

But because they never played like a better team.”

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

What Messi did by winning the 2022 World Cup with a squad that wasn’t filled with Europe’s elite is the real miracle.

The goalkeeper played for Aston Villa.

The full-backs came from Sevilla and Benfica, while the center-backs played for Tottenham and Benfica.

The midfield was built around Brighton and Benfica players.

And the striker was Manchester City’s backup forward.

That is absolute class. 👏
