Allá por 2013 en el primer boom de las redes muchos de Twitter-Barça nos quedábamos hasta las tantas a ver los partidos de Messi con Argentina. Sufrimos la final del 2014. Las copas Americas 15-16-19. Todos le puteban. Nosotros lo defendíamos. Hoy la vida nos paga dividendos.
All the records broken by Lionel Messi today:
Most FIFA World Cup finals goals by a football (soccer) player - 18
Most FIFA World Cup matches played in by an individual - 28
Most matches won by a player at the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 18
Most minutes played in the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 2,489
We are witnessing history.
Compelled to RT this picture every time it pops into my TL, because it's such an insane thing to have happened. If it was in a movie you'd think it was too much.
This video is a World Cup game against Uruguay by the way.
Ronaldo made the Portuguese federation file a complaint to FIFA, to award the goal to him, and that he touched the ball with his head. The complaint didn’t even progress because of a sensor on the ball.
I have never seen anything like this before. Mind you, this goal was awarded to his TEAM MATE, Bruno Fernandes. A team goal.
Now, you want same team mate (s) he wants to carry him, how can they carry him when he’s always trying to take their spotlight if they even get any.
Cristiano tried to claim the goal on the pitch, but didn’t work. After the game, he kept complaining just like you see in this video, it didn’t work. He then made the federation ask for a review from FIFA,they were ready to present video evidence (I wonder what evidence). It still didn’t work.
It was an adidas ball and they had a chip inside, FIFA and Adidas stood on business. This is technology, you did not touch the ball Ronaldo.
Guess why he needed that goal so bad? He wanted to equal Eusebio’s 9-goal record for Portugal in World Cup history. Eusebio scored all 9 goals in one World Cup. Ronaldo is on his 6th World Cup and has 8 goals. So he is chasing that record with everything. That’s not even the point.
My point is that, you don’t demand respect, you earn it. His attitude to always take the spotlight from everyone is what you see today, he would go the extreme even to steal his team mate’s goal just because of PERSONAL AMBITIONS.
His team mate will score, he will be unhappy because it wasn’t him. It just always be him.
Personal ambition has brought Ronaldo to the level he is, but the downside is that, the extremism of it can make your team mates see themselves as less, and you need them, because it’s a team game.
The Argentines are playing for their careers also, but there’s that extra motivation that they’re playing for Messi, it is not far fetched. A team mate like Otamendi even tattooed Messi on his body, De Paul will die for him, he’s Alvarez’ god, Lautaro owes him everything, Romero would never joke with him, Paredes and Enzo will go to battle with him, Dibu calls him a god, MacAllister said Messi told everyone to stop calling him ginger hair and nobody dared. De Paul said he is accessible and humble.
Messi will put his guys own, he will never say he’s the best, he barely even talks, but still they regard him like mad.
That is a leader you’ll go to battle with, not the one that tries to steal your goal.

El Barcelona es el primer equipo en TODA la historia de La Liga que gana 19 de 19 partidos como local en una misma temporada (57 goles a favor y 10 en contra).
Hasta hoy, el mayor pleno de triunfos locales (17 de 17) en el campeonato español estaba en poder del Real Madrid de la temporada 1985-86.
We are devastated to hear about the passing of John Sterling, a WFAN and Yankees radio icon whose voice was synonymous with an entire generation of Yankee fandom.
Rest in peace, John ❤️
Do not use @Expedia for booking cars. Doesn’t matter which car you chose, if the rent-a-car doesn’t have the car you booked, they’ll give you whatever they have and charge you the difference at the site. Absolutely crazy. And their customer service is even worse. Terrible company
