Neymar Jr. on Lionel Messi reportedly being awarded the 2026 FIFA World Cup Golden Ball before the final.

🗣️ “If that’s true, then I’m not surprised at all. Lionel Messi has been the best player in this World Cup from the very first match. The final is important, but what he’s done throughout the tournament has already separated him from everyone else.”

“People always wait until the final whistle to decide greatness, but sometimes a player performs at such an unbelievable level that the debate is already over. Messi has carried Argentina with his leadership, his vision and his ability to decide games when they matter most.”

“At his age, he’s still doing things that younger players can only dream about. Defenders know exactly what’s coming, yet they still can’t stop him. That’s what makes him different from everyone else. Talent fades for most players, but Messi’s football intelligence only gets stronger.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to play alongside him every day. I know how obsessed he is with winning and how much he sacrifices for football. That’s why seeing him recognised with another Golden Ball would make me incredibly happy because nobody deserves it more.”

“Whether Argentina win the final or not, this tournament belongs to Lionel Messi. He’s reminded the world that class is permanent and greatness doesn’t disappear with age. If FIFA have already decided he’s the Golden Ball winner, then they’ve recognised exactly what the whole football world has been watching once again, Messi has been the best player on the biggest stage.”

@Be20608Routine Gutted. The whole project would be ruined now

@CFCDaily @alex_crook @JacobsBen In January the “Decision Makers” at Blue Co. have fucked up the future for
1. Chelsea FC
2. Strasbourg
3. Liam Rosenoir
4. Mamadou sarr
5. Anselmino

Unless there is a change if regime nothing will change. Midtable finish is what they deserve and protests at every game

@GunnerPuls Veron it is easy

@eastbengal_fc Shameful display by the team tonight. Showed small team mentality with those substitutions. And you could build a superteam and still not win anything with Gill and Dimi on two ends of the pitch.

@Be20608Routine This is Garnacho esque behaviour

[Niloy Kar @nilshady]

@BaganXtra @mohunbagansg @aleaguemen @TheAFCCL Namei macha ache. Would have been perfect

[Niloy Kar @nilshady]

@andoniotxo_ Equi definitely is a far better player than Antonio. Would be a like for like replacement for Zubimendi. Might take atmost 6 months to adjust to Europe.

Football Gods need to make this happen 😭🙌

@FDuniyaBangla @chay_eb Body shaming from the anonymity of a page after getting exposed this badly? How salty are you 😆?

@SanghapriyoM Mathe namar age bhogoban banano hok ba na hok he will fail. Yet another season with shambolic signings has started.

[Niloy Kar @nilshady]

The actual result (1-0) for @AVFCOfficial only had a probability of 4.3% and was only the 7th most likely outcome of the match. To put things into perspective, chances of @FCBayernEN winning 1-0 (25%), 2-0(20%) or 3-0 (10%) were all more than twice, their win conditions combined

[Niloy Kar @nilshady]

Based on shot quality determined by simulation of shot data Aston Villa had a win % of 6.7 in the fixture while Bayern had 71.2%. Vincent Kompany coached a win, but this guy was just too good.

After a warm welcome from Roma fans at the airport, Matias Soule has impressed in friendlies, looking like Roma's top player so far. Having excelled on loan at Frosinone last season, he seems to have made the right move. What can he offer to his new team? Let’s explore.

[Niloy Kar @nilshady]

@eurofootcom He is a gem, a diamond in the rough that can shine brighter than most. Here is a thread on him, have a read

Roma has got an exciting prospect at their hands and it is now on De Rossi to unlock his potential and take his game to the next level.

Defence

Soule operates in zone 14 and often cuts passing lanes between CDM and left back to help his team. He also helps out in midfield in recovering loose balls. His defensive ability is decent enough as a playmaker.
