🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on the Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate:

“Every week, every month, every year, somebody asks me the same question.”

🗣️ “‘Zlatan, who is the GOAT? Messi or Ronaldo?’”

🗣️ “Honestly? I get tired of hearing it.”

🗣️ “Not because they aren't great players. They are.”

🗣️ “But because people talk about football as if it is a video game.”

🗣️ “One player scores a goal and suddenly he's the GOAT.”

🗣️ “The other wins a trophy and suddenly the debate is over.”

🗣️ “Football is bigger than that.”

🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes football has ever seen.”

🗣️ “The goals. The mentality. The discipline. The longevity.”

🗣️ “Nobody can take that away from him.”

🗣️ “Over 900 career goals.”

🗣️ “League titles in different countries.”

🗣️ “Champions Leagues.”

🗣️ “Records everywhere.”

🗣️ “Cristiano created a legacy that may never be repeated.”

🗣️ “But then there is Lionel Messi.”

🗣️ “And this is where people get angry with me.”

🗣️ “Because for me, Messi is not normal.”

🗣️ “Cristiano mastered football.”

🗣️ “Messi became football.”

🗣️ “When I watch Messi, I don't see a player following the game.”

🗣️ “I see a player creating the game.”

🗣️ “The goals.”

🗣️ “The assists.”

🗣️ “The dribbling.”

🗣️ “The vision.”

🗣️ “The intelligence.”

🗣️ “The World Cup.”

🗣️ “Everything.”

🗣️ “People ask me how I compare them.”

🗣️ “Sometimes I don't understand the comparison.”

🗣️ “It's like comparing a lion to a shark.”

🗣️ “Both are killers.”

🗣️ “But they hunt differently.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is the greatest goalscorer I have ever seen.”

🗣️ “Messi is the greatest footballer I have ever seen.”

🗣️ “There is a difference.”

🗣️ “One player to represent football itself.”

🗣️ “I choose Messi.”

🗣️ “Every time.”

🗣️ “Because goals can be broken.”

🗣️ “Records can be broken.”

🗣️ “Trophies can be matched.”

🗣️ “But what Messi does with a football?”

🗣️ “That cannot be taught.”

🗣️ “That cannot be trained.”

🗣️ “That is a gift from God.”

🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in history.”

🗣️ “Lionel Messi is history.”

🚨 Arsene Wenger on Lionel Messi's hat-trick and becoming the World Cup's all time leading goalscorer:

🗣“What we witnessed today goes beyond another record. It is the continuation of a career that has consistently redefined the standards of excellence in football.

It wasn't simply a hat-trick,it was the quality of the goals, the intelligence behind every decision, and the efficiency with which Messi influenced the game. Those are the qualities that separate truly exceptional players from the rest.

For many years people have tried to compare Messi with other great footballers, but there comes a point where comparisons lose their meaning. He has built a legacy that stands on its own.

What fascinates me most is his evolution. I genuinely don't know whether the young Messi, with his explosive pace and dribbling, was better than the experienced Messi we see today, who controls every moment of the game with his intelligence and understanding. Very few players improve with age the way he has.

The emotion after his second goal revealed another side of his greatness. It reminded everyone of the difficult journey he has had with Argentina,the disappointments, the criticism, and the perseverance that eventually led to glory. That emotional connection with his country continues to drive him.

To score his first World Cup hat trick while becoming the tournament's all time leading goalscorer is an extraordinary achievement. It is another milestone in a career that already seemed impossible to improve.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect is his longevity. He finished the 2022 World Cup by lifting the trophy after scoring twice in the final, and he has opened the 2026 tournament with a hattrick. At almost 39 years of age, he continues to perform with the same clarity, technical quality, and love for the game that defined him in his twenties.

That is the mark of a truly timeless footballer.”

3 types of business problems:
1) You don't have enough customers
2) You don't keep the customers you have
3) You don't make enough per customer

Figure out which one you're dealing with, put all your resources towards that, and ignore everything/everyone else.

🚨🚨🚨 this video should be intoxicating to anybody under the age of 30. Every parent of someone under the age of 30 must share this video and send it to them in the family group chat immediately. We are living in the era of over-analyzing and lack of patience and disproportionate judgment against oneself. Meanwhile, this generation that’s under 30 years old will live the longest of any generation of all time. I hope this video is a wake up call and a reminder of how many options and opportunities you will and do have. Wanna go party ??! Go , wanna go work your face off ?? Go. The only thing I ask everybody under 30 to not do is to be entitled and blame everyone for whatever adversity you’re dealing with with based on the choices YOU made.

[George Mack @george__mack]

When you’re 5 years old, a year is 20% of your life. And when you’re 50 years old, a year is 2% of your life. This is an explanation given why time speeds up as you age. It's called Janet's law. It states you’ve experienced roughly half of your perceived by life by 20 years old. Or to put it another way: A summer holiday for a 5 year old feels as long as the 10 years from 40 to 50 years old.

But Janet's law can be broken with high agency.

You have agency over the speed time. You're not a passive victim. A better explanation of why time speeds up as you age is because you have fewer new experiences as an adult, so your brain deletes the memories. If you take agency over your life, do new things and create memory dividends, time slows down.

If you live your life on autopilot, you may die at 80, but feel like you died at 20 years old.

If you take agency over your life, you may diet at 80, but feel like you died at 200 years old.

[AllThingsBrazil��� @SelecaoTalk]

It’s not a coincidence many Brazilians are returning to Brazil earlier.

Brazil football is improving massively, players have good chance of playing for national team, clubs like Flamengo are gigantic with huge fanbases, can maintain a big salary + Rio is a better overall lifestyle and close to players family/friends.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don’t like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.

Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won’t be quick and you might feel foolish for a while. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.

A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you'll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.

His thesis?

AI will drive costs toward zero across industries - not just digital goods, but physical products too.

This creates a paradox: as prices plummet, traditional economic models break down.

The implications are staggering. Here's why:
