🚨🗣️ 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.”

🗣️ “Being second to Messi is not an insult.”

🗣️ “Most players would dream of being second.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is a legend.”

🗣️ “A football icon.”

🗣️ “A player who changed history.”

🗣️ “But if you lock me in a room and force me to choose one player...”

🗣️ “One player for one match.”

🗣️ “One player for my life.”

🗣️ “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.”

🗣 Zlatan Ibrahimovic – "Cristiano was shouting 'I'm back' after scoring against Uzbekistan. That's nice. But against Colombia he played the whole game, had one shot, scored zero goals, and finished with a 0-0 draw."

🗣 "Then I watched Messi. He didn't even start the match against Jordan. He came on after 60 minutes, looked at the free-kick, and did what only geniuses do.
Goal, Match won."

🗣 “Another record broken. Seven consecutive World Cup matches with a goal.That's the difference."

🗣 "Some players tell the world they're back. Messi never left."

🗣 "While others are busy making announcements, Messi is busy making history. At 39 years old, he walks onto the pitch and treats football like it's a training session.Free-kicks, records, trophies, goals — just another day at the office."

🗣 "Greatness doesn't need a microphone.
Greatness wears No.10 for Argentina." 🐐🇦🇷👑🔥

🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović comparing Argentina vs Austria and Portugal vs Uzbekistan:

"First of all, let's stop pretending these are the same situations. Yesterday, Argentina played Austria, a team capable of competing at a high level and causing problems for top nations. It was a tougher challenge, yet Argentina still found a way to win and Messi delivered with two important goals.

Today, Portugal faced Uzbekistan. With all due respect, Uzbekistan is not Austria. The level of difficulty is different. If Ronaldo scores two goals, that's a good performance, but let's not act like the circumstances are identical.

Football is about context. Scoring against stronger opposition will always carry more weight than scoring against a weaker side. That's not disrespect to Ronaldo, it's simply reality.

I respect Cristiano. He's one of the greatest players ever. But if Portugal had faced Austria instead, would the game have been as open? Would the goals have come as easily? Those are the questions football fans should be asking before making comparisons.

Yesterday, Messi faced a harder test and delivered. Today, Ronaldo had a different challenge. Both deserve credit, but football should be judged with context, not just numbers."

🚨🗣️ Arsène Wenger on Lionel Messi becoming the World Cup’s all-time leading goalscorer:

"I have never seen a player like Lionel Messi. He is a different breed, a completely different kind of footballer.

People compare him with Cristiano Ronaldo, and while Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever play the game, Messi is something else entirely. He sees passes before anyone else, creates chances out of nothing and scores goals with an ease that almost looks unfair.

What amazes me the most is that he never forces the game. He doesn't chase headlines or try to prove anything. He simply reads the moment, waits for the right opportunity and destroys opponents with his intelligence.

In all my years as a manager and in all the football I have watched, I have never seen another player who combines vision, creativity, dribbling, goals and playmaking the way Lionel Messi does.

For me, he is one of a kind, and I don't think football will ever produce another player quite like him." 🐐🇦🇷

GUARDIOLA SOBRE EL RÉCORD DE MESSI

"La noticia no es que Leo haya batido otro récord. La noticia es que seguimos sorprendidos. Después de veinte años haciendo cosas extraordinarias, todavía consigue que el mundo del fútbol se detenga y diga: "¿Cómo puede hacerlo otra vez?"

"Convertirse en el máximo goleador de la historia de los Mundiales es algo gigantesco. Estamos hablando de la competición más difícil, la que juzga a los jugadores para siempre. Y aun así Leo ha encontrado la manera de dejar su nombre por encima de todos. Eso habla de talento, pero sobre todo habla de una longevidad y una mentalidad que nunca había visto".

"Cuando la gente analiza a Messi, suele contar goles. Yo creo que ese es el error. Los goles son la consecuencia. Lo verdaderamente único es que durante veinte años ha entendido el juego mejor que nadie. Hoy rompe un récord histórico, pero lo que me impresiona es que sigue viendo el fútbol unos segundos antes que el resto".

"Hay jugadores que marcan una época. Luego están Pelé, Maradona y algunos pocos más que marcan generaciones. Leo ha ido más allá. Ha marcado una era completa del fútbol mundial. Los niños que nacieron cuando él ya era una estrella hoy son adultos y siguen viéndolo romper récords".

"Lo más difícil en el deporte no es llegar. Es mantenerse. Y Leo no se ha mantenido; ha seguido evolucionando. Ha sido el mejor adolescente, el mejor jugador en su plenitud y ahora sigue siendo decisivo cuando muchos otros ya estarían retirados o viviendo de sus recuerdos".

"Este récord en los Mundiales tiene algo especial porque millones de personas entienden lo que significa esa camiseta, esa presión y ese escenario. Y aun así, cuando el partido se vuelve importante, el balón sigue encontrándolo a él".

"Muchas veces me preguntan qué hizo diferente Messi. La respuesta es sencilla: convirtió lo excepcional en rutina. Hoy todos hablan del máximo goleador de la historia de los Mundiales. Dentro de unos días parecerá normal. Y eso es exactamente lo que ha hecho Leo durante toda su carrera: normalizar lo imposible".

"Yo ya no tengo palabras nuevas para describirlo. Cada vez que creo que se acabaron los elogios, él inventa otro récord. Así que simplemente diré: gracias, Leo. Porque los entrenadores, los jugadores y los aficionados sabemos que estamos viendo algo que difícilmente volverá a repetirse".

🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:

“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.

Not because he's my friend.

Not because of nostalgia.

Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.

I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.

It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.

One step to the left, defenders follow.

One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.

One glance over his shoulder panic.

That's not football.

That's psychological warfare.

And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.

They don't understand what they're watching.

Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.

He's Argentina's system.

He's their confidence.

He's their belief.

He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.

People ask me about the GOAT debate.

What debate?
Seriously.

What debate?

For me, there isn't one.

The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.

When I watch football, I don't see a debate.

I see Messi.

Then I see everybody else.

That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.

It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.

And today was another reminder.

He didn't need a hat-trick.

He didn't need to score from 40 yards.

He just needed to be Lionel Messi.

And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.

That's greatness.

Not when everything depends on you.

When everybody becomes better because you're there.

I've played against great players.

I've played with great players.

But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:

'This isn't normal.'

The scary thing?

Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.

And they still can't stop it.

That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.

Some players become legends.

Some players become icons.

Messi became a category of his own.

And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...

You're asking the wrong question.

The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”

@aaronjames619 @HunterBiden Your post is a shame and says anything one needs to know about you!

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
