Leo Messi dropped historical World Cup at the age of 39, while knowing his father was living his final days.
No one would have blamed him for walking away to be by his father’s side. Instead, for two months, he kept fighting to bring one more joy to us.
It makes what he did even more extraordinary.
Rest in peace, Jorge Messi and all the strength to Messi family ❤️
The hype was all about Yamal, Mbappé, Bellingham, Kane… The Ballon d’Or race. The new stars of football in their prime. Everyone thought this was going to be their World Cup.
Then a 39-year-old guy from Inter Miami showed up and reminded the world that there are levels to this.
That he’s still the absolute best player in the world.
What we witnessed was something truly special.

“TODO ARMADO”
Porque Carroza, el periodista y mejor amigo de Chiqui Tapia, confesó que la AFA sabía que todo estaba armado. Le dijeron a Infantino desde la UEFA que, si le daban la copa a España, lo votarían para su reelección como presidente de la FIFA
This is genuinely mental illness. I’ve never seen anything like this.
They’ve turned a football match into a political crusade. It would be one thing if an Argentina player had actually made a political statement, but none of them did. This entire narrative exists because people chose to believe something that never happened and never existed, fueled by a smear campaign and misinformation.
And on top of all that, he’s wearing an ENGLAND (!!) shirt.
