🚨🇦🇷 Lionel Messi was asked which country he dreams of facing in his final FIFA World Cup after scoring a stunning brace in Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Austria:
🎙️ Reporter: “Leo, after your brilliant performance today, if you could choose one country to face before the end of your World Cup journey, who would it be?”
🗣️ Messi: “Portugal. Without a doubt, Portugal.
Not because it would be easy, actually the opposite. They have a fantastic team, world-class players, and they are always competitive. But for me, it would be special for another reason.
I have shared this era with Cristiano Ronaldo for almost two decades. We have pushed each other, competed against each other, and experienced so many incredible moments in football. Yet somehow, we have never faced each other on the biggest stage of all — the World Cup.
I think football fans around the world would love to see it, and honestly, I would too. Not because of the rivalry people always talk about, but because of the respect that exists between us after so many years.
When you spend your entire career being compared to one player, you understand the greatness of that player better than most people. Cristiano has had an extraordinary career, and sharing the pitch with him at a World Cup would be something very special.
If this is my last World Cup, then facing Portugal and Cristiano would be a beautiful way to close a chapter. Two players who defined an era, meeting on the biggest football stage in the world. That is something every football lover would remember forever.”
🎙️ Reporter: “So Portugal is your dream opponent?”
🗣️ Messi: “Yes. Portugal. Because some moments are bigger than football, and that would be one of them.”

We originally wanted WoW to have a single player mode.
This guy just made it real.
The 1800 players are "real", his guildmates are "real". Playing and chatting with AI.
I think people don't realize the demand for this. Single player "MMO" games can be huge.
He's using a private server with Ollama plugin built-in., and deepseek is the LLM.
The original vision for WoW was to play online or offline (we were worried that not enough people had modems). We later dropped it because it was too much additional work, and more and more people were coming online anyhow.
But we almost did have single-player WoW...
This will, legitimately, be a video that will go viral again in ten years when people nostalgically look back on the Knicks’ finals run
Mikal Bridges embodied their mindset so well, and had an intensity & dedication in his eyes that only champions have
