Football mourns during international breaks from now on. But what I truly dread is his total retirement from football. Even the ball will refuse to move without it's master that day.
Twitter is lowkey depressing without the reply option. It has been more than 2 weeks and the shadowban still hasn't been lifted, now I have even been shadowbanned from quoting tweets. Great. Just fucking great.
Honestly it pisses me off when I see some Messi fans having debates online with the CR7 cult by going down to their level. You support Lionel Messi ffs, just laugh on their faces and move on.
FOUR days until Leo plays football again. FOUR!!! And the spectacle lasts for a mere 90 min, then poof we will have to wait again. Only Messi can make you wish the game went on forever. But what about when he is done entirely? How long do we wait then? Nothing but emptiness.
Never said it out loud, but I always fantasized a little dream growing up. To become so incredibly great in what I do that one day I have the world as my audience, and when I do, I express my incredible love and admiration for my idol Leo Messi in an interview. It will happen🤞
The one constant candle that illuminated my life and that of so many others is quickly burning down, soon it will be no more. I even feel like I am tweeting right now only to avoid the moments of silence and contemplation in between.
Leo's retirement from Argentina serves as a shocking reminder to my naive ass. Live your life's moments to the fullest with no half measures, for you never know which one will be reminisced upon as the best or the last.
One thing I will never have regrets over is how I lived, experienced, and celebrated the 2022 World Cup. Watched all 64 matches, experienced heart palpitations during the knockouts, shared every moment with Messi FC irl and on Twitter, cried my heart out, partied for weeks 🥹❤️
Man...I don't think I am taking his retirement too well. Somewhere along the line I have learned to bottle up my emotions and pretend to not feel anything. But this particular one, I can feel the bottle rattle and it is unsettling.
Can I remind people that MLS will have a short season in 2027 from Feb to May? They are doing this to adopt the European league schedule starting from the season after. So, is it too much to ask for one last dance in 2027-28 at Barca for Leo?

They asked you to wear Maradona's boots and play like they were slippers. They identified Argentina with Messi and crucified you for every single defeat. They held a gun to your head called the World Cup and kept firing and firing. Yet you took it all and gave us back ten fold 💌
✉️💝 Emi Martínez's letter to Leo Messi:
“Capi,
"Words will never be enough for everything you did for us and for all the Argentine people.
"All I can do is thank you for making me a world champion and for helping me reach heights I never imagined I could reach.
"You’ll always have my respect.
Thank you. 🩵🫶🏽”
Those who loved football. Those for whom this sport meant something close to heart. Those who sat down to watch many many matches of the beautiful game. They all know what they saw. Leo's journey with Argentina is an epic tale that cannot be touched, revised or rewritten. ☀️🇦🇷
I haven’t seen anybody mention this btw…but is Leo a Harry Potter fan?
He used a Department of Mysteries pen (with a time turner on it) to write his farewell letter 🧐
Mourinho has never waxed anything but lyricals about Leo. Jose can be many things to many people, but a great proponent of football is one thing he surely is. Only those fully immersed in football can truly realize the abnormal genius of Lionel Messi 🐐
🚨📲 Jose Mourinho to Leo Messi:
"Congratulations on a brilliant and unforgettable international career.
"The next Copa América and the next World Cup won’t be the same.”
Mate, I don't even care about the records and statistics of Messi with the NT. All I want is for him to be content and happy. I am sure Leo himself would look back at his 2011 self and realize the magnitude of what he has achieved with Argentina. I love him I love him I love him.
