Leo Messi: "I can't ask for anything more, God gave me too much, now everything is just to enjoy.
"I'm just happy to being considered as one of the best in football history, I'm just grateful to be considered among many great players..."
I apologize in advance if this applies to you but I sincerely believe that if you think Ronaldo was ever close to Messi, you are of an objectively lower mental status than me, something akin to a sea urchin or maybe a mussel.
i do not think nigerians are morally superior or anything but if nigerians were to ever act like this to foreigners today, there’d be a lot more nigerians decrying and rallying against it. but there’s a silence on this issue by south africans that implies tacit support.
Africa has 6 footballing countries: Senegal, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt and Cameroon. The rest are just bystanders. Look at the last 15 AFCON finals and semifinals if you think I am exaggerating.
The only reason why the US doesn’t win every World Cup is because our best athletes choose football, baseball, basketball, and hockey over soccer
It’s like we are sending our 5th string up against everyone else’s best
It’s not just legitimacy.
There is a thriving industry behind all sorts of hate. Propped up and funded by the rich, insecure and tax avoiding billionaires.
Follow the money, stop the hate.
Owen Jones: Racists now think they're legitimate.
Because Farage gave them a script. Tommy gave them a signal. Musk gave them a platform.
Now Belfast burns. And they're acting surprised.
Don't be. 🎯🔥
Its admirable how UEFA are able to piggyback off FIFA’s failures to make themselves seem a much better organisation
When FIFA announced their inflated ticket prices, UEFA announced a price cap for Euro2028, and now this.
Hate giving UEFA any credit, but its a great strategy
Today, CAF won’t speak. There are individuals whose pockets are layered with corrupt FIFA money or promise of it.
Imagine 10/38 countries, legitimately, deciding not to play because most of their fans aren’t allowed to show?
It was because of CAF.
In 1964, a CAF delegation led by Kwame Nkrumah boycotted the 1966 World Cup, and one of the demands was for FIFA to ban apartheid South Africa. No one is going to address what's happening in this year's World Cup unless CAF speak out.
