Thierry Henry on Lionel Messi becoming the oldest player ever to score a World Cup hat-trick and the player with the most goals from outside the box in World Cup history:

🗣️ “I honestly don't know what more there is left to say about Lionel Messi anymore. Every time you think he has reached the top of the mountain, he somehow finds another peak that nobody else has ever climbed before.”

“The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick. Just stop and think about that for a second. At an age when most players are retired, coaching, or sitting in television studios, Messi is still breaking records on the biggest stage in football.”

“And it's not just the hat-trick that amazes me. He now has more World Cup goals from outside the box than anyone in history. That tells you everything about the level of technique, vision, and confidence we are talking about.”

“These are not lucky goals. These are moments of genius. The type of goals where everyone in the stadium knows what he wants to do, but nobody can stop him from doing it anyway.”

“What makes this even more incredible is that this is his sixth World Cup. Six World Cups. Different generations, different teammates, different opponents, yet the same outcome every single time Lionel Messi deciding matches.”

“People always ask what makes certain players special. Well, special players break records. Legends create records. Messi is doing both at the same time while carrying the expectations of an entire nation.”

“I've played against some of the greatest footballers in history, I've watched some of the greatest footballers in history, but what Messi continues to do at 38 years old simply doesn't make sense.”

“This is no longer about talent. This is no longer about numbers. This is football history unfolding right before our eyes, and every single match feels like another chapter in a story that nobody thought was possible.”

Haiti are playing so unexpectedly well. They deserve at least a goal.

실제로 그 텀블러가 17온스인지 확인한 사람은 없는거?

[곰돌리우스 @juniecho]

음... 그런데 503이 박근혜의 '멸칭'인 것을 생각하면 이 용량자체는 그런 의도인지는 잘 모르겠음. 그란데 473mL가 16 oz(미국 플루이드 온스)라서 그냥 1 oz 올린 17 oz 짜리 텀블러를 만든 듯한데? 그 17 oz가 환산하면 503mL에 해당함;;
...근데 나같으면 걍 500mL라 했겠다.

It's weird that Criterion Channel doesn't have any of Hong Sang-soo's films.

This LAFC vs. Inter Miami game is so intense! #mls

A historic performance

He’s leaving for another club that is willing to put him as a penalty taker.

Most of the things in life are doable if you can make your minds up and just try. All those bad people with power are just average people who decided to give a shot to make their bad ideas a reality because they feel entitled. They are not special. They are just bad humans.

Ten inches of snow have piled up outside with the wind chill of -10. Playing the side B of Charm on repeat because there's one song I want to skip on the other side as I work with a pen and a new notebook, trying to catch up on the work I missed last week due to the flu.

One of my favorite activities is to show up at the party just to leave, but these days I don’t go to the party at all, or if I do, it’s a family party that I can’t leave.

My first movie in 2026 is Materialists. This is instantly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It’s like a K-Drama (specifically a morning soap opera) with a plot complexity of a Hallmark movie filmed in NYC in a Judd Apatow-style.

When I am sick, I feel apocalyptic.

@footballconfid1 Give him more time and let him finish the season. I’ll be interesting.

[J @winterpageant]

@ChrisCowlin Sad but true. Look at Modric, Bale, and Kane.

@ChrisCowlin Just a midtable manager doing midtable manager things

@SpursOfficial I feel bad for him but I don’t see the future

[J @winterpageant]

@TottenhamTiers I would give him a month or two. There’s not much that the new manager can do to turn this around right away, but the worst thing that might happen is losing the players joining on loan (Tel and RKM).
