quit my job today and a sales guy out of Germany sent me an incredibly heartfelt slack thanking me for teaching him the phrase “does a bear shit in the woods” when responding to something that is an obvious yes 😭
My Pops: Traveling to Europe and America was so easy back then. Most of my friends sent their children to America to study but i didn’t because i wanted to watch my children grow up.

Messi repeatedly conquered club football and took Argentina to within 3 matches of back to back to back tournament wins. Lost 3 finals. They wouldn’t have made any of those finals without him.
Before then, he had won the U/20 World Cup and the Olympics. They pretended those events never happened.
He was trolled like he hadn’t done anything. He was bantered like a villain. It was an all or nothing situation. He was bantered for the margins left of the all.
Take today’s banter as you find it. It is nowhere near what Messi was served, including on his birthdays.
There is nothing new under this sun. Take it on the chin or continue to cry. But if a man who was the best player at the World Cup got trolled for not winning it after losing a final they did enough to win, everyone should take what they get. Especially if you can’t even smell finals.
“Where is Messi?” became a thing after Messi scored a goal and dominated against Saudi Arabia. He wasn’t a passenger. He played. He scored. But they lost, so the world started to look for a man who wasn’t lost. Now you want to police people for asking for the invisible homelander?
Wasiu Adelabu Ogunmepons please!
I don’t want to hear pim!

I survived the labour room
Are we conveniently forgetting that Ronaldo was literally benched in the 2022 World Cup because he wasn’t up to the mark?
You want to defend Ronaldo by mentioning his age, absolutely. That’s fair enough. But Messi stands the test of time like no one in history.
If Messi decides to come to the next World Cup at the age of 42 when he’s in obvious physical decline he will get the same treatment Ronaldo is getting now
