People keep demanding respect for Ronaldo...

Ok what about the coach? Who's supposed to have full authority over tactics and will be blamed for results!

Ronnie played Wales and didn't do well, the weakest team in the group

Now the game with Norway being tied up and Jorge told him to warm up

Then boom Ramos scored which made no sense to sub him out for Ronnie

In final minutes, they needed to protect the lead so they subbed out Ramos for a midfielder

Ronnie wouldn't accept to be subbed in for just a few minutes either, like that time at United with ten Hag

Dude is 41 and been struggling to even perform in Saudi but he expects to play against big teams in Europe

Norway were WC quarter finalists, ain't no Asian bums. Last season he lost AFC tier 2 final to a Japanese club

Messi is 39 and ready to retire after a stellar WC performance...let that sink in!

It's totally illogical and risky to send the weakest and mortal members to a strange planet with 0 knowledge

What if dangerous aliens and weather kill them? Cmon even Mars is deadly

Why not at least send Hulk with Natasha, who is functionally immortal and already space-travelled in Ragnarok?

Anyone can go to NYC and talk to the Ancient one. What's so hard about it?

In the comics, Hawkeye basically lives in NYC

He seems to be a nice guy and pretty professional

But Jesus Christ

City should have a high standard in picking their lineup

He even got a contract extension recently

Like why? He should be sold and playing at a less elite club with lower expectations

Like Newcastle or Palace

They just signed Godts and Shark. It's insane!

Their squad depth and quality are unmatched

No team has the chemistry, discipline and talent to rival them

They can keep resting their key players in Ligue 1 and domestic cups

While major competitors gas out around March (like us-Barcelona)

They literally have a cheat code in football right now

As a Barca fan, i remember that 16/17 season of Dybala was madness, 17/18 was very good as well

Probably the 2nd best left foot in the world after Messi during that period

Then all of sudden they signed Ronaldo with the delusion that it was their quickest way to UCL glory

Thank God, at least my boy got to taste WC glory

I really think Juventus let Dybala down

Dele went to the 19 UCL final and started to decline

Sterling and Mount went to the 21 UCL final then declined

Grealish went to the 23 UCL final then also declined

Sancho went to the 24 UCL final and so on...

This can't be a coincidence...

Regardless of what will happen in the last 2 matches, Messi will 100% win his 3rd WC Golden Ball. That's a record that probably no one will ever break.

He can also win the Golden Boot too but that's not certain, Mbappe still has a big chance

1. Argentina are clearly not the most favorites but Scaloni makes it worse

2. Tactically they're lame and rely 100% on individual brilliance

3. They lack both creativity and box presence. Messi is their only playmaker.

Lopez should play ahead of Lautaro and Paz ahead of Almada/De Paul

Paz could provide that spark they lack after missing Di Maria

Scaloni keeps using the same senior players contradicting his adaptability in 22 where he tested Enzo, Mac and Alvarez which IT WORKED

It's clear that Alvarez is a deep lying forward and loves roaming freely

But it's not what we need

We need a POACHER in the box to finish chances like Lewandowski

We don't lack good wingers and midfielders to pass the ball into the box

Look at who finished that play? Enzo a midfielder

All Argentine strikers were outside the box: Messi Martinez Alvarez

Even if Alvarez was there he may have not won the header given his height

Alvarez works for Argentina because the way they play is not like us

We should stop this obsession with him

There's a reason why MSN started cooking once Messi told Suarez to stay centre and stop drifting wide

This is their 4th major tournament together, and they still light it up

Argentina is also Scaloni's first coaching job, which makes it even more impressive

Not to mention Di Maria is gone, and Messi is 39 now.

WHY WHY WHY? HOW HOW HOW?

Nowadays, everything is about numbers

Football>Mathball

For example, R9 my favorite striker of all time has 0 UCLs and only 14 goals...

SO WHAT?

You seriously gonna say Dembele is better cuz he has more UCL goals and trophies?

Even Benzema, Suarez, Lewandowski, Raul, Haaland...mean nothing in comparison to the Fenomeno

He played for the biggest rival clubs and none hated him...Barca Madrid Inter Milan...

Or Zidane only has 1 UCL. Are u gonna say Modric, Iniesta, Pirlo, Vitinha...are better?

Stop using numbers to analyze football. It's not math. Most of you hate math in school for real!
