Lionel Messi 🐐

[ronniec]

Yeah, I remember Higuain had 2 clear cut chances and my heart was almost exploded at those 2 moments…
Luckily, he blew the chances.

[Trion]

Higuain chances are more in my head when I think of that final.

[Ocke]

Don’t really get how a WC win or not defines a players legacy. Remember that Mustafi won the WC. You can’t win a WC on your own, football is a team sport.
It’s like saying that skier Vladimir Smirnov’s career is tarnished, because he never won a relay gold medal in the Olympics or WC.

Ahhh yes, but Maradonna.

[Trion]

@Cristo

Maradonna

Who?

[Electrifying]

Had guys like Caniggia and a great defence to build off.

Messi had Demichelis and Otamendi

[DavidHillier]

Do you guys reckon Messi will make the World Cup in 2022?

[sevchenko]

I think so.

One last chance for Messi

[DavidHillier]

@sevchenko

One last chance for Messi

Hopefully the last World Cup in the Middle East, too.

didn’t win it on his own either.

That world cup is going to be an appalling display. I reckon its a mistake by the money men to make such a clear show of how rotten to the core the sport is by playing the tournament in a country chosen entirely and so completely transparently for money reasons.

[sevchenko]

If not for the corruption and migrant deaths, there would be some enjoyable novelty in having the World cup in a place like Qatar

[DavidHillier]

The winter World Cup is something I’d never, ever be able to get my head around.

I kinda hope there aren’t any fans there and the restrictions go well into the end of next year.

It’d be poetic justice for those money making saps at FIFA.

If a country can’t host a major a tournament in June/ July then they simply shouldn’t be hosting.

[Stroller]

I have the feeling football will change after this tournament and one of the reasons why it got selected.

What? No. Stop.

Exactly. It’s practicalities.

It’s like now being able to recruit a 5 foot 1 midget for the police. What good is he gonna be against 6 foot plus villainous scum?

Imagine being able to butthead someone in the nuts

[Trion]

Isn’t it time for Messi to submit his request to transfer as per his contract clause?
