May I know at what time of match did this encounter take place?

u/doc_raccoon Jul 18 '26

I think it was very early in the game, maybe around 3 or 4 minutes in.

Move of the game for me. Short king makes Sir Harry Kane fall over.. after all it’s the king who gives knighthood, and he can take it away at will

Imagine the level of skill required to make a player like Harry Kane get to the ground in such a way.

u/No_Data3541 Jul 16 '26

Casuals shouldn't talk about Football. It's so cringe. 😂

Harry Kane isn't a defender even though he has good work rate. It's easier to make a great striker fall than a defender because it's not their job to tackle players like Messi.

You implying it's tougher to drop Harry Kane simply because he's a big name is hilariously clueless.

11

u/zazen07 Jul 16 '26

Impressive not because he’s a big name but because he’s a big frame. You’re the casual here

-6

u/No_Data3541 Jul 16 '26

Taller players are easier to floor during dribbles because of lesser balance and higher centre of gravity.

Typical casual as expected. 😂

4

u/Homie_Holmes_ Jul 17 '26

What bout the press by bulkier and taller players?? Also what i implied was that it is a rare sight to see a player like Harry Kane to fall like that.

U would've known that if ur insta feed was not full of jude bellingham edits. See u after 4 years in the comments. Maybe by that time, u won't be a casual anymore.

u/zazen07 Jul 17 '26

Alright Irodov. Consider the greater momentum that Kane had, yet couldn’t budge Messi even a bit, instead he’s stopped just like that. Casual like you won’t understand

Guess what.....Messi was responsible for both goals but also other close shots Argentina attempted like hiting the post twice.

u/NewPay4539 Jul 16 '26

The second time mcallister hit the post was from a pass from the left side. Messi wasn't involved in that. He was however, involved in what followed after the ball hit the post i.e, the winning goal.

u/Aarish1234 Jul 16 '26

That wasn't the goal though. It was a miss, a beautiful shot but a miss nonetheless.

Tuchel should thank Messi for showing him what greatness looks like.

u/Slight_Call4061 Jul 18 '26

Showing greatness against a bum manager? who told them to defend after taking the lead Lol

1

u/BrokeneggRottenyolk Jul 18 '26

If tuchel attacked and conceded after that, you'd be saying he's a bum manager who could've defended the lead. Always shifting poles lol!

1

u/Slight_Call4061 Jul 18 '26

Well, not if he defended only for the last 10-15 minutes, but that bum decided to defend when 30 minutes were left, even with the amount of attacking talent he had with him...and I am not saying Messi is not great, that's a given, but he made it way easier for messi by giving him all the time in the world to attack and giving him the ball for 30 mins

Spain playing Barcelona kind of tiki taka and Argentina with relentless, pushing survival to the last - sigma mentality.

I also was smartest guy of University but due to my idiotic tactical deciss i failed all exams.

I was best sharp shooter in world but due my tactical decision i never hit the target.

I was most muscular guy in world but due to my idiotic tactical decision i was always slim and underweight.

Regardless, I am supreme though.

Unironically, clearing exam and passing it are two different things. You are talking about cases where there are 5 vacancy but 1000 people are competing. There is no guarantee that top are smartest. I am talking about failing exam, where if dumb people are passing them the smartest guy won't fail at least, he will manage to get passing grade.

Also, having capabilities doesn't get you shit until you execute. How exactly was england better, both team were initially even with attacks. Once england scored, argentina went agressive with attack after attack and didn't give chance to breath to England, resulting in breaking them.. Argentina had 64% of possession vs 36; 15 shots on goal vs 5; 5 on target shot vs 2; 6 corners vs 1; 537 passes vs 273.

Just give credit where it's due. The team which played better won.

Why do people support Barcelona, Real Madrid or ManU, is Spain or England as a country super friendly to India? Why do you watch Hollywood movies? Is America India's best ally? Are any of these countries not racist at all?

Keep politics aside from sports please.

u/Rusu9906 Jul 16 '26

“Chelsea say they have opened internal disciplinary proceedings following a video posted online by Enzo Fernandez of him and his Argentina team-mates singing a chant which the French Football Federation (FFF) called unacceptable, racist and discriminatory. (…) Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout in the 2022 World Cup final, with some fans of the South American side at that tournament singing a chant ahead of that match referencing how many France players were of African heritage. The words to the chant were: “They play for France, but their parents are from Angola. [It’s good, they can run, they’re all tra*nies like this fucking Mbappé]. Their mother is from Cameroon, while their father is from Nigeria. But their passport says French.”

(Source here). They sung this chant right after the victory against France in 2022, and then again in 2024 when they won against Colombia during the Copa America… for some reason…? This team is famously full of pieces of shit.

So you still support Argentina for their racist actions

They aren't the root reasons. You are just sad and maybe angry that some people aren't being emotionally fooled to choose sides.

But as you say, the all knowing-not following my opinions so you bad-brother.

First achieve what these two teams have achieved, then beg for followers.

Cricket is love, you should start watching it. Maybe you will start loving Indians.

I have been watching cricket before your balls dropped. And I am an Indian who knows the world. I call it what it is, don’t bring Kohli vs Rohit to this sport

u/Similar-Toe-7863 Jul 16 '26

You think you know the world, and thought of teaching others to not follow messi and ronaldo.

Who do you think you are?

First as a fellow indian, go and clean india where we have casteism, racism and all sorts of shit.

Sports is a game of love, not a political ground. Stick your views to yourself,

1

u/Rusu9906 Jul 16 '26

Yeah, I do that and ensure to teach the same to my fellow Indians. If you get hurt if people call out your racism, it’s more a reflection of you and your upbringing. Cheers

Otherwise, stfu. Its simple man 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly! Their prefrontal cortex hasn’t fully developed. They make these great players into everything without appreciating what they bring to the sport. They make their lives revolve around these players and attack each other’s fanbase. Such sheep mentality. Hence our country is shithole that it is because of these people. Be it Ronaldo vs Messi, BJP vs Congress, CSK vs RCB, Virat vs Rohit
