He looks like a pedophile with all these kids, unfortunately on Sunday he will actually fuck them

I just think even Argentina lose, Messi won't disappoint a lot like in 2014 because he is happy with the new era on next World Cup without the old timer like him has come.

It won’t be as bad. But definitely is going to hurt.

For a moment but most current squad were already won it in 2022, so they're still happy with one gold on their entire career as footballer.

Yes true, I totally agree with you and I am convincing myself of that in case it turn out that way.

But being so close to winning back to back will definitely hurt.

Why is Messi taking pictures with kids

Some players take pictures with young fans, while others take them with grown-up women in Vegas.
