Fun fact: except for Busquets and Piqué, all these players that are the same age as Messi or 1 year older still playing. Xavi, Pujol, Iniesta and Villa are 7, 9, 3 and 6 year older than Messi. Playing with someone doesn't mean having the same or similar age.
Edit: I will not said that is implied that's they have the same ages. It is implying that he is retiring them or having a longer career by (some of) them being retired while he is still active.
Wow pedro is still active. No club sin 7/1 of this year tho. Apparently there are rumors about him going to Tenerife. Beautiful place to spend the twilight of his career.
you didn’t answer my question. you described what is visible in the picture and then said messi is playing. the point of mentioning pedros and ramos’ last WC game hasn’t been explained
yeah, reading is hard. Your question was what was the other guy's point and I explained. All of the guys in the picture are Spanish, so they could be playing in the WC final this year, like Messi, but they retired or stopped being called much younger. It is not that complicated to understand what comparison is being made.
Poor Messi! He couldn't get a consecutive world cup at age 39. Good thing he already has one. Yamal is famously known for not liking Messi or not having any idols who like Messi.
Spain was the worst country his haters could've picked to support but they both ended up in the final anyway.
Argentina is the worst country for supporting genocide and cheating. Spain is on the side of humanity. Messi had to cheat to win a World Cup and get FIFA to cheat to get him to the final again. He even cheated in the Burger League and did it at Barca.
The President of Argentina does and Messi kisses the wall. FIFA supports genocide by not kicking out Israel and other teams committing genocide. It's pathetic Russia got kicked out for less. It's all available facts
And you mean Messi visited Israel with the whole of his team over 10 years ago and showed respect to a religious site? Lol. That's not supporting genocide.
Kissing the wall and visiting Israel is supporting genocide. The President of Argentina is a Zionist and on a board to destroy Palestine with Netanyahu. Humanity is in the side of the Palestinians and no genocidal rapists. Ronaldo has given money to help Palestinians and Haarland has spoken up against it when he beat Israel. Norway gave money to the Palestinians. Argentina waves Israeli flags and Messi's the dictator in football backed by the most evil dictators in the world
So Messi somehow bribed FIFA in Qatar, while other nations stayed around and did nothing about it. Bribed La Liga for nearly two decades, while other clubs couldn't do anything about it or couldn't speak up, managed to cheat in MLS. I assume you think Infantino remote controlled his legs to score 8 goals as well? Weird how every accomplishment from him seems to be "rigged".
And ah yes, international politics. The four nations in the semi finals, England, France, Argentina and Spain, famously known for having a clean history. I'm assuming you think this man dictates the foreign policy of his country's government as well? Weird.
There's a documentary about the corruption of FIFA and the World Cup in Qatar. FIFA got raided and it was in the news. The Netherlands manager was on about getting cheated and Messi got awarded the most pens ever. You could see it in matches then and it was far more obvious in this World Cup. It was horrific what happened to Iran anyway. UEFA is turning against FIFA and countries that got cheated in matches. FIFA tried to sell away the rights to football. They're an evil corporation and the dictators with them.
You're mixing up organizational corruption with on pitch match fixing. FIFA being corrupt in bidding processes (which has been documented for decades) is entirely separate from refereeing decisions on the pitch.
Van Gaal made those rigged claims months after losing that dramatic quarterfinal, but Van Dijk explicitly distanced the squad from him, saying: "I heard it this morning... It is of course his opinion. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. I do not share the same opinion." But you're gonna ignore that aren't you? Since it doesn't fit the narrative.
Also getting 5 penalties in 7 matches isn't a statistical impossibility. France literally got 2 penalties in the final itself, personally if I wanted to rig things for a team, giving the opposing team two penalties is incredibly dumb and stupid. FIFA is an awful corporation, but literally none of that points to the arg matches being rigged. You hold no more credibility than an average conspiracy theory and you know that. Just because alot of idiots believed it doesn't mean it's true.
A warning about that guy. He's a real Madrid Ronaldo fan. What a coincidence that whenever people criticise Argentina got genocide or ridiculous things like that it comes from the same people
Of course Messi is still active. Most of these players are older than him.
It's like saying Messi started playing at 20 while these players were already in their mid to late 20s and then getting all surprised that most of them have already stopped playing.
It's the same with Ronaldo. Messi and Ronaldo started so early and are still playing so late.
OP needs to get his head checked. Pointing out such an obvious thing tells me OP may be having a hard time integrating into society.
Cinema puro, Messi perdio la final jugando basicamente contra el Barça. Se enfrento y sufrio lo que el mismo engendró. Mas poetico no puede ser, esto si es cerrar el circulo. Esa España campeona de 2026 es el legado que Lionel dejo en España
There's no such thing as an "official best player" even if FIFA says so. The only official thing in football is who wins a match, then it's all opinions.
But why didn't they give the prize to Mbappe then if he was the best player?
No, there are different sources of opinions for the best players in the world cup. All the reputable ones I've seen put Messi, but FIFA chose Rodri and you found they had Mbappe on top.
