we're often too reverent in talking about athletes as gods when they are clearly talented-but-flawed men
but he literally baptized this baby and blessed him with legendary soccer talent, feels like pretty solid evidence he's some sort of saint or perhaps a minor deity if polytheism is real
Quite annoyed by the commentary on the Messi penalty given that he’s been marginally below average at them for his entire career, and even elite takers are at like 85%
Messi missed the PK because he did that stupid stutter step. Step and rip it. Players who step up and rip it make 65.7%* more PKs.
*Not an actual stat, just a gut feeling
Messi, quite good at soccer it would appear
it doesn't happen often but watching Messi get bullied physically is hilarious, oh you got a magic soccer dwarf, cool, get hip-checked by a blockheaded dude fifty pounds heavier than you named Konrad
Austria-Argentina is a top-tier "just to be clear, what exactly did your great-grandfather do for work" game
Cape Verde score their first World Cup goal ever and it’s a 30 yard bomb!
Mo Salah, doing what he does best.

Amazing. At age 20, Lionel Messi did a UNICEF Barcelona photo shoot for a calendar, of him giving a baby a bath.
That baby was Lamine Yamal.
It’s his first World Cup, and Messi’s last. They’ll play against each other. What a crazy story.
