    Messi goal against Mexico was his 13th goal this year which means he has broken Batigol & his own previous 12 goals in calendar year record.

    Insane that he's doing when he's 35. 13 goals + 4 assists so far.

    Messi has 8 goals in 21 games.
    Maradona had 8 goals in ... 21 games.

    PSG also try to extend his contract. I think if he wins World Cup and even UCL, he will go to Inter Miami.

    I think no chance Messi goes to Inter Miami. I predict he re-signs with PSG.

    They are apparently hoping to pair up Messi with fakeRonaldo !!

    The other 8 outfield players will have to run their bollix off !!

    As mentioned earlier, today is Messi's 1000th match. I remember him "celebrating" big career marks in style. Maybe he can finally break is WC KO goal scoring duck today.

    Sad to learn that the Aussies have brought in Keanu Baccus just to do a hatchet job on Messi :(

    I hope the ref is strong enough tonight

    lol
    Not true at all.
    Argentina missed a penalty in '78 but it was in their second match against France. (They played Italy in the third match)
    And Argentina didn't have a penalty awarded to them in the '86 group stage. I still have all those games on VHS. :D

    It’s a bad attempt at plagiary



    Messi just delivered the best individual performance of the 2022 World Cup so far

    His 2nd half performance in particular was out of this world at times

    Argentina’s number 9 who plays for inter Milan(I forgot his name)doing his best impression of Romelu lukaku
    With half adequate finishing messi could’ve easily had 3 assists

    Messi goal came just a minute after that Australian guy taunted him :laugh:

    Messi's goal is basically a nutmeg pass not a shot...:D
