News: Other National Teams (os outros)

Well Spain just exposed to everyone that Argentina is a gay @SS fraud team. No shot ATTEMPTS till the final few minutes of the AET. F**k 'em.

 

Messi and Haaland scored 8 and 7 goals in the tournament and were the biggest reasons their teams went far you deranged fanboy. Haaland is also the top scorer in the top league in the world. Messi performed well against far better teams than the mighty Uzbekistan, and he's the main reason Argentina reached the final. Failing to score once doesn't put them on the level of a useless 41 year old playing in Saudi Arabia.

Your genuine belief that Ronaldo isn't finished as a top player and that he's comparable to these players is pure lunacy. I mean look at this bullshit:

Still keeping up this narrative that players don't pass to Ronaldo out of jealousy (yet oddly enough the entire teams mobs him with hugs and kisses when he scores). Still maintaining this delusion that Ronaldo is leaps and bounds Portugal's best attacker (isn't even the best Portuguese attacker at his crappy Saudi club). And this is supposedly based on "logic and fact".

But it's just ESPN FC bro. You're just parroting the media bro.

You belong in an asylum. Worshiping an athlete to this extent is pathetic.

 

Messi is also well past his best. He's 39 playing in MLS. No one denies this. Still had a great World Cup. France's juggernaut front line couldn't do anything against Spain either. Doesn't make them the equivalent of a guy who is so obviously finished as a top player and has been for years.

 

Its just so illogical we all saw with out eyes the last 4 years that Ronaldo is surrounded by much more talent than Messi. This was not really a very strong world cup. If Portugal topped their group as they should have they likely would have beat Argentina and England.

Again Messi completed 9 dribbles agaisnt England. Ronaldo completed zero dribbles in 9 games between 2022 and 2026. That is a devastating stat! Ramos could have done so much more and Ronaldo could have been extremely useful off the bench.

The era of having Bernarndo Bruno with Neves Vitinha at world cups is over it was wasted.
2030 is a long time away and the team might be even better but this was a good opportunity while a lot of traditional giants were down bad.

 

Messi did a miracle to get to the final but I was always saying he was also too old.
Spain basically played a man up and they already play keep away because Messi can't defend.
It was always unlikely that they could win again but the difference is they already won so there was no risk really.

While we saw the pattern with Ronaldo at 21/22/24 and there was huge risk to roll the dice with him again as the centre piece of the team. Those who saw the patterns were correct and he was even worse than I imagined he could be because physically he can hardly move.

 

You're just repeating what ESPN FC tells you. Ronaldo is actually Portugal's best attacker and they intentionally don't pass to him when he's wide open because they're jealous and hate him.

-Tales from the asylum.

 

I know it's just wild because the team is so good. Even Ruben Dias dusts England and Argentinas CBs. I get it would take a brave manager to tell him he was going to be a sub but what a shame!

 

True!

 

He might be done, but the difference is that his last hurrah at 39 had him as a Golden Ball candidate where he was by far his team's best player, not whatever the ******** Ronaldo's been doing the past few tournaments.

 

I tried to be fair and said neither would reach the final as the record Klose had of 37 being then oldest was there for a reason. Messi did several miracles to make up for his lack of defence which also kinda put Argentina in those holes to begin with.

His record of 39 will likely stand a very very very long time. People forget Zidane was 34 in 2006.
43 is an absurd ambition for the Euros. It takes nothing away from what Ronaldo was in his prime or questions his abilities or desire its just science at some point. You can only defy biology so long.

 

The point isn't to defend Messi. That guy has been sarcastically calling Haaland 'finished' when he doesn't score, since people justifiably claim that about Ronaldo. Now since Messi didn't score yesterday, he's adding him to the mix. It's nothing but cope and seethe to defend Ronaldo.

 

Yes it's silly I agree with you but I just try to be balanced that older players are a liability.
Messi is an outlier in so many ways. Haaland knocked out Brasil putting to bed the Ronaldo never had help cope that many use to excuse 2008-2014.

 

NGL, you had me

 

No Di Maria this time to make all the runs. The supporting cast were a bunch of thugs.
Even so, the few crosses Messi got in were making the Spaniards sweat at the end.

Sergio Conceicao as Belgium next manager?

 

You are probably Italian cosplaying as an Argentinian.. Go eat some Stromboli and qualify for a World Cup maybe.. When's the last time you left group stage? 2006? Last qualification? 2014?

 

Ramos was in Ronaldo’s situation and did score.

But even if we do run with your batshit premise of no one wanting to pass to him because they’re super duper jealous - if he “isn’t utilized” as you say, why force him on the field? He can’t be “our best striker” if he isn’t utilized, can he? Doesn’t really makes sense, does it? You would have to be pretty retarded to give a permanent, untouchable spot to someone who isn’t utilized, wouldn’t you? Sounds like you agree that it’s like playing a man down.

 

I'm honestly convinced TorontoCalabria is an AI bot at this point... The way he responds. Suspect..
