re: Messi goes out like a chump.

Argentina played perhaps the weakest schedule in World Cup history and still needed corrupt officiating to win multiple games against those weak teams.
Even with the help of the ref in this game who refused to give out multiple cards to Argentina, not to mention w ignoring more that an equivalent number of fouls he let go uncalled, they still couldn’t even manage a shot in the first 110 minutes of the game.

Messi has had 2 goals in 4 knockout games.
He had 6 against the worst group in World Cup history. :lol:

re: Where does Lionel Messi rank in tGOAT athletes discussion in the world?

Messi is useless on defense and is entirely a one dimensional (offensive) player.
GOAT of GOATS needs to be great on both sides. Only one that fits that is Jordan.

So unless you seethe IMAX 70mm, you are literally missing a chunk of the film. :lol:

That’s because they changed the Achilles parts into Sinon apparently.
It’s fine to accept Nolan did atrocious casting and tried to check some boxes in doing so. He’s apparently not above that. Doesn’t mean the movie as a whole is awful, just apparently some forced BS.
In the end, once people not paid to watch it, see it, then we will get some legitimate reviews in my opinion.
You just have t look ignore the ones over glorifying it and the idiots screaming it is a DEI project as well.
If that clip shown is actual dialogue and the acting of it, good God it is atrocious.
Even for Damon that sounded wooden.

As someone who has seen both of them play in person several times, Messi is better. Pele outclassed players of his time, but Messi is another level.
Do you think Pelé getting the same training and fitness advancements Messi has had would not have been any better than he was at the time?
Messi is an entirely one dimensional player. He’s an offensive juggernaut who plays absolutely no defense whatsoever. Many of the other great scorers were similar. I rank players on overall game personally and someone like Zidane could play basically anywhere non the field for example. I am not saying his the GOAT, but he. Was a true great player at all three levels.
Messi is absurdly good at one.
Think of why Jordan was considered and is the greatest? He’s almost as good defensively basically as he was offensively. He’s not a one sided player.
Again, Messi is top 3 and GOAT worthy, but I don’t consider him a definitive GOAT simply on host stats.
Further, as mentioned, pro soccer leagues are ridiculously top heavy and have no type of balance. It’s easy to go to a top team where you have 30-40% of the top talent in a league and excel.
International stage he’s been dominant, sure, but Mbappé is right there with him with 2 WC finals in his first 3 WCs. This is Messi’s 3rd in his long career. That doesn’t make Mbappé better, but shows how the game has become since the turn of the century.

Is Messi the true GOAT if he gets another World Cup Championship?
No. Still won’t have the most wins in a World Cup for a star and benefitted from being in a two team professional league for the bulk of his career.
Top 3-5 sure. He still doesn’t touch Pelé though.

Trying to park the bus against Messi for 30 minutes just seems like a terrible idea.
Messi did absolutely nothing. It was done despite him. He was awful this game and the previous one.
England was screwed early on fouls but managed to get the lead only to go into a shell. I knew this was gonna happen the second they stopped attacking aggressively after the goal.
Worst part is the second goal came off an uncalled foul on Messi. English player got to the ball first, Messi kicked him and then wandered off.
In the end, Argentina is living off a rep that this team doesn’t really justify, but it’s working.
Spain is a much better technical team and better defensively than England, so they should win all things equal.
Infantino’s corruption got what he wanted though. Messi in the final. Sadly they didn’t need his corruption much in this game. Just needed an English manager to coach like a moron after going up 1-0.
Worst part? Egypt showed how susceptible Argentina is on the back end once you get up on them. They press and counter attacks are easy on them then.

Ref hasnt done really anything wrong with the foul calls. Not giving a corner at the end was weird. Its a tough physical game with plenty of fouls that needed to be called.
There were numerous that needed to be called early and were not. This heavily favored Argentina. They just got you used to fouls being ignored so now calling a few is fine.

Foul numbers are quite misleading. It’s even worse a disparity than it shows with a ton of utterly blatant Argentinian fouls going uncalled.
It’s been awful, but no surprise from this American ref. Got his marching orders like the rest of them.

I am a huge Deschamps fan, but it was an awful strategy given the players they were using and then add in poor player execution and you get that game.
The second Saliba went out, things needed to change and they didn’t. It led to tons of confusion and entirely the reason for the second goal.

Reviews from paid critics has been an awful way to judge a film. These aren’t the film critics of old. They are mostly if not nearly entirely paid shills.
That said, the movie may be great. It may suck. It’s likely a decent film not worth the hype but with some poor choices typical of Nolan. In the end, believing the critics right before a film releases is meaningless.
It will make money simply because it’s a Nolan film and the cinematography will likely be great. Much like Avatar movies did. That doesn’t make it a great or even good movie.
In the end see it, don’t see it. It’s each person’s decision.

France has the better forwards and had a better center back, but their midfield has played mid the entire tournament.
Spain was able to take advantage and was the better team today.
France wasted so much talent and the penalty complete discombobulated them.
Happy for Spain, and hope they win it all. Tomorrow is one of those matches where you hope somehow neither team wins cause both are shitheads, but I guess I’d rather England than Messi and Argentina getting continued undeserved wins with the help of the officials.
ETA: once Saliba went out, France’s defense collapsed and played lost. He covered up a lot of weaknesses in the back for France and their weak midfield.
Saddest thing is to think historically how great the midfielders were for France have been and this tournament they were just mediocre.

Sure sure. Not that they simply sucked and played a joke of a schedule up to that point.

Big Twn had an absurd structure that was heavily favoring the schools. SEC has an entirely different structure for those deals, so your comparison is useless and idiotic, but then again, expecting an Ole Miss fan to use logic and reason rather than butt hurt in an argument is a bit much.
