I’m sad that this is the last tournament we will see him at

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Just rest him now.
And ties Maradona's all time worlee cup assist record with a classic!
Extended his all time WC KO stages assist record as well.
Up to 19 goal contributions in the world cup now.

One of the best World Cup assists in recent memory.
Messi ain't rompin'.
Imagine some people are comparing Mbappe to him.
Rescind Benzema's Balon D'Or and give it to Messi.
Imagine someone thinking Ronaldo is a better player because he scored 3 more goals in any given season (which were probably pens anyway).
Some compared Ronaldo to him.

If Sachin is Messi, and 2011 is 2022, then Yuvraj is Alvarez.
But who will be Gambhir/Dhoni?
At this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
The GOAT, all that needs to be said.
Scaloni should take him off now and bring Di Maria on.
To think there are people who aren't fans of Messi. It's like someone who enjoys watching tennis saying they weren't a fan of Federer
Nobody does it better
What a player. Really hopes he has a cracking final and gets to be crowned world champion.
Feck me, he's incredible.
Going to miss watching him when he retires.
Wtf is going on here.

Steve Smith you mean? True GOAT

I think he's definitely the best ever but I do think Maradona did a bigger carry job in that tournament
Man’s running 1 mph and he had gvardiol on toast.
GOAT.
GOAT.
Key difference is the one you don't think matters. Maradona carried the team to a win. All that matters.
He did cheat with a handball against the Netherlands!
I'd say Mbappe currently does as Messi despite still being magical isn't quite what he was in his peak Barca days.
Scary thing is though the current version of Messi is still better than most.
I need the fairytale finish in the final I'm sorry
Maradona had a better Argentina team to support him, not to mention he had to cheat to get to the final.
Nonsense go back and watch Maradona 86 again.
Are PSG just gonna casually give him a big what would be a routine post-WC break anyway?
He'll probably end up coming back in 21/22 form. RIPSG.

What nonsense.
Messi wouldn’t have lasted 5 mins playing in that era!
The debate really is no longer on is it?
Outside of this forum it ended a long time ago to be honest
No one remembers any of that when it comes to legacy.

Mega mega World Cup so far. (Assuming France beat Morocco) it will come down to Grizou vs Messi in the final
Messi has a far better legacy than Maradona though, he is head and shoulders at club level.
It was never a debate when it came to actual talent. Ronaldo got in due to other factors.
Maybe in your opinion. As far as masses go theres no such widespread opinion that holds Messi as the outright better player.
You think Messi's a sociopath?
Not even remotely comparable. What Messi brilliantly did to Gvardiol there, Maradona did several times a game, every game.
