Messi in Miami

Bro, your countryman tried to punch Vitinha and he got away with it. It was dirty and it should be called out.

Trying to randomly sucker punch people is bad and the player should get a straight red card. That's the message.

He didn't try to punch anyone don't be silly, he wouldn't even missed if he actually tried and at the end of the game they even exchange t-shirts, in fact the only thing you are exposing it's the level of idiocy of social media and their agendas to gain clicks and maybe in your case and way more toxic fans than you try to draw some sort of silly parallel with your idol.

Also at the end of the day, if he actually knocked him down?, what is the idea? do you want the Cristiano thread being flooded with Cris antics?.
Maybe you actually are very young, but for real from your reaction to Kwabs, agreeing or not, to your constant over the top statements, or even misreading posts thinking someone had attacked Cris like Rimaldo's joke, you are making a lot of people actually going after your posts to just tease you and not few times Cristiano ends in the receiving end too, relax a bit, no pun intended at all.

Jake Paul about to call him out

Indeed he likes the over the hill legends or the mediocre type.

PD: It's incredible what Jake Paul had achieved in the boxing world, it would have been unimaginable that someone could pull out such a move in the 20th century. I know Box might have lost terrain to UFC and such, yet..
I feel for the real boxers out there to deal with such a bizarre moment of the sport.

Messi tried to punch Vitinha in the face and he missed him. Instead of getting the red card, he avoids getting one.

This Reddit sub is notorious for meatriding Messi but even this sub agrees with you.

But the Messi cult here will attack you. These are the same people who cry about Ronaldo fanboys.

Both the fanbases are as bad as each other and deserve one another. :lol:

He did try though, come on. And this soccer subreddit is full of Messi fanboys and even they agreed it was an attempted punch. And I am not really young. I have a college degree and I have a full time job. I am young, but I am older than Hojlund and Garnacho.
So that should give you the clue about my age.

And my main agenda is for Manchester United football club to be GREAT again, first and foremost. I only started to reply to CR7's posts after I saw a flood of biased and ridiculous takes from several people there. My idol is CR7, but it's also Cantona, Rooney, Scholes, Vidić etc. Especially Cantona, (name says it all) and I really like Ruud Van Nistelroy.

I don't think that I dislike a single player from the golden era of Man Utd. I liked Dinho and Zidane when I was young, but I never felt attached to them. I am only attached to Man Utd players and my national team. CR7 is one of them. If anyone had over the top statements it was Kwabs. International footnall being way more important than club football, Nations League not being a real competition, CR7 not being in the GOAT debate because of he was a bad playmaker etc.
 
He's totally physically done just like Ronaldo.

Must be frustrating being totally schooled when you've got his footballing pedigree.

He's just a marketing show pony for Miami, he's still got the fanboys, social media status...

Yeah. Must be really weird for him since he has been amazing at the sport for basically his entire life.

Now he's being asked to do a thing that he sucks at. He isn't the most camera-friendly guy and this marketing show pony thing is probably really annoying for a guy like him. :lol:

He's not done for MLS level though. He still regularly tears it up there, but admittedly the level is really low. Kinda like how Ronaldo is still banging in goals in SA. Miami's problem is that they've surrounded him with a bunch of other old guys who can't run for 90 minutes either. If he was surrounded by athletic players, his guile and ability to create space and find runners around him, would be a great weapon in MLS. Instead he has Alba, Biscuits and Suarez backing him up. If Miami are smart, they should jettison them all for next season, save a ton on wages and reinvest in young, quality talent, with Messi there to pull the strings. He probably has 1-2 more seasons left in him as a top player in MLS.

Outside of MLS he, like Ronaldo, is finished. Perhaps with the exception of international football, which is just inherently slower and less organised than club football.

Messi probably requested Beckham to sign his mates. Beckham wants the headlines and probably agreed immediately because these famous Barca legends would get the club a lot of eyeballs.

Messi always backed Suarez even when he was costing Barcelona in every big game in the CL. Suarez was awful in the CL post 2016 and one of the biggest reasons for their numerous humiliations in Europe.

He's still more than able to give the MLS a run for its money, given the Sunday League level there.

He's a pensioner enjoying his life in Miami, playing for shit ang giggles and having fun with his old teammates whilst being paid a king's ransom. Fair play to him, he has nothing to prove and his immense legacy is set in stone.

The more worrying thing is those who got hyped after a freekick and thought that he still could hack it at the top level.

Did people actually expect Inter Miami to even be able to compete with PSG? Peak version of himself let alone his 38 year old version wouldn't have manager it. Some comments here are just nonsensical.

Nope. He's finished. Has been for a while now. He already looked off the pace in the CL for PSG too.

Maybe he can still do it in the lower intensity of international football or one off games for Argentina when surrounded by the right teammates.

He'll drag any top level CL team down now. Father time is undefeated. Some of the Messi meatriding is absolutely crazy and even puts the Ronaldo fanboys to shame. :lol:

And Lewandowski is???

It wasn't just the freekick, even in this massacre he still was the only one doing sthg. When you put him in a better context like the NT that knows what he brings and not, he still produces (yet Scaloni better hurry up with some modifications in the team and add new blood and manage Messi more like an extra edge than the team revolving around him).

Another matter it's to carry like he does Inter Miyami, at some point even in MLS or Concacaf in general it will ends at some point being too much.

Nah he didn't...seriously, subreddit? you are quite a character.

You already put some Man Utd fans a tad mad with some over the top and at times not even necessary defense of Cris, you'll have to revisited that Man Utd agenda.

I don't agree with some of Kwabs views, yet you had lots of over the top statements in the Cris thread and now this silly twitter here. Anyway, I don't think you actually can trully see it, maybe you are actually extremely convinced about some of your views, so who knows.
 
I thought we'd stop bringing THAT other player on Messi's thread, and vice versa. Goes out the window, it seems.

Alright bro, I clearly have a different pairs of eyes. Let's just disagree there, because I am clearly seeing Messi's intention to punch Vitinha but apparently you don't.

Just please tell me what are my supposed "over the top" opinions? You need to show me the examples just like I showed over the top statements of Kwabs. Just a couple of examples that you consider "over the top".

And yea bro, Man utd fans aren't monolith. Some love Cris, others don't. No one is denying that. He's isn't the first one nor he is the last (former) Utd player who divides the opinion of its fans.

Do I actually need to? come on not more rabbit holes...if you actually are sincere and don't detect those by yourself, would be pointless, I still think that we all know the majority of times when we stretch a certain opinion to some not that reasonable extent. I'm pretty sure you alone can detect some of those things you've said, yet at the same time another portion of those you might actually be absolute convinced yourself, so that's another moot point.

Inter Miami getting to the last 16 was a great achievement, MLS team had no right to get there given the standard of their league. Messi could have retired 3 years ago so anything that happens from now is a bonus really. Obviously he’s well past his best, doesn’t mean much.

Leave me out of your bizarre ramblings, please.
 
Quite a couple of goals.
There is an odd rumour of him going to COMO, that sounds ludicrous yet could be quite cool, more if Paz stays there
 
He had one of the worse mistakes in his carreer, he assisted a rival in a quite beautifully way I might say
