Just show how terrible it is only to comment and not to watch… his goal was with Argentina, so nothing to do with MLS.Another free kick goal. Just goes to show how terrible the MLS is.

It was a joke ffsJust show how terrible it is only to comment and not to watch… his goal was with Argentina, so nothing to do with MLS.
Sportswashing vehicle for Ron DeSantisAnother free kick goal. Just goes to show how terrible the MLS is.
Change the record.Sportswashing vehicle for Ron DeSantis
Crazy image but whatever makes you feel superiorChange the record.
Wasn't it more fun to just be the site's resident contrarian rather than twerking for theocratic absolute monarchies in every thread?

He's already said the 2022 one would be his last.Messi doing Messi things.
I actually thought he was taking a sabbatical from Argentina duty for rest of 2023?
Looks like he's still fully committed and I think he'll be there in 2026 which will probably be his retirement at his sixth World cup.
I don't know, he's still committed to their team given there's no really need to play from start of Commebol given six now get through automatically.He's already said the 2022 one would be his last.
Although he did say it during the 2022 World Cup, his language has changed in recent months. He'll be approaching the tournament with a different mindset. He doesn't need to win it, so, the pressure won't be there like it was. But, with the Copa America and the World Cup taking place in the USA, and given his massive spike in popularity in North America, I wouldn't rule it out as some culmination of his Inter Miami era.He's already said the 2022 one would be his last.
If Messi makes the next world cup and Im not even sure he will be walking. He'll just stand still and pass the ball and be a set piece specialist.Although he did say it during the 2022 World Cup, his language has changed in recent months.

That's fine. They can just wheel him out every four years. 2026, 2030, 2034, 2038, etc.If Messi makes the next world cup and Im not even sure he will be walking. He'll just stand still and pass the ball and be a set piece specialist.
Surely that can't be right?Funny stat.
Messi is the last person to score a free kick for Argentina, Inter Miami, PSG and Barcelona.
And he will still somehow win the Ballon D'orIf Messi makes the next world cup and Im not even sure he will be walking. He'll just stand still and pass the ball and be a set piece specialist.
Apparently so. The only free kick scored was Raphinha in a pre-season friendly, so it isn't official.Surely that can't be right?
Mental, I feel its like a dying art. A lot more FKs used to be scored before.Apparently so. The only free kick scored was Raphinha in a pre-season friendly, so it isn't official.
Very strange since Lewandowski is also rather good at them. But he has only been there for one season.Apparently so. The only free kick scored was Raphinha in a pre-season friendly, so it isn't official.
Wooshhh!Just show how terrible it is only to comment and not to watch… his goal was with Argentina, so nothing to do with MLS.
Im sure he will get a post memorium ballon d'orThat's fine. They can just wheel him out every four years. 2026, 2030, 2034, 2038, etc.

Where is he all time with free kick goals now?
Edit: level with Becks with 65.
Imagine how many free kick goals he'd have if he hadn't shared free kicks with Xavi, Dinho, Iniesta, Neymar, etc, all these years.He knew that was a goal as soon as he made contact, thats insane
Mans brain works faster than any living footballer. He'll probably be able to fake professionals into his late 30s, when he's way into retirement.
Tbh i think he only became insanely good at them later on otherwise he would be first on duty. Atm he's Beck's lvl where any freekick near the box almost feels like a penalty.Imagine how many free kick goals he'd have if he hadn't shared free kicks with Xavi, Dinho, Iniesta, Neymar, etc, all these years.
He's too generous for his own good. He couldn't give a feck if he takes penalties either.
Just checked the stats and interestingly they're both on 65 frees for their career.Tbh i think he only became insanely good at them later on otherwise he would be first on duty. Atm he's Beck's lvl where any freekick near the box almost feels like a penalty.
He can probably catch Pelé but even if he manages to catch Juninho, then Juninho is still the best free kick specialist of all time. He could score them from almost anywhere.Just checked the stats and interestingly they're both on 65 frees for their career.
I saw a stat that he's scored an almost identical amount of FK's and Penalties since 2018. I dont know if its true though.Messi has 31 of his 65 free kicks since 2018.
Its true. Messi has scored exactly 31 goals from penalty and free kicks since 2018. Exact number Crazy a player is so good in free kicks, isn't perfect when it comes to penalty kicks. Maybe has to do with his shy behaviour. Although he has also been cold during some key moments for penalty kicks.I saw a stat that he's scored an almost identical amount of FK's and Penalties since 2018. I dont know if its true though.
Yeah he has a perfect record in the classicos when it comes to penalties, but he's fecked up a few other big ones. Its always been weird that someone who's got such a mental football iq and is like an alien in other aspects of the game is an only slighty above average pentalty taker.Its true.

He’s also retired from international football about 15 times.He's already said the 2022 one would be his last.
yeah & he already deserved to win at least 9 but they change it depends on Mess’s yearAnd he will still somehow win the Ballon D'or
What's this narrative about Messi retiring from international football?He’s also retired from international football about 15 times.
although in fairness he has improved quite a bit at PK’s. Was superb in the WC at them.Yeah he has a perfect record in the classicos when it comes to penalties, but he's fecked up a few other big ones.

He 100% deserved it this yearAnd he will still somehow win the Ballon D'or
In fact he should have 15 so far. He’s been the best since 2008.He 100% deserved it this year
It looks like Messi has learned Neymar's penalty-taking technique in PSG and now is much better at it.although in fairness he has improved quite a bit at PK’s. Was superb in the WC at them.
