Tonnyray:
Just imagine if Messi had quit as he was determined to some 5 years or so ago after heavy criticism on not being able to deliver on the international level.
GOD surely loves our "midget" beyond human comprehension.
His story is an inspiration for all times.

Messi in 5 copa america finals , 0 goals 0 assists

Argentina won the 2024 Copa América championship 1-0 over Colombia after snatching victory with an extra-time goal in the 112th minute of a scoreless match.

Lautaro Martinez, who was the competition’s leading scorer with five goals, blasted a shot past Colombia goalie Camilo Vargas on a breakaway following a turnover.

Argentina, who were the defending champions of the tournament as well as World Cup winners in 2022, were the favorites of the tournament and never trailed during the competition.

But they were forced to win the title without arguably the sport’s greatest player when Lionel Messi was subbed out in the 66th minute with an ankle injury.

The game was marred by a delay of more than an hour after fans, many of whom didn’t have tickets, rushed the stadium and tried to get inside.

Video posted on social media showed fans, mostly wearing Colombia’s yellow and red colors, jumping over security railings near the southwest entrance of the stadium and running past police officers and stadium attendants. Screams could be heard in the background.

A handful of people could be seen receiving medical treatment and asking for water in the sweltering South Florida heat. Officers were able to push the crowd behind the gates and lock down the entrance so that no one could get inside, although plenty of fans with tickets had already made it to their seats before then.

Once the game got underway, Colombia started energetically and had several chances for the opening goal, testing Argentina’s goalie Emiliano Martínez.

Messi, arguably the greatest soccer player of all time, joined Inter Miami of Major League Soccer in 2023 after two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain and more than 20 at Barcelona.

The 37-year-old forward has bowed out of the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics and the next World Cup is almost two years away.

The result broke Colombia’s 28-game international win streak that dates back to February 2022, also a loss to Argentina. Colombia played without defender Daniel Muñoz, who was sent off following an altercation and a second yellow card in the first half against Uruguay in Wednesday night’s semifinal.

You don't how far man can go to get power. Is possible they staged it and kill some innocent to make it look real. Anything is possible

maestro299:
Pennsylvania, Louisiana and some other states of the Union practice closed voting. The opposition can weaponize this during the primaries to vote against candidates that are most threatening to their own man. This was why Nikki Haley, an unpopular candidate in the Republican Party was having so much votes when she was contesting against Trump. It was basically Democrats that were voting her.

Goodvibes007:
Nothing strange there. Alot of Republican turned their backs on Trump. They call them Never trumper and Republican voters against Trump.

That guy would vote some one like the Florida's governor De santis or Hailey or Pence, but Never Trump.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
you be confirmed weyrey mumu promax, how did rifle get close 200m yard close to campaign ground under heavy security on US soil

DaddyCoool:
Some Dems registered as Republicans during the primary to vote against Trump

Mrexcell:
Very pathetic people how can trump script something like this that he himself can't even predict or guarantee that he will survive at the end of the day?

This theory is not just popular among Nigerians. Many black-American folks share the same stupidity.

MUNICH (AP) — Lamine Yamal became the youngest player ever to score at the European Championship when the 16-year-old netted a stunning goal for Spain in its European Championship semifinal 2-1 victory over France on Tuesday.

Yamal will turn 17 on Saturday, a day before the final in Berlin against either England or the Netherlands.

“I only ask to win, win and win,” said Yamal, who was voted player of the match. “I will celebrate my birthday in Germany with my team.”

Yamal struck in the 21st minute, curling the ball past France goalkeeper Mike Maignan from around 25 yards and into the top left corner.

“I don’t know if it is the best goal of the tournament, but it is the most special goal for me because it is my first goal with the team at a European Championship,” he said.

Yamal is 16 years and 362 days old. The previous youngest scorer at a European Championship was Swiss player Johan Vonlanthen (18 years, 141 days), against France at Euro 2004.

We are very happy to reach the final. Now comes the most important part — winning the title,” Yamal said. “We were in a difficult stretch after not expecting to concede so early. I just took the ball and wanted to put it right there.

Yamal came to Euro 2024 with a bunch of “youngest” records, and has inevitably set more. He became the youngest player to feature at a men’s Euro when he started in Spain’s opening 3-0 win over Croatia.

The Barcelona teenager was already the youngest player to debut and score in the Spanish league at 15, the youngest player to start in the Champions League and the youngest to score for Spain.

“We saw a touch of genius by a great player who we all know and have to nurture forward,” Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said. “And I can only advise him to keep going forward with the same humility and work ethic and with his feet firmly on the ground."

Yamal’s goal Tuesday canceled out Randal Kolo Muani’s opener for France — that was set up by Kylian Mbappé, who was playing without a mask.

Spain turned the match around four minutes after Yamal’s equalizer when Dani Olmo’s goal-bound shot was turned into the net by France defender Jules Koundé. It was originally adjudged by UEFA to have been an own-goal but was later awarded to Olmo.

“They scored first but we planned well for the game and stuck to our plan. Lamine scored a great goal,” Olmo said.

Yamal almost nabbed another spectacular goal nine minutes from time with a powerful strike that flew narrowly over the crossbar.

“When there was only half an hour to go I was thinking that we were going to the final,” Yamal said. “I could only think that.”

ThierryJay:

MrBrownJay1:
EXACTLY!!!! if south American teams were so great, then so many more would have won the WC by then. take away Brazil and Argentina, the last time another South American team won the world cup was 70 fucking years ago.

NonsenseRubbish:
Mugu wetin bring match with Estonia into this convo now ??
I simply said euros is a tougher tournament because they play against World Cup regular contenders. Comprende??
Why will euros not be tougher with the likes of Croatia, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, England, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, etc.
Copa america has only 3 or 4 contenders.
Also that yarn that Copa America has Uruguay, Brazil and Uruguay who are World Cup winners na dust. When last did Uruguay or Brazil win it ?? Copa America no follow joor
I’m very sure you follow euros tournament more than Copa America .
The World Cup is just a bigger tournament because it’s worldwide and it’s brings countries together
