It's annoying the rate they pamper that guy, with all that gift and teammates he had played with,

Imagine if it's another player, that certainly a straight Red at worst, or else a yellow

Messi is not just any player, mate.

He is the face of football.

He is the reason why Argentina's three group stage games are already sold out.

Messi makes FIFA money, and FIFA would not be stupid enough to give their cash cow a red card in what could be his last World Cup.

The fans came to see him play one last time at the World Cup, and giving such a player a red card could be career suicide for that referee because FIFA might never use that referee in major tournaments again due to the financial impact of such a decision.

So, my brother, be valuable in life. When you are valuable, the keeper of the law may turn a blind eye to your offenses. That is how life is.

Even you would probably do the same for someone who is very valuable to you.

7 goals scored, 16 conceded, 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses . Oh well, cant say im surprised but i expected better. We move on to match day 2

It’s a fair performance if you ask me. The game is improving in nations we think are still upcoming like Iraq and Iran who are playing some good football. Even Panama see how they harassed Ghana until that late goal. The World Cup is more competitive now I must admit.

You are wicked.

So true another thing I feel Messi is naturally talented while Ronaldo put in lots of work to get to were he is
If you watch Messi recent games both MLS and Argentina last match Messi play highly intelligent game still drop deeps to defend create and all of that even at that age is is just built differently 💯

Exactly

WarHammer2000:
Ronaldo doesn't realize that Messi is a different kind of player from him.

Ronaldo is a CF/ Winger whose style of play typically involved non-stop energetic running on and off the ball and high leaps in the air to finish crosses. Certainly not a job description suitable to a 41 years old man. Even Ronaldo's dribbling and shooting style requires energy and peak fitness. What will he do now that age is catching up with him?

Messi on the other hand, is comfortable playing basically as a No. 10 with young players ahead of him to do the running while he finishes off cutbacks, one-twos and orchestrates play from deep with little or no running required.

Messi has never been a pressing type of player, his game is centered around lurking around the midfield, looking for the perfect space and opportunity to receive the ball and then surge forward. Messi's dribbling style (body feints) requires no energy and appears almost effortless, relying on pure natural instinct. His shots are more finesse and placement than raw power.

This means Messi is naturally built to last much longer than Ronaldo. It's actually a credit to Ronaldo's legendary discipline and fitness routine that he is still able to play at all but he just needs to tell himself the truth.

And Ronaldo is 41, Messi is 38 ...


This alone says alot ..

Ronaldo should atleast retire from international football

Special mention to Lilian Thuram and Diego Simeone as well.

Hello, I'm Odunayoslav

Odunayaw:
The only counterbalance to my disappointment with this underwhelming Mexican side is that they are judging the iniquity of SA.

I shall be Odunayoslav for the Czech game and Kim Yon Odun for the Korea one.

Brazil abandoned their traditional Samba football and started playing European football and that is how they lost it all. Brazil Fell off hard.

South Africa to win

Teboho Mokoena will miss the South Korea game... it only gets worse for these Southies mehn

Unless they forget again and field him...

South Africa has improved. They look more likely to score in this match. But I doubt they will. Its certainly an improvement from the last match. They are more open here. And desperate too which might cost them. If they cant beat czech they definitely cant beat Korea.

This is how they played in that Zimbabwe WC qualifying game that ended 0-0.

Hating aside, SA's biggest problem has always been 1) their attack and 2) lack of consistency. Their attack is notoriously frantic and disorganized. Their defense and midfield is actually very solid (on their best day), but where they continuously flop is converting it to organized attacking sequences that can lead to goals.
