Messi's legs are unbreakable. He played against Pepe and Sergio Ramos for years back to back and nothing happened to them. Is it now that we have efulefus as defenders his legs will get damaged? grin
that was then oh, playing at 28 is different from 30s, Messi is a few years older than I am and still I can't walk more than 10mins without having a back ache.Hes doing very well but If U watch Messi closely U can see the struggles on his bones.

Messi watches his diets. He trains every now and then. You don't do those things, that's it's like that for you. Messi plays football for a living. Highest number of games he can play in the world cup is 8 games. That's way too small compared to what he plays in MLS.

Me? Disagree that God exists? That's never me.

What you must have seen me do here is to enlighten people about the imprisonment of Jehovah, Allah and small small gods like them who doesn't want the development of humanity.

God Almighty is the Totality of Existence. We are all gods adding up to God Almighty. Every other person or thing in existence are just tiny microscopic fragment of God Almighty.

Jehovah, Allah, are just like microscopic ants before God Almighty. The book of MCC 12 reveals the point when they were brought to consciousness by God Almighty.

Pacesetter123:
Iran has completed their 3 group stage matches, finishing with 3 points.
How can they knock off Algeria with 3 points already with a match still remaining for them to play?
People that can even have 6 points if the manage to win their last group match that you already sent them home?
I am surprised a super mod in the sport section analyzing football like this.

WhiteIverson:
Cape Verde finished 2nd in their group while the others finished 3rd. Even if you have 2 points and finish second, you will automatically make it to the next round over someone who finished 3rd in his group with 3 points.
Really? So it's the best 2 from each group automatically while the third can fight for a space left. Never knew.
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by Bahamas95(m): 8:56am On Jun 28
The only African teams I believe stand a chance to go further are Morocco and Senegal (that's if the Senegalese up their game).


Another country I can squeeze in is Ivory Coast, these three teams play free flowing football.




I won't be surprised if Carpe Verde knocks Argentina out Sha, it's football. Anything can happen. cheesy

Ogbeni! Cape Verde qualifying has nothing to do with head to head. The came 2nd in their group and therefore qualified automatically. Cheers!!!!
I understand what am saying and I understand what you are saying. No head to head between Iran and cape Verde. My mistake. Just comparing how each went through in and out.
