pessi u mean

@@aokiji3347 how old are you?

ig hes 7 🤣@@kado7294

Ronaldo is the goat, this fact won't change.

frrrr

you can tell from the dislikes the penaldo fans expected some cope

it was rigged blind fanboy

​@@noachmiller360what ever makes you sleep at night

Couldn't help but notice that James said on multiple occasions how everyone was wanting messi to win. How anyone would call a penalty to fulfill his dream. Hard to not recognize the bias towards him. Specially after the best award for 2023 😂 messi is Hands down one of the best players of all time. Top 3. But you cannot ignore the bias towards him in the footballing world. There's a stark contrast between the way he is cherished and how other players are not

in that moment you can see a few words come out of his mouth looking up at the sky... hes literally praying and telling his late grandmother "it could be today grandma...". thats who he´s praising every time he celebrates a goal and aims his fingers at the sky.

@@TheLautor 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i have been a messi fangirl my whole life and i never knew this. thank you for this

@@azmilog you´re very welcome I´m from Argentina, I get the insider knowledge lol. Also hes my god pretty much ☺

cindrella story made possible by Infantino and PSG owners (and before you come at me, fake Portuguese Ronaldo (Brazilian is the real Ronaldo) isn't even in the top 100 best players ever in my books).

@@heppolo What are you on about?

Tell that to Gvardiol, or the Netherlands defense lol 🤣 They had no f*cking clue where Messi was🤣

In FIFA's arms :)

@@mandoole and you are in ronaldos pants :)

exactly and i knew that he will show the world where he is, he is on the top of the world , that is where he is and nobody can take this from him.

That, but also, let's face it: it was incredible funny :)

cool username

"tear up" ? Omg, get a grip. So overdramatic

@@lordvastor98 "omg im so sigma for saying that🍷🗿"

@@lordvastor98 ok lordvastor98

@@lordvastor98what the skibidi toilet🐺🙏

I so agree. He's Truly amazing. An immaculate story teller. I wish you James, nothing but the best and great success. You really touched us and made us as coaches and fans of the game appreciate even more the magnitude of what transpired at the 2022 world cup.

NOT true, I live in Buenos Aires

Yup a grown ass man of 42 year old tearing up over something I shouldn't be but that's Messi. I don't know how I will cope after he retires...

I cried :)

I did

messi is the goat@@AveenB

Damn imagine having that power to destroy anyone at will

Do you have a timestamp for that moment? would love to go back and see it

@@FondromI looked around but couldn't find it. It happens REALLY early in the game though. Messi gave him an absolute death stare when he got up, it was awesome

Not a Vinnie Jones kind of tackle = soft and protective, imagine Sergio Ramos instead of Gvardiol...Messi would have been Salah-ed. And Sergio wouldn't even think about Messi being his club teammate at the time.

@@heppoloRamos played for Real Madrid and Messi for Barca, just because they played a year at PSG doesn't meant much. They spent their entire careers almost with Ramos trying to kill Messi and it never worked. Trying to intimidate or go physical on him just fires him up, as Gvardiol found out

Even penaldogs are crying 😂

i mean drury does cook (brew) but not so much that his surname becomes brury

Don't cry for me Argentina

It would be way better if he won in in 2014. Because now it looks like it's rigged.

he wouldve retired early..​@@perocigla4425

Me too

Should have been sent off in the semi-final. Watch the tape. He might be the greatest but between the HGH and officials it's been made easier for him.

​@@calgakispict3652HGH was 22 years ago buddy. It was needed so he could grow properly. It was needed, just like Ronaldos heart surgery.

​@@calgakispict3652his hgh are just made him normal since he lack one. Its usage follow treatment rule not dopping, it doesnt give him super powers. The only controversial officiating are just against netherland. That ref got complain from both side of the team. This rigged things come from portugal and ronaldo fanboy because their refs against morocco are argentinian but the refs team does excellent job in that match. Pepe and ronaldo miss a sitter that could make it 2-1 for portugal. Bruno also make really good chances but nothing converted.

@@user-zq7vi8lm4z honestly both those clowns should have been fined by FIFA and warned about it

@@YOUNGSTYX what does ronaldo have anything to do in this conversation?

Incredible video 🔥

What a video Jim. Goosebumps!!!

Class video Jim, really enjoyed it!

❤❤ Love this video....brought joy to my 12 hour Airport layover 👊👊 Tnx James

Damn this should have way more views wth

True

the retirement post

Without him as the, we wouldn’t be able to win the WC

Honestly if Martinez didn’t miss those sitters The game would have looked very one sided But Aussies put up a great fight , no doubt Aussie mentality is clear in cricket . Nothing less than a World Cup win

Fellow Aussie here, that game will forever live in the hearts and minds of “soccer” fans all throughout this country. 4am and the whole nation stood still. The atmosphere felt like you could slice it with a hot knife. I was alone watching this match in my house, but I had two people I was watching this match with at the time. A former friend in France, and my boyfriend who lives in England. We all wanted to see Australia win, but if there was anyone who we were okay with Australia being knocked out by, it was Lionel Messi and Argentina. ❤️🇦🇺🇦🇷

Ooo Australia I wish so hard to visit you, what a country you have!!!

You won’t be disappointed. Just watching him walk or do a simple pass is wonderful. Don’t know how to explain it. And i witnessed that historic goal at Bernabeu where he goes through the entire defense to kick Madrid out of the champions league. However, every time he touches the ball, even during warm up is a poem.

What if I, as a brazilian, did the same? That tells even more of what this little man was for this sport.

I have recorded on my phone his free kick hitting the post bar against Nigeria in WC 2018, its something beyond amazing I fulfilled my whole life dream. Before that I was watching them getting smashed by Croatia 3-0 lol :D

its takes a team to win - Messi is a big part but not the player that won it for them

I’m guessing you are not saying it was rigged right like so many Ronaldo fans are saying

​@@samplingmastersxlr8660It's not just Ronaldo fans who think so.

​@@Luso00_and then Mbambe, Weghorst, Modric and some other players that played in 2022 WC and some that didn't and said that it was all deserved for Argentina. No complaints. Weghorst said that he did not agree with Van Gala and Argentina was a deserved winner. He also said that if it was rigged the ref wouldn't have given that foul for the Dutch at the last minute of the injury time.

@lazarous1199 Is Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Diego Lugano Ronaldo fans too? Because they thought the tournament was fishy too.

@@Luso00_zlatan never said u are deluded

Are you a Portuguese, mate? Just curious

@@hi_pd Nah mate, I'm Indian wbu?

​@@deneziusarmageddonwhite7531Nice! I have Indian heritage. Born to an Australian father who is half Indian and my mom is half German and Indian. I grew up watching and playing football and cricket but most importantly, I followed both the legends - Messi and CR7 when I was 14 years old (2004). For me, Messi is an artist, CR7 is a great goal scorer.

@@hi_pd Cheers bro, yes both of them have qualities that must be cultivated by other individuals in order to attain greatness

@@hi_pdas hazard said ronaldo is a great footballer but wen it comes to pure football messi is on another level

No había leído tu comentario e hice uno prácticamente igual Lo fuerte de Bobo es que humilla mas que cualquier insulto en verdad, justamente porque suena infantil. Pero no es una termino que usen los chicos.

Maybe that loss was needed. But I think they could have won it anyway if they started Mac Allister ahead of Lautaro and Licha ahead of Otamendi. The problem in that game was that Saudi was pressing high, and they needed another ball-playing Center back and and deep-lying ball progressor to help out Romero & Paredes who were man-marked.

Many South Americans, though we celebrate Argentina- I would love to see Netherlands become world champions one day. Dutch football makes the world cup great. All the best Dutch friends, I truly wish to see your country become world champion one day. Cruyf, Snider, Roben, Weghorst, etc etc. so many fantastic players. I will wear orange when you win

The Netherlands always seems to get so close to winning the world cup. I think they are due for a win soon.

@@Forgeries We've got a lot of world class defenders, but the midfield and attack is not as stacked. Maybe in 4-8 years.

@@Forgeries tbh i’m dutch but the Netherlands were absolutely dogshit this wc. Their only decent game was against argentina

I honestly don't get the sentiment that anyone deserves the trophy. Cruyff did more for football than the vast majority of players in history. Did he "deserve" the 1974 World Cup? I don't think so. Nor did Puskas deserve the 1954 Cup, even though Hungary were easily the best team in the world. And if you win the trophy after 2 PK wins, I just don't see where anyone deserved anything. Chile won 2 Copa America trophies by grinding out PK wins; hard for me to say they were the glorious undisputed champions of South America. It's a bit like, in an election involving many millions of voters, one candidate wins by 5 votes and then claims they have a "mandate" from the people. Messi had moments of absolute magic, but van Gaal was on to something, which is why his assistant was so mad when van Gaal said the quiet part out loud. Argentina's defense struggled late against the Saudis, Holland and France. The fact that it happened 3 times means it's not some wild coincidence. Even against Australia, Argentina were struggling late. When that happens, the most likely culprit is a tired midfield. Argentina's midfield was getting worn out covering for Messi. So mad respect to them and of course Martinez. Without their play, Messi would have no Cup. And that's one of the problems I had with the 2022 Cup - that even acknowledging Argentina's at times dominant play, the feeling was that Messi was going to get the trophy no matter what. I like and respect Messi very much, and I hated Maradona, but Maradona's victory feels more deserved than Messi's. In the meantime, I have to live with the dubious satisfaction that Holland managed to punk Argentina with the punkiest free-kick punking in the history of punkdom.

They won France with the same scoreline that they lost in 2018 4-3. I used the 4-3 scoreline because some online apps use the penalty kick out as a goal. The Croatia 3-0 game was at the same tournament in 2018. Unbelievable

This was a much better Argentina team. Alvarez, Di Maria, Mac Allister, Romero, Otamendia, Martinez, etc were the reason Argentina won.

cry me a river penaldog 😢😢😢😢

Glad you enjoyed it!

That's funny, because I thought that was the most dramatized part of the video. There is no duality, Messi was just pissed, that's it. And he was on camera, which is why he said bobo. Under his hand he'd usually say much worse throughout his whole career and anyone that watches football and speaks Spanish knows that.

There is no GOAT in football and anyone who claims there is one doesn't know football. Messi wouldn't have a wc without Martinez, Di Maria, Alvarez, Mac Allister, Romero, Otamendi, etc.

@@wefinishthisnow3883kid u r commenting everywhere saying this, u probably too small to understand why messi is called the greatest by almost all football coaches, managers, people who understands football

@@kratostherealgod8564 How effective was he in a team that wasn't already a good team without him? How many poor quality teams did he improve? How did he go with PSG? How many more trophies did he win than say Iniesta or Xavi? What % of his 2022 World Cup goals were penalties? Where was he in the other world cups when he was actually at his peak? What % of his goals were set pieces? How effective in the air was he? How good was his pressing? How good was his defending? How did he go vs top tacklers like peak Kante or VVD? Undisputed GOAT lol. It's extremely disputed.

@@wefinishthisnow3883 4 ucl, 8 ballon d'ors, the most european golden boots, 1 wc, and 2 wc golden balls, the greatest ever no doubt

@@Ldkdh So you ignored the questions and then mentioned how winning subjective popularity contests Ballon d'Or and WC Golden Balls are significant factors to what makes someone the greatest. Says it all really.

Two words: Maradonna, Cristiano. The two players that Messi has been compared with his whole life. Both of whom exude an arrogance only acceptable in society for those who have proven beyond doubt that they are special. If these three people were in the same room, I would guess that you wouldn't really notice Messi (unless there was a football in there). I think that's why he is portrayed as such, and for me, it only heightens his greatness.
