In the meantime, Vive La France!

Let’s be clear so this doesn’t get lost

GOAT means the greatest soccer player to ever live.

It's not like he has done nothing in those games, he has set up winners in knockouts even if he hasn't scored in one. He got two today. If their keeper and defence was half decent they'd have gone through and we'd be praising Messi's playmaking skills.

Plus some of the greatest players never even played in World Cups.

Word up

Pele was so great he wouldn’t let Brazil lose even when he was hurt on the bench.

Pele is the greatest team sports athlete ever. He conquered the world.

If you disagree with Messi being the best ever then the only other choice is Diego Maradona imo.

Maradona is the greatest Argentine player of all time

And if you want to argue GOAT that’s reasonable

I don’t agree but you have a case

Messi - nope

He is the best ever though. World Cups do come down to luck a bit as well.

Mbappe's transfer fee just skyrocketed! :D
