Thanks for the explanation, Hawk. Never heard that one before.
As for Messi, it's not quite that he was ****, but everyone else around him was. There was a comment made by our guys in the after-match analysis that said basically "Messi likes to be tricky, confuse the opposition. He likes to feint. But there's no point in feinting if there's no-one there to feint to." And it's true. You can't carry a whole team on your back. Even Ronaldo, who may have seemed to have done it with Portugal, had some decent backup from his team-mates. Messi was one man trying to play against eleven. Not gonna happen. I bet he's really in the dumps now though. No matter how it plays, the press are going to crucify him and he'll be blamed for everything, which is really unfair.

Saying he ain’t the GOAT ain’t a crucifixion

We go through this with LeBron every ****ing year

It’s a tribute to Messi that he’s in a conversation for top whatever but for people to call you the GOAT you have to do the impossible

You can't carry a whole team on your back.

Even a GREAT player can’t but the GOAT makes everyone play better. I don’t know how but they do. Comparing Messi to Pele is ridiculous. Messi reminds me of Dan Marino. I don’t know his numbers but his highlights are like Marino’s. So smooth. But you gotta hoist the trophy. Argentines should be pissed. You gotta find a way to beat ****ing Croatia.
