Qatar championship was basically organized so he could be "the best", and refs just ignore half of the things he does which is both really shameful and unnecessary.
You do if you wanna keep your fans happy. People wanna see their favorite athletes style on their opponents. Hell you can make an entire career out of just showing off Just look at the Harlem Globetrotters.
There's only one person in this entire world that's an incredible twat at absolutely anything, except being recognized without being named, even if that's nothing of their own doing.
It's long past this is American-only, or simply soap opera. Multiple truths can coexist at the same time and that includes FIFA being a political organization and Messi being a magnificent performer.
And if an online comment is enough to ruin your appreciation of football, and you have to ask for it to not exist, maybe it's not that much of an appreciation after all.
Hope you have a wonderful day including all these truths.
I know FIFA is compromised. It gave a "peace prize" to a war mongering idiot. FIFA has capitulated to the current admin in ways that makes them directly complicit with the shit-show we have nowadays. Your comment was just forced. This was literally a post to admire one individual's soccer skills and you found a way to make it political.
There’s a time and a place for everything. I probably hate Trump as much as you…a thread highlighting good ole fútbol’n doesn’t need him to taint it.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. "There's a time and place for everything" is a completely different take than "don't ruin soccer..." followed by saying "your comment didn't ruin..."; so while I now understand and agree with what was wrong on my side, I hope you can see what you could have done better on yours.

That dude is pretty good. He should try to play professional sportsball. He might make some money.
jzbstl
I’m not much for sportsball, but I recognize some of these players are just ridiculously talented.

Find Ronaldo

The stutter pk is lame, but maybe he doesn't like that keeper. The rest are just absurd displays of skill.
Blze001
The control he has over the ball is astounding.
pseudoersatz
Okay … that one penalty kick was dickish comedy gold.

This Messi guy seems pretty good at football. He could be going somewhere.

mrsdowneyjr
I legit didn't read before watching and thought it was just highlights from the world cup. This is all one dude? Damn
linexnewt
This is exactly how I would look if I played football. (and I mean the guys falling over and getting completely owned)
KaJuN
What a save!
Aefinn
Ronaldo? No Ronaldo in this post.
CerealFirstOrWaterFirst
this guy wouldn't get one goal past Scott Sterling the best goal keeper in history
IliveIdyeIliveagain
You mess with Messi, you get Messi

Ah yes, the tax cheat.

And he looks so "bland". Like, if I saw him, I wouldn't think that this guy's good at football... :P

you mean Cristiano Ronaldo, then. Messi, for an Argentinean, is actually pretty humble.
TimVergeer
You can clearly see him humiliating his opponents. If you're that good, you don't have to be a show off.
And he should have been red-carded last match.

Your comment didn’t ruin my appreciation for fútbol. It made me eye-roll.
