>>157047740yeah, fun times were had with him in this generation
>>157047740Respect for what?
>>157047740More than ever
not since i found out he was a tattletale
>>157047740Yes, he's the best ever. Him making a 3rd World Cup Final is only going to add to his legacy. Plus, he already won one, so it's not like it's gonna be held against him too much.
>>157047740I never respected any soccer player. It is a sport for liars and cheats. It is accepted culture for players to play act so they can get an advantage. It is accepted culture to just accept everything a referee says even if it is glaringly wrong. You are supposed to pretend it is a serious sport or whatever when the guy next to you might scream about you breathing on him the wrong way or scratching your nose while moving your mouth. Inherently low trust and subhuman.
Only when he post a picture of his wife naked
lost a fair bit of respect for him at this cup, which sadly isn't all his faulthe gets guilt by association for his crooked ass team paying off FIFA to meme them into a finals they wholly did not deserveand you could make the argument he was too old for this cup, but it wasn't near as bad as >penaldo being shoehorned onto the portuguese team which was plain and obvious nepo shit
>>157047740The snitching thing was hilarious, don't know how people are seriously pressed about that. Cucurella is a rat too so his reaction was funny.
I only respect people who impress me on the biggest stage. Messi definitely did that this WC. Did good last WCBut before Messi was 35 he was donkey dicks...stat padding in a farmers league playing for a Global All-Star Team that wears a big commercial brand logo across their chest ...that impresses me zero
>>157047807It was really funny seeing Cucurella act like a big brother trying to stop his little brother from telling mom
>>157047740He redeemed himself in Argentina. I wouldn't say he was hated, but he wasn't very loved either before 2021.
>>157047740I have zero respect for a cheating snitch
>>157047740He is going to be killed soon, as Kobe was. Goat symbolism is about being sacrifice.
>>157047740If you hate him you are a faggot. He's the greatest player ever. 20 years fun times. Thanks for everything goat.
>>157047740I grew up watching him so and the amazing stuff he does on the pitch so obviously it's really difficult for me to lose respect for him, yeah he did some dumb things in this final but that was just out of desperation so I understand why he did them tho I don't justify it. It's a shame that he gets a lot of shit for being the captain of this bunch of fools.
>>157047740He's literally the greatest 5'7" man to have ever lived.
>>157047775Because he's all you have AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
>>157047740we short kings will always respect him
>>157047740He's always the goat
>>157047786at 44? really?
>>157047740Yes. His last 40 minutes vs England were pure kino. It's amazing he is 39.
More than ever. The greatest of all time, robbed of his final honour by a bald fat amphibian retard.
>>157047740He made football entertaining, now we are stuck with the new meta of spanish anti-football, enjoy I guess.
>>157047989What players do usanians have?
>>157047740I never respected him. Hee was part of the Farca team that cheated and dived and embellished their way to trophies and one of the reasons I stopped watching football.>>157049202He was part of one of the originators of shitty taka
Not really concerned with respecting him and never was. He's not my friend, just an extremely good footballer.
>>157049473>was part of the Farca team that cheated and dived and embellished their way to trophiesExamples?>inb4 muh ChelseaBarca also had decisions go against them, doesn't mean the match was a robbery.
>>157049211All of them? You know we can watch all of it right?
>>157047740He's my hero
>>157047740Never did
Yes.
>>157047740Yes playing for Argentina, when he could have played for Spain.
>>157047740I don't really have any idols, but he did good. Should have retired after Qatar with Di Maria though, these monkeys he had to carry are not worth it
>>157047740Yeah, it was the surprise of the WC for me that he's still this good at 39. Never liked him personality wise but his GOAT status is cemented now.
Always found him grossly overrated (barca baby) but he was still great and fun to watchThe riggi since 2021 has only made me hate this retarded little manlet. Happy the final exposed this fraud
>>157047775HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
never have. he literally cried and quit the national team for a bit because they wouldn't rig results for him like they did at Barcelona
Before you answer or for those who already answeredSee>>157043034
>>157047740Yes, always. I will not elaborate further.
He was undeniably great in this world cup but he still kind of ruined his reputation of being a respectable player who doesn't dive or bitch about calls. Also he did have that episode before winning anything with Argentina where he wanted to quit the team, that was pretty patheticAlso even if it was a legit medical thing he's only who he is because he got an exemption to take copious amounts of HGH, which is banned in basically all sports.Anyway, he's still the best player I've ever seen, probably the best of all time, but I wouldn't say I respect him.
>>157047775Heh
>>157049803The spaniards playing dirty for the whole match? Or the ref clearly working in Spain favor?
>>157049908Watch the video.
>>157047775
>>157049860>best player ever seen>copious amounts of legal HGHyeah there is a big correlation here
>>157047740Yes, obviously. I don't have strong feelings about the final because the whole thing just feels strange. Why were Argentina so ineffective? Why were Argentina so angry? It just feels like something is missing. And yeah Messi looks bad here but he's still the greatest player ever.
>>157047740Yes, maybe the alphoomers won't know this, but he was good.Sad to see him ruin his legacy like this.
>>157047740Best player, shitty lad. A pecho frio snitch.
>>157047740He is a cheating scumbag like the rest of his team. Only reason people give him a pass is because he is clearly autistic and dorky compared to his thug buddies
>>157047740>StillNever did. He's always been an overhyped fraud, and a terrible human being. Why did it take so many people so long to understand that? Did they really never watch his games before and just listened to pundits?
>>157047740pecho frio besa paredes
>>15704774080% of his fans don't watch him play
>>157047815>be an annoying cunt for years>"wtf why do they hate me so??"extremely semitic-coded attitude
>>157047740If I have a son, I'll give him his damn name
>the cuck Messi begging for jannies' helpVS>the chad Dictator directing the jannies
tsubros, we're so back
It's pathetic, but you can't say Messy didn't try to win this one.
>>157051640Please don't. A kid gets bullied for a name like "Pissi".
>>157051752LIES!
>>157047740>still
Can someone explain whythefuck covered mouth is a rasict gesture??? Maybe I want to yawn?
>>157051784Because Argentinians do it all the time when they insult dark skinned players of opposing teams to hide it from refs. No joke. We literally got that shitty rule because of their fucking racism. Them then trying to abuse that rule against people whiter than themselves is just the cherry on top.
>>157051784I saw a discussion on that on national tv. The explanation was something like, there is no good reason to put your hands before your mouth unless you want to insult someone. The irony however is that you can say nigger without moving your lips
>>157047775>the more the player cheats, the more I like himaverage argie, at least that one is honest
>>157047740genuinely pathetic behaviour, but his countrymen probably all thought it was very honorable and noble.>their manager crying and bawling after losing playing the most disgusting dishonourable brawler ragebait "football" ever seen, having 0 awareness of the fact that his team were lucky to not get removed from the pitch for bringing the game into disreputeThey just don't have any self-awareness, they genuinely act subhuman.
>>157047740He's still the goat, but snitching is so lame and sad.
>>157051784Because an Argentinian was known for always covering his mouth with his shirt before calling every dark skinned player rapid fire slurs in every game then getting them sent off because there was no proof of what he did.
Great player, I respect that Lil fagI don’t respect that part
>>157047815They all wear big brands across the chest…
>>157047740>Do You Still Respect Him?never have
>>157047740An awful way to go out during your last match in all honesty. An unnecessary blemish on his stellar career>>157047775Based
>>157047740Yes, he’s a great footballer plus what he did to cuckrella was based af and his wife is hot
>>157051816Damn I never realized how based they are. Guess I should check them out
>>157051784Prestianni allegedly called Vini a nigger, but as his mouth was covered there was no room for VAR intervention or even further action against him in court. The rule is meant to stop players from insulting each other with deniability.
>>157047953It has everything...iterally grew up from school to now watching his genius.
>>157053442I don't understand the problem - he factually is a nigger so how is that an insult?
