[Heero Yuy]

Couldn't stay awake to watch past the 90 yesterday.

 

Happy Argentina went through, fuck Holland, also I don't have to hear United fans chatting shit anymore.

 

The final could easily be a repeat of the working over Brazil got though.

[The Infamous]

I doubt it Masch won't let that happen

Guys will get taken off on a stretcher

[Heero Yuy]

Masch is gonna be getting sent to next dimensions when those bermuda triangles start getting weaved.

[Davicious X]

Germany aint winning the world cup. Hubris will be their undoing.

[The Somalian]

Messi to take his place amongst the footballing immortals this Sunday.

Watch man still come up with some silly shit like "but he never performed like the GOATS"

Watch man still come up with some silly sh*t like "but he never performed like the GOATS"

But it's true though he may win the World Cup, but what made other players GOATS is they performed at the highest level and won the World Cup...

This being all said, he bangs in a Hatrick in the final and he's certified!

[Rsonist]

Short of Messi scoring a hat-trick in the final, I don't think there's any real argument that he was the standout player of this tournament or "won it on his own." He scored 4 goals in the group stages against Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria, and even in the first 2 of those games he mostly drifted in and out of the match. Even less impact in the knockout stages really. Not even just talking goals or assists, but general contribution.

 

I'm not even sure who I think the standout player of the tournament is so far, but even if Argentina do win on Sunday we haven't seen close to what Maradonna did in 86 or even what Ronaldo did in 2002. I don't think it should matter though, as what you do over a month every 4 years, shouldn't really even be in the same conversation as what you do week in week out for your whole career. But it's just the way we've been programmed to think about world cup performances.

[Michel Kane]

Can't compare Maradona to Ronaldo, sh*t, Rivaldo was probably the better player in that tournament, lol.

Spot on

Messi played shit all season strolling around the pitch like he didn't wana be there, I thought he was saving himself for the world cup. But he's been doing the same in Brazil

 

Argentina had an easy path to the final, they don't deserve to win the WC at all. Hope Germany take it

[Benicio del Toney]

Even though I agreed with Rsonist Messi has been instrumental in Argentina's run to the final.

 

His goals and assists have been the difference in games, thats all he can do.

 

It ain't the most spectacular performance ever seen in a WC but if Argentina win the WC he will have made a massive contribution.

 

He will deserve his place in the football pantheon.

[Badman]

Messi has done jack shit in the knock out stages. Hes not even top 3 Argentina players in the last 3 games

 

The reality is imo he most certainly is among the greats.........but the GOAT?

 

That's insulting
