  1. Enjoy him while you still can!!! …He really plays like he's not from this planet. There probably won't be anyone like him for quite a while imo… definitely the GOAT, no question about it! Greetings from Europe!

  2. Messi is the best player of all time ever seen in the history.πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ†πŸ₯‡πŸ†

  3. I've watched Messi's entire career, and I know I'll never witness another footballer like him. Maradona is my second favorite.

    I'm not an emotional person, yet I know the day Messi retires will be different. Because for many of us, he was never just an athlete. Watching Messi wasn't simply watching footballβ€”it was watching greatness, joy, and life itself.

  4. It was not only Messi. before him. Zlatan, Beckham and other people contributed too. USA made the right decision on Soccer. The most popular sport in world should be the most popular in USA too. $$$$$$$
