Lamines season was amazing why is everyone buggin like that? He has been out at the end but why are we acting like he didnt score 25 goals and got 18 assist while with an injury at the begging and the end of the season? Won the Super Copa, La liga and the World Cup. Put some respect on his name. Jude and Mbappe should not even be top 10 for the Ballon dor. They didnt win a single thing for 2 years straight just STOP THIS NONSENSE BIAS
SCALONI TO BLAME.. Worse line up. Aged fatigue players! Why not playing youngs players? 2022 WC champion because of messi.. not of scaloni's game plan/tactical. SCALONI = TUCHEL
amazing legs ๐ฅ๐ฅ
So the difference between Portugal โRonaldo and Argentina โs Messi is that Portugal played first against Spain and lost 1-0 first ! ๐๐ Cristiano is the GOAT! Messi is the GOAT for cheaters ! Karma ! Justice ! Good football won today !! ๐ต๐นโฝ๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐ฅViva Espaรฑa! ๐ช๐ธ
The World Cup is rigged! Ask yourself the question, why has the world cup been won by only eight countries in the world, and by only two regions in the world, Europe and South America?
Using Messi to validate the MLS is like saying Albert Einsteinโs high school is actually a legit school.
No one cares where he went to high school. Loooool.
Whoever wins we all lose
Torn between supporting Spain (out of ancestry) or beautiful football (represented by Argentina). I'm gonna go with "May the best win!"
How boring with myths and legends, Lamine is a crack and plays in a young team. Spain has its sights on the present but also on the 2030 World Cup. Lamine will help win this Cup. Vamos Espaรฑa ๐ช๐ธ โค
Messi is goat, but mbappe is a beast striker, possibly best wc striker ever
It's my fault for trying to listen to these geniuses.
5:12 huh? Lamine has had the best season in his short career thus far
If Spain win the Cup, FIFA will give anyways the Bal d'or to Messi as a consolation price. They always do that. When Spain won in 2010, FiFA didnt give the price to Xavi or Iniesta, for example. They always skip Spain, that is how those individual prices works. In Spain we are into serious business, winning Cups by beeing the best TEAM, not talking about flashy networking media prices.
Espain Jeet gai
Argentina har gai
I am a big fan of Messi since 2009 . And also a big fan of Lamine Yamal. So whether Argentina win or Spain win, I don't mind.
But this time I choose Spain to win it.
Do not listen to these dumb dumb guys. How can you say Spain does not defend but defends with the ball? Do they win the ball back by just standing? People do not make any sense anymore, and yet they are featured on a big platform.
Merino vs Lautaro will decide the final!
Reigning world champions AND Copa America champions vs European champions
Why is everyone underrating Argentina yet they are the champions? This is going to surprise so many people.
Messi is finished, time to get out. Go Spain ๐ช๐ธ
Pls don't overhype and spoil the career of yamal. No doubt he is a good player. He has still to prove himself ๐ฎ
IDK whoโs this guy at 10:46 but he doesnโt know ball. If Spain didnโt suffer because they controlled the match and dominated the game. Argentina won over easy drawing and referees helped. This conversation is not helping any youth to understand the ball and that is why MLS is still the weakest league despite the dollars spent
For sure Argentina will be Owen by 3 :2 . we will take after my prediction will exist
Any comparison. Of Messi with a beginner is insane and outrageous. Please respect the legend.
They really be giving a mic and platform to anyone now. Some of these takes are terrible. ๐
5:00 "Good season, but not up for his standards"… Lil bro had his best season yet, while fighting pubalgia and hamstring injuries.
I do agree a bit that he might not win the Ballon D'or even if Spain wins, but that's a stupid take
My World ๐ Cup ๐ is CA๐ฒHโผ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Blame meโ๏ธ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฅฐ
For the record, Argentina is not only defending world champions but they are the South American CONMEBOL Copa America Champions.
