@MultiPolarMacro @post_liberal “Performative humble”. Messi genuinely doesn’t give a fuck lmao, what makes you think he is performative,

@post_liberal Ronaldo gives ‘I worked for this; it wasn’t handed to me’ whereas Messi seem destined to rule and is performative humble
English
Lionel Messi had the more small-c conservative background: a stable, Catholic, two-parent upbringing. Yet he is preferred by left-wingers. Cristiano Ronaldo grew up in much poorer and more precarious circumstances. Yet he is preferred by right-wingers.

@gasipo_opinions Finding this again after another recent tweet pretty much said the same thing
English
@Halalcoholism Messi is a fucking centrist lmao, and he actually doesn’t fuck with the left wingers in Argentina bc during covid he donated some oxygen tanks and those morons didn’t use them lol, so definitely more right leaning
Still that info is on point

@justheretosay12 Some other dude said the exact same thing years ago, and if i recall correctly it also takes into consideration the possibility of inducing into conspiracy theories lmao (guess who leans into conspiracies)

Thank you for finally putting some form of survey/research into something I have always felt intuitively. This isn't even about party politics but tendencies and patterns.

@BenPiggot Because it’s based around their brand of football (Messi the team player/ideal teammate - Ronaldo the self-driven, record-obsessed player)
It just happens that Ronaldo actually embodies it beyond the pitch. Messi is an awkwardly ignorant centrist lmao
English
This is honestly pretty interesting. I'm a bit surprised Messi codes as left as this, because he in no way demonstrates he is left-wing
But not surprised at all by Ronaldo, who is basically the world's most famous manosphere influencer.

@LLawliet126 @mussy03_ It really is man. I’m actually surprised people just caught on this, I’ve been saying it for years.
Ronaldo caters to these hipermasculine fantasies. He has literally built a brand around it.
Self-obsessed, individualistic, “get rid of everyone”, etc.
English
@mussy03_ It's not about Ronaldo himself, you are criticizing his fans for being inspired by him, typical left wing "manosphere" nonsense talking point
English
Im not even surprised, the manosphere worships Ronaldo the way they did with 2022 Tate, he appeals to lost boys who seek guidance too, the whole “work hard and you will be better than people as talented as Messi” thing encapsulates this all

@FayyadAbid56038 @FriedShidou Not really. Argentina plays in a 4-4-2 formation

reading blue lock before learning anything abt real soccer was a fascinating experience for me bc imagine my surprise when I found out Lionel Messi was a midfielder
I thought midfielders were bitches who just suck too much at soccer to be proper strikers. he just got a hat trick

Individual preference predictors for Messi:
1) Progressive ideology
2) Interest in politics
3) Highly educated
Ronaldo:
1) Short video consumption
2) High self-confidence
3) Authoritarian orientation

@brennanjp Show them the picture of Messi bathing Lamine when he was a baby lol
English
update: we're not even 1 week into this thing and World Cup fever has engulfed the country
friends who typically watch *zero* football are texting me about the Tartan Army, German Freddy, 39 yo Messi one-upping prime Mbappé & Haaland, "how good is Lamine Yamal", what games they should go to, how far the USMNT can go, etc. etc etc.
and we're still weeks away from the business end of this thing. SOAK IT UP!! the best of sports.

"there is no buzz/hype around this World Cup" we've got a title race in England, soap opera in Madrid, UCL Final in 2 weeks, NBA dominating the American sports zeitgeist... should I keep going? when it actually starts and becomes TheCurrentThing™️ it will dominate.
English
@tataeyo_tataeyo Esto fue lo que pensé durante la final de Catar, exactamente lo mismo.
Es un equipo que tiene un vínculo espiritual con su líder que constantemente les corresponde esa fé.
Español
Eso denota que más allá de su liderazgo para las cámaras, sus compañeros no se sienten respaldados por él.
Dígase, estás viendo cómo la figura del líder basada en este ideal hiper masculino está quedando anticuada, pues el mundo ahora busca personas más asertivas.
Español
@warudakumi18 @nisijima_minami Porque CR7 es, lamentablemente, un narcisista. Dentro de sus propios equipos su figura genera una aversión natural. contraria a la devoción natural que genera Messi.
Bale hace poco habló sobre cómo CR7 entraba al vestuario arrojando cosas si él no metía gol en una victoria.

@FortWorthEddie @RobhRyan @MC_of_A @ettingermentum I think you’re getting confused, or maybe I am. Zoomers is slang for Gen Z, right? 1996-2009
At least if you were born between 1996-2005 you pretty much grew up with them and actually watched them.
Gen Alphas are the ones that didn’t actually get to see shit
English
@RobhRyan @MC_of_A @ettingermentum Because if you are on TikTok and or a zoomer, you weren’t watching Messi at his peak and just know Ronaldo did a 3 peat of the UCL
English
I thought Messi v Ronaldo was going to be like one of those LeBron v Jordan or Aaron v Mays debates where it’s this indeterminable and ultimately subjective thing but this shit is so clear cut lmao you guys way oversold this.
English
@RobhRyan @MC_of_A @ettingermentum It’ll be hilarious when these kids eventually grow tf up and realize Speed and TikTok lied to them.
I think Ronaldo owes Speed a big one, without him it could’ve been basic knowledge that Messi is objectively better, but Speed gave him an insane PR boost.

@MC_of_A @ettingermentum Ronaldo seems to have somehow won the tiktok zoomers and I'm too old to understand or care why or how.

@Batman_Protocol @speakeasytlkshw Lmao you are all so stupid. Big cola is behind Ronaldo’s shit performances

@speakeasytlkshw Haha it's so obvious there is a matrix agenda on Cristiano. Every media talking head that knows nothing about football is using the same talking points. You have to be low IQ to not recognize this. I wonder if it still has to do with his Coca Cola diss in 2021.

@Raaibelis Cristiano no entra en sintonía con el juego, es distinto.
Necesita que a él le proveen de balones al área porque es incapaz de fabricar sus propias jugadas.
Messi…juega mejor al fútbol, sabe generar juego, por eso todos los balones van a él.
Español
Anoche con Argentina todos le pasaban esas pelotas a Messi y ese hombre estaba en todos lados.
En Portugal tú no ves eso, si alguien tiene una pelota, prefiere rematar mal antes de buscar a Cristiano.
