“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.” - Vince Lombardi

All their other playere are liability offensively when they have the ball. They should all also retire?

Thank God the World Cup is finally over. I have been running on 2hrs of sleep per day over the last month. Unhealthy

this is when Messi couldn't hold back his tears after hearing his chants. And not just Argentina fans, even Spain fans were chanting his name. This is what he has achieved. People will forever love you GOAT 🐐🩵

Who made that tackle on Senesi in the end? I saw it already ending up in the goal man ffs that was insane

Messi is a serial winner, but you know what else. He's tier one at taking loses on the chest too. No tantrums, no fights, no excuses, just straight up accepts defeats, watches the winners lift the trophy and walks away.

لا تحكم على ردة الفعل قبل ما تشوف مين السبب 🇦🇷🇪🇸 سبب ضرب باريديس لـ غافي؟👇

This reminds me of LeBron carrying shit teams to NBA Finals and then getting mocked when that shit team gets rinsed by a superteam in the Finals. Use your brains. The fact that he even got this team to a final, let alone at 39, is a crazy achievement.

He got more criticism for leading his team to a final than the other guy got for not even sniffing the business end of the competition. Hilarious standards

Didn’t have his best tournament but I won’t forget what I saw pre injury…

Alemania en 2014 ganó la final robando descaradamente a Argentina, pero justo ahí los moralistas no decían nada. Lo de siempre con esta gentuza, les aterra que un sudamericano pelee arriba. Son xenofobos y los venden como los buenos, cuando son todo lo contrario. Hipocritas.

GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

Que te voy a decir ídolo, nos hiciste creer a todos que era posible una vez más. Con 39 años fuiste el mejor jugador de la Copa del Mundo. Nos diste todo, nos hiciste volver a ilusionarnos y nos diste lo mejor durante 20 años. Si este fue el último baile, gracias por todo Lionel.

18-year-old Wayne Rooney at EURO 2004, taking the mick out of Pires, Zidane and others alike. Sit back and enjoy genius.

So Messi is the one that let him get away with it?
