10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[xXKonan]

According to MD, Messi's entourage denied the rumor that he's upset with Barça and the other rumor he was considering leaving in 2018.

He did his best to rally the team even though he couldn't play. And he gave full credit to his teammates and coaches for the win. I think he has matured as a person and that is good to see.

Are we talking about a guy who starts pretending to be the coach after Eder's goal just to be in the media reports all over the world. Majority of what this guy does is for the media. His ego couldn't handle that they played 100 minutes without him and managed to win in the end, so he had to show himself because he knows anything he does will end up on the front pages.

The day after, no one talked about Rui Patricio, Pepe, Nani, Eder, or great team performance but the story of a day was whether Ronaldo was going to be good manager. Guy even had to call a stretcher just to be in extreme center of attention, even though he was able to walk and jump around.

it goes way too far saying he was non-existant. Ronaldo definitely had a fair share of contribution in Portugals route to the final, he was involved in almost alll their goals. If he wasn't Ronaldo, people would have acknowledged that he had a good tournament, just not "outstanding"

If he wasn't Ronaldo his tournament would be remembered as will be the one of Nani or Giroud.

1 win in 7 games. Played against minnows (up against West Brom and Icelandic first division defenders) most of the time. Meh.

Agreed, Portugal were in a winning position for a grand total of 73 minutes over the course of their 7 games. It was a joke they even qualified for the knockout stages. Finishing 3rd actually benefited them as otherwise they'd have been up against England, France then Germany before the final rather than Croatia, Poland and Wales.

Carlos Cruzado (president of the Spanish tax inspectors union) on #WeAreAllLeoMessi campaign: "Our view is that a campaign of solidarity, such as the one being run at the moment by Barcelona, in support of people who have defrauded the public purse isn't something that exactly improves the tax conscience of Spaniards."

The club standing by Messi and asking everyone to support Messi, is it directly challenging the verdict and trying to vindicate Messi? I thought the club is standing with Messi and supporting him through this difficult time only.

Who cares what the corrupt Spanish government think, they can go fuck themselves. Barca is doing the right thing standing by Messi. Besides Messi pays more in taxes in a month than most do in a lifetime.

It's getting nauseating with the excuses and need to raise Messi here.
I don't like Ronaldo, but he has certainly gained my respect in the past few days and I congratulate him for his accomplishment with the NT. You could really tell how much it meant to him for Portugal to win. He called it the greatest joy in his career even though he went off injured. He did his best to rally the team even though he couldn't play. And he gave full credit to his teammates and coaches for the win. I think he has matured as a person and that is good to see.

Did you forget what he said about Iceland just a few weeks ago? You're giving Cristiano too much credit
