Another title loss without Iniesta or Di Maria? Usual business :pique:

At least it shows that the players let EV down, you dont lose 0-3 and 0-4 because of the manager but because the weak mentality, 1 leg is difficult but for 2 legs my friends you need a strong mind, a very strong mind 💯

But i dont understand how these MLS things works, every second week is a play off match 🤣
Show me CR7's trophies :valverde2:

Watched the game yesterday. Yes good header .. but over all.

LEO IS FINISHED . Retire in peace goat

Why would he retire If he still enjoys playing football? Because some forum members can't stop comparing him to his old self? :lol: People need to realise his best days are far behind him. He has 37 years and he is enjoying his life in Miami. Miami just won Supporters shield, so this season is still a success for them. In case he stays healthy he will probably retire after 2026 WC. He owns nothing to no one and he deserved to play as long as he wants. Same goes for Cristiano. They are not burden for their clubs, it's not like they are still in Barcelona or Madrid.

Regarding NT football he is still contributing to Argentina and people adore him. It's logical for him to play Finalissima and another WC and retire after that. If anyone deserved that right, he did. People just need to realise that he won't be a crucial player for Argentina anymore and that's more than normal. It's just a circle of life.

I never got that either. He's enjoying himself, plays a little football with his friends, earns good money and has the experience of living in another country together with his family. And he should throw all that away because some looser on some forum imagined end of his career differently?
Trolls going to troll.

Exactly. Does anyone expect that Argentina will win another WC? I sincerely doubt that's possible. Maybe in one game against Spain, in Finalissima they could have a chance. However, IMHO Spain is a big favourite in that match. Is that important for Leo's legacy? Absolutely not, not even a bit. Trophies are not important anymore in his career, he has plenty of them so let him enjoy his life In Miami.

Everybody wants Leo to play, from teammates to coaches to fans and to Leo himself, so why wouldn't he? Even if they are wrong and they would be better without him (doubt it), it's their decision. The same goes for other players like CR7. It's obvious he's a liability for Portugal for years but if everybody wants him there, it's their decision.

When we'll look on his career if a few years/decades no one will talk about his post WC22 years, it just doesn't matter regarding his legacy. Who judges Pele for his USA stint or Maradona for his Sevilla games?

I don't know by expecting them to win, but Argentina is certainly one of the favorites for the WC alongside Spain. Of course, a lot of things can change in a 1.5 years

Di Maria is a huge loss but at his age, he's more of a sub for Messi. I would say that overall, Argentina 2024 is stronger than Argentina 2022. Team is more experienced, has a winner mentality, most of the key players will be in their prime, with a stronger squad depth and more importantly, there's no pressure for them anymore that they have to win it for Messi anymore. WC26 will also be the first time that Messi goes into a WC without any pressure. Why wouldn't there be any reason why Argentina can't win the WC? Another WC for Messi at his age is huge for his legacy.
