Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[Daniele]

he had a 6,5 game
not sure it'll be so easy against australia cause their phisycality

Agree to disagree

On tonights game he played well and was finding space to do it.

That is no connected to any future game.

Temptation on a roll with braindead takes after yesterday's comments about Messi's supposedly feminine and CR's uber masculine jaw shapes

I mean yeah, even that was spot on.

None of the takes were nearly as hilarious as Messibois trying to portray the wimp like an alpha male so there's that too.

Try harder than that.

Not running like a dog, but if you're close to player that would break pass to flanks just cover it. Modric is a 38 year old with similar constitution and still can cover and press. If he doesnt start to press in ko they gonna have a hard time advancing

Modric has always had a crazy motor though, that's his physical profile as a player. Don't agree they have similar physicals at all.

Messi has never been a particularly hard working player and he's 35 now so really unlikely he is going to change that.

Every player has different limitations and Messi's workrate is one. To get his great quality on the ball you have to sacrifice in defense a little.

Let's hope Leo scores vs. Australia

By now, you're in the good books of the powerful majority of the forum. Well done Jammy.

Balanced take.

It was an above average to good performance overall with one potentially disastrous moment.

Positive performance overall.

Aye thats what it is all about.

MOTM of the match and best player on park in crucial win.

Onto next one for the 'bottler'.

Needs to run a little a bit or the first physical team like France will knock them out.

Everyone commented on the penalty miss but temptation trying to make up shit again. Fewer users commented on the lewa penalty miss. Try again.

I actually think it's a good thing he didn't score, and missed the penalty.

Let him keep the itch for goals going into the playoffs. He'll be much more eager to score and get that little bit of redemption. I smell a golazo coming this round or the next.

Just one game in the finals does not matter

Australia and all should be easy

And they are used to beating Brazil who will probably face Argentina in semis
