I give Messi his due, he's a great player. If they win the Cup, it will a great accomplishment for him, the crowning achievement. But for every one of his 800 goals he has at least two dives. Marko knows it too, Messi is a diving, cheating bstd.

One other thing was weird was the set pieces were absolute shit. Traditionally the US has scored a lot on corners, but they were pathetic this tournament. It's looks like a team that never practiced them.
Beyond Adams - their king ball winner - they got nothing. Guys who run hard, run themselves into trouble - or just pass it out wide because they don't have the skill to pick a pass.
From the little I saw of Musah, I liked what I did see - hopefully he develops his game the next 4 years beyond what they brought to this WC.

Thats very very bad analysis of wee Lionel there, Froot.
Of all the greats, he’s the very least of the diving bstds. Always stays on his feet. When Messi goes to ground, its usually because some lesser unworthy arsehole is being made to look “ordinary” and he’s genuinely halved in two!
All of us know that on this side o the pond anyway!
And re Oz & soccer?? Fk them. Never been on their side TO turn my back on them. ……. BUT………. AFL? Best sport on the planet by a country mile….., puts the soccer to shame.
LOVE the Aussies for it 👌👏👏👏👏

When Messi goes to ground, 9.5 out of 10 times theres contact."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Most “dives” have fresh air! Ronaldo dives. Suarez dives. Two or three Aussies tonight dived. Most of the EPL dive……. Guarantee you, most of Messi’s falls are contact tackles. And to be honest, he’s NOT gone to ground a million times when the cheating bstd commentators say he should have.

And must’ve been away from the TV when the giant cannon episode went down, 🤔, don’t remember seeing that.
Saw him being fouled outside the box, he fell, ref thought he dived, …. Slow mo showed an Oz boot going down his shin onto the ankle. Late-ish second half? 80 mins? Looked fucking sore.

Diving and cringing on the ground is a big part of Messi play.

Ah blast……, that YouTube machine again. 🤦♂️🤷♂️…… you’ve been found out, Messi. Jaysus fkn Christ. SMH
Can’t stand it when people can see the obvious genius but choose to home in on the negatives. Must say, surprised at you Froot. Feeling sorry for Chompers (an inventor of the fake injury and cheating) but are busting Lionels balls. 🤦♂️🤷♂️ Wtf?
Edit to add……. You LIKED a Messi diving clip? Jesus fkn christ man. Thats poor.
Or were you liking to say you’re right….. messi dives a bit? Got it. Cant stop S’ingMH. 🤦♂️Last edited by Marko69; December 4, 2022, 04:07 AM."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

But…….. as a member of this board for past 12 years, I do fear a “Strong” view, even if its my own. So, ( <<< legal) …… can’t be the DWT & FL scenario of the soccer forum and jump to Messi’s defence at every chance. Messi (in my humble opinion) is just too good to go looking for his faults, ……..
So ( <<< two so’s, both legal) …… i’ll beg to differ on this."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Still laughing out loud at Dpat’s googling of Scottish terms. Fucking hilarious.
By the way, …. A boot can only be a woman.
