Re: The Lionel Messi Appreciation Thread & Fan Club IV

US is a great retirement choice, so many cool stuff you can do and hang with the boys.

[the xcx]

That was pretty cool

Saw it few days ago. Some fans surely felt disrespected as some random guy who cant speak english for a 10 second cameo just as the door was shut on him.

[Arquitecto]

Apparently its cool a guy who refuses to learn any language beyond his native language, says bad boys.

Didn't learn a lick of English ever, nor French in Paris.

CR on the other hand speaks Spanish well Italian decently English well and a bit of Arab from what I get

[farfan]

Not to generalize, but this seems common among South American players. Most of them don't even bother learning Portuguese which is the closest possible thing to Spanish

[Myesyats]

Why exactly would he need english living his entire life in Spain ? to say bad boys in a perfect american accent?

anyway he seems to understand english and speak it to a degree, just refuses to do so.

arguably he doesnt even need english in miami

Could've bought majority on Barcelona after that and be the first player owner.

[Myesyats]

Imagine being privileged enough to be able to reject €1.4 billion of straight cash

[BarcaLearning]

The way Barca works means no one big buyer can just come in n buy it right? Even if the board n fans wanted to correct? As a Barca fan who just wanna see we have top players as always... dream of someone rich to recuse the club from financial ruins

Nani balling hard @ 9 years old

[Harmonica]

Lol that should've read 2012.

[Beautiful Football]

Another Copa America for Goat. Ronaldo might delay his retirement till 2042.

[halamadrid2]

He had to retire 5 times and carried by the organisers who absolutely do not want one of the best players in history retiring without having won multiple international tournaments. It's so clear for everyone to see

[BarcaLearning]

Fitting finale for the best ever in history... just a few yrs back ppl kept saying he wasnt a legend due to not winning with NT XD

Tbh this was carbon copy of Cronaldo Euro 2016, "single handely carried Argentina from the sideline to Copa". He too deserves Ballon d'Or for this right?

From can't win without spanish team mates, to eventually winning more tituleros with nt. We seriously need an interview Nick & Alex now.

[BarcaLearning]

Man... Hala just keeps at it so funny XD single handedly carried the team to the trophy from the sidelines XD XD XD

[neuro11]

Messi missed the tricks Ronaldo did. He did not instruct the players from the sidelines. So, no ballon d or for me.

[BarrileteCosmico]

@hala the only tournament you're describing that went that way is the Centenario one, which we didn't even win...

Top 4 national team careers.
