you enter unicef's photo contest in your son's name and you win. and then, by pure coincidence, out of all those footballers, the baby gets paired with messi for the photo shoot. exactly 19 years later, that kid turns into a player with almost the same abilities, playing the same position at the club messi used to play for (the club he's a legend of), and one who'll go up against him at the world cup. there's no side to this thing that can be explained by science, reason, or logic. i don't know if the people who don't believe in god feel ashamed. it's flat-out like a movie script, and there's a director up there writing the script for us. and look, i'm not even some extremely religious guy while i'm saying all this.

the most overrated player of the 2026 fifa world cup. he's done more harm than good for spain this tournament.

if spain hadn't won the world cup, he would've taken most of the blame. there was probably a lot of pressure on him.

he's still very young, though. hopefully we'll get to see him live up to his potential in future tournaments.

he's gotten a little too tall. it looks like he's lost some of his quickness in tight spaces. if he doesn't adjust to his new frame this season, there's a good chance his career will start to decline and he'll never reach his full potential. kind of a weird thing to say about a professional soccer player.

unless i saw it wrong, the king didn't shake donald trump's hand. i'm gonna watch it again to make sure. if that's really what happened, the guy's got balls of steel. he's earned my respect after that.

spain won the world cup despite yamal. i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even make the 2030 squad.
