Watching Germany vs Mexico. German coach is ageless. Looks the same as he did 12 years ago. The 5th Beatle.
Mexico is on fire.
Lol, hey man my belief is that Messi is the GOAT. Yes, I take him above Maradonna, Pele, Di Stefano, Cruyff, etc. quite easily. I was only remarking on a very obvious trend in recent years, Ronaldo gets it done while Messi seems to struggle (heck, he even quit the NT after losing the final in 2014 briefly). It's like they changed positions from about 5 years ago when Messi was winning all the time. I used to be a big Ronaldo hater (Since he is a douche in real life) but I can't deny the man's greatness anymore, he won me over after putting France away on their home turf 2 years ago.That was his first free kick goal in any WC and EC. He's a great player but he's not even close to Messi and he's the only player I have ever seen who sometimes doesn't cheer when a team mate scores, it's always about him.
watch Germany beat them in an elimination game when it matters heheI think Mexico just won their World Cup
Great match by Mexico. This could have been 5:0 if the had real talent up front.
Would be great.If Germany finishes 2nd and Brazil 1st in their groups, we will have Germany vs Brazil as 1st elimination game.
Well done Mexico!

Also, Ronaldo might be #2 all-time. Both of their stats are the fabric of dreams, just surreal domination.
Agreed, except that there's no Orr in football (Beckenbauer? Meh...).I like that you can give Ronaldo his props even tho you dont have to like him, the narrative was ALLLL Messi from 2008-2013 and then in 2013 til now it has been Ronaldo's time of utter dominance, both have won Champions league 4 times each for their respective clubs since Ronaldo's joining of Real (tho Ronaldo won one with manchester to make the tally FIVE, ..and just won 3 straight...Barcelona never repeated)
the way i look at the whole thing is guys like crosby ovechkin mcdavid are all and basically have been chasing the legacies of Gretzky and Lemieux, the 2 greatest players the sport has ever seen
To me, Ronaldo and Messi ARE Gretzky and Lemieux, Soccer is very fortunate these 2 came around, its been a blast watching Legendary careers before our eyes
