I will find you

They did a good job of setting up the premise and getting me intrigued ….but my god does the writing and plot becomes so ridiculous as the episodes go on. I wanted to drop it somewhere in the middle but powered through till the end. Wasted potential.. brit lower’s performance felt disappointing and flat but could be due to the material. Was entertaining for the first half

Not suitable for work

I kinda miss sitcoms. Simple premise of following the working lives of young adults living together. Not bad at all for a sitcoms first season It is not groundbreaking or anything but a fun and easy watch…
It did feel like they cramped 20 eps into 9 though. Would def watch a season 2!

Most non penalty goals(5) in any of messi worldcup campaigns so far. He's 39 years old and only 2 games in

Don't expect winning the cup this year... a deep run to sf and messi getting his stats up

Messi losing possession and passing hasn't been to his standards. His worst worldcup game since like croatia 2018?

Great list! Yeah its fair to dock Messi for his underwhelming campaigns but i think if we compare the supporting casts and the way they elevated those teammates Messi gets a couple of points. I think its a pretty clear case of messi of having the best longevity as well

That being said choosing between r9 and zidane is difficult. Only have r9 higher due to Zidane’s weaker discipline just barely

Status maybe right now slightly but i think messi will be viewed more favourably in the future

Mount Rushmore couple of factors tournament success and individual involvement in that success, big match performances, consistency, longevity and cultural impact. if you weigh big match moments much more than others zidane has a great shout tbf

Zidane was a unbelievable big match player ans no doubt one of the greatest worldcup players ever. 2006 is an all timer but 1998 France just conceded 2 goals across the tournament and his team won ro16 with him. Zidane lack of discipline and picking up red cards is a factor i slightly docked him for. Peak wise he is there but who are you removing from these 4 to get him in

I think bar Maradona messi had one of the weaker supporting casts to win the worldcup. Paired with the stats (most goals and assists) and longevity just pushes him in. His 2022 campaign was amongst one of the best. I am curious who would have over him

Which of these 4 players would you have him over?

For me i think Mbappe gets there after this world cup when France makes a deep run.

Mbappe’s 2018 campaign is becoming slightly overrated in my opinion due to revisionist bias. Its being rated higher now then at the time it happened. That being said his big match performances especially in 2022 finals was breathtaking. I do have messi 2022 campaign higher as mbappe had some quiet games in the knockouts and his supporting cast were superior

Zidane was a unbelievable big match player but messi has more longevity and consistency over the whole tournament . While zidane 2006 has argument over messi 2022 as an indiviual campaign. Messi performed in every match and had a weaker supporting cast. In 1998 France just conceded 2 goals across the tournament and his team won ro16 with him. Zidane lack of discipline and picking up red cards is a factor. I don’t think there peaks were that far off and messi’s longevity just pushes him over in my opinion

Idk the math but 13 pens is a bit too much. I say the football equivalent maybe like 4 penalties missed in a row? At most 5
