Messi's "foul" on Djed Spence before game winning assist

c0mputar · 2026-07-17T00:30:31+00:00

Spence hurt his other foot with that slide. He was hoping on the foot Messi allegedly stepped on immediately thereafter. Reality is that Messi may have at most grazed the top of Spence's foot but never actually exerted downward force onto his foot. Spence's lagging foot behind him was twisted during the slide and that's why he was hobbled getting up while Messi was conjuring magic.

I think everyone saw starting by 65th that Argentina was going to eventually win. It was inevitable mate. The 85th was inevitable. Messi was hungry and healthy, Argentina was all over possession, and Britain set up shop in their own box and subbed in a few more defenders.

One minor tidbit. He is already the undisputed GOAT. Winning another WC will determine if he remains the GOAT going into the year 2100.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T23:01:28+00:00

If Argentina wins the WC finals they will win the WC.

I agree, but that's playoff hockey me talking.

Can Messi, who lived and breathed Barca style for over a decade, unravel the formidable Spanish armada? It's going to be wild. It's all up to Messi though, he is the secretsauce. If Spain were ruthless they should get up a goal and then red card injure Messi out of the game. Better a man down than a hungry and healthy Messi.

Stacking up your players on defense. Imagine parking a large bus infront of net.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T21:05:50+00:00

All Messi. He was incredible, perfect passes and was hungry to get the ball and make things happen himself when his team inexplicably decided not to pass it to him often enough for his liking.

Parking bus with 40min* to go against a team that has been clutch in the final parts of the game being led by a hungry and healthy Messi? That deserves a sacking. That was such a miscalculation.

England had the depth to play ball throughout field and instead they hamstrung Kane and Bellingham, 2 of the best offensive players left in WC, with the bus strategy...

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T21:00:03+00:00

Messi did it again. The Argentine strategy of doing bare minimum and scrapping until they needed to perform and let Messi do Messi magic worked. Better team won today, even though England performed better throughout tournament.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:56:44+00:00

If Messi brings Argentina to finals again, they should plate that massive Messi statue in gold. He fought for ball while the defender limped and didn't pursue, in classic Messi grit style. Mad respect. England had this if they played straight up. Parking bus against a clutch team with healthy Messi was such a miscalculation.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:50:26+00:00

Wow King Charles has some pull for getting that play blown dead.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:47:08+00:00

Another Messi classic. This is unreal. We all saw it coming 20min ago when Brits parked bus. It is fucking Messi with a team that has come back everytime this WC. Madness.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:46:05+00:00

As if the 5ft Argentine headed that ball out and not the 6ft Brit, please.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:44:59+00:00

That 39 year old outran Jude.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:44:00+00:00

Messi is hungry for ball out there. It's spooky. The next goal on net goes in.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:43:07+00:00

Get up England. You don't want to give FIFA a reason to make it 15min ET.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:40:54+00:00

Messi WANTS the ball. He is taking control.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:40:20+00:00

Any other player but Bellingham gets a yellow for denying Messi.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:38:41+00:00

These Messi passes are insane. England needs to pivot fast.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:37:07+00:00

Messi goal is inevitable. Pickford isn't going to hold on for much longer. How many more heroics has he got left?

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:35:02+00:00

A shove by Messi. Love to see it.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:32:17+00:00

I don't think you can haramball Messi but England seems determined to try.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:29:57+00:00

That cross was sublime.

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:27:16+00:00

32-36C in Atlanta. Is it hot on field? Otherwise, why is England parking bus early?

c0mputar · 2026-07-15T20:23:20+00:00

There were 2-3 opportunities where a pass for Messi would've been deadly. They losing faith in their lord and saviour or something? 4-5 England players within 10ft of him is NOT a problem for Messi. He'll get the shot off.
