Lionel Messi G.O.A.T. Debate
There have been many greats throughout sports that was not drafted by a paper napkin. The man I am referring to is Lionel Messi.
In 2022, Messi and Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar. Messi is back for yet another attempt at the World Cup against Spain Sunday as of this writing and there is debate whether or not Messi should be involved in the G.O.A.T. debate.
He is the all-time World Cup goals leader. During one career season, he shot 91 memorable goals. Messi, 39, holds the all-time scoring and assists and has not slowed down.
It is similar to Tom Brady when he extended his stay in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl. It is a reminder of when Michael Jordan battled through the flu game to win his sixth NBA championship or Michael Phelps last swimming stride and attain 23 Olympic gold medals.
All of these things sound great but Messi is the greatest of all-time possibly with a win Sunday because he can simply still go since age two.

Erling Haaland Rowing his Way to England
Erling Haaland is a once in a generational soccer athlete who is now on futbol’s biggest stage at the age of 25. Call this his prime or calling moment but Norway needs him badly to row his way against England later tonight.
He will face another Golden Ball candidate Harry Kane as both have played solidly well in the FIFA World Cup. Tonight determines if Haaland can stop his former playgrounds growing up, England.
People have clamored as to why Haaland has not played for England many years later. England was his birthplace as his father played for Leeds United.
Haaland left his hometown, however, to represent the Norwegian dream and I am not talking about the official cruise ship. It is two European powerhouses who know how to play with their feet and convey a balanced, fun attack.
Norway 3 England 2

French Football finds a New Face
Doue outshined the new lights of the Champions League Final and became the third youngest behind many such greats to cap off a solidified victory in French Football.
Kylian Mbappe could not do it. Lionel Messi went to MLS and struck cash there. But, also interestingly David Beckham was spotted with ol’ Tom Cruise at the Final.
And what would you know? Mbappe transferred to Real Madrid and the newest ownership stake in Qater Sports Investment Group could not have felt anymore prouder today after 32 years.
PSG ran the gauntlet and won by a final score of 5-0. Linkin Park performed and what an amazing atmosphere considering the way the young bench performed, too, in the waning stages.
This was a relentless, determined battle until the 90th draw and PSG has started to prove why they are the new brand of French Football.
After the game, you could see the joy and celebration of players and coaches of PSG outweigh the heartache losers of Mbappe, Messi, and Beckham to hard earned fame, money, and World notoriety, most particularly, the Cup.
The 2026 World Cup comes to the East Coast of the part of the United States of America next year and it cannot be more exciting now, even tomorrow certain countries such as Germany and Portugal test one and another and ultimately test their strengths after a good season of Champions League or all of the above.
In 16 matches, Doue finished the season with 5 goals and 3 assists.

Monday Wake Up Call: Man United Want to win by 2028
Manchester United is naive according to all-time spin cycle guru Wayne Rooney. Rooney spends some of most of his time spectating soccer these days, in London, and taking a close eye at what he sees and does not.
In particular, the Man United team has had a lot of flaws over a period time but it is not to say they cannot redeem themselves that they want to set goals for example by the end of 2028 and develop their wealth of young talent they are developing right now.
Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkee, and Leny Yoro are. key names to watch out for. But most particularly, Yoro looks to be the successor of the net.
All the others have to earn themselves a price worthy spot and if anything, 2028 is three years from now so recruitments are plenty to be had, in just that time.
What, of course, lacks is a premier world common star, of half the globe. Thankfully enough, Man United won vs. Ipswich Town yesterday 3-2. They managed lesser time with the soccer ball, with fewer corners and shots.
They are 9-12 and will have to work with their veteran cast and capitalize on their good history as a long-standing franchise in the Premier League.

Neymar is Still Surely Capable
Neymar da Silva Santos Junior, is Brazil’s best player at 33. Let’s just write off the pathetic online eulogies. Neymar has accrued a fantastic spanning France, Barcelona, and etc.
Has he received great attention throughout his career? Yes, by the help of his lines but he has slowly fed off of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mpabbe. Mbappe and France always is an uncertainty considering the speed and depth but Neymar’s impressive career goals of 79 is incredible.
He might receive attention for partying late at night or getting hung over on a boat but were not talking eulogies! This is Neymar!
Still, one of the most absolute, incredible performers on the national stage. The only slack he is receiving right now is that the Champions League is not exceeding expectations and he could elect to go elsewhere.
The characterization appeal is not almost in the slightest to a Lionel Messi deal or sort of Cristiano Ronaldo-esque with Saudi Arabia but one of these days Neymar is going to be regretting if he does not play again and in front of his home country because he certainly has, at least, one more World Cup run left.
And, with that being said, MLS is a possibility but would he want to chase in the same tone and light as Lionel Messi, not that he has to. Neymar da Silva Santos Junior has the freedom to choose what he wants to elect after recovering because he is overcome many greats.

A New Chapter for Kylian Mbappe
Mbappe was originally born on the outskirts of France and for seven years competed for Paris St. Germain. Rumors swirled for a year or more soccer’s best star would return to his home country but that did not come to fruition.
On Monday, it was announced by greed, likely council politics and ransom Mbappe signed with the less succeeding Real Madrid in the Champions League. Meaning, the Parisan who was paid with high respects of a tifo and so on recently for a period of time in a place he won the Golden Boot six consecutive seasons is traveling to Spain where he will meet with the likes of upper echelon teams such as Barcelona and Manchester United.
It is almost the sensation fans processed when charming David Beckham left his respective country for Manchester United except there does not seem to be apparent backlash when Mbappe steps on the field and delivers for a league that has seen legends come and go such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, etc.
Mbappe is on the soccer world summit now at 26 years of age. Bi Bi France.
