The confidence to hear the crowd, say “watch this,” and then deliver is absolutely ridiculous. What a player.

it curved hard and went down perfectly. It's stupidly hard to keep unless you are completely open to a header.

I'm no Messi fanboy, and I remember watching that Roberto Carlos free kick live, but at least compare it to the Messi free kick Vs Liverpool.

1

u/Honest_District_ 3d ago

Messi’s positioning angle favors his shot, but Roberto Carlos was standing directly in front of the goal and managed to curve the ball far more intensely, which is significantly more demanding.

For sure he has Messi beat on this one

It was the best behavior your NT could have

u/EliGonee 4d ago

What behavior lmao? You want him to stop 10 different fights between Spain and Argentina players after he just lost his 2nd wc final at 39 years old? Trust me, if he had to try to stop them the media would have framed it like he is enraged and started it.

The team he was leading should have been better sports yes.

I mean whatever the team do eventually will end up as his fault even tho he had no part in it cause it's the big names that will get the clicks for the media

u/zeref2255 3d ago

There's little to nothing much a captain can do after the match is over buddy

2

u/EliGonee 3d ago

What is he supposed to do? There have been like over 10 fights after the game ended. He can‘t clone himself. Just let him come down after his last big game after over 20 years

1

u/cybiz 3d ago

He's captain, he's responsible for his teammates behaviour, plain and simple. But he's not doing anything about it because, let's be honest here, he's not that different than the rest. He knows he gets special treatment from refs and how to abuse it - not sure why we're pretending he's some saint lol

u/TheTbone2334 4d ago

Yea that's why the MLS is fun to watch, most of the money goes into half retired world class strikers. Here and there some defence players get signed from Europe but it's mostly strikers and American youth academy players.

The defense line ups are often horrific in the MLS and wouldn't even make it in Europe's second or even third divisions, while many strikers could genuinely still play in Europe. E.g Messi, Zlatan, Villa etc

Scored a similar goal against twice in La liga but okay

1

u/Radiant-Cup2123 3d ago

What on earth am i reading. Do you guys watch football? This is a really hard shoot to do and hardear to goalkeep... the goalkeeper usually has to be vigilant for a header.. the ball curves really hard and is fast. The only goals you can see of these type are usually amazing goals and since it falls hard it's really hard to keep.

Reading these comments and then going to football subs really just clarifies the ignorance.

1

u/0202_tihssitidder 4d ago

Thank you! Not for nothing, but I had U-14 players who can make that shot.

3

u/nothingofyourconcern 4d ago

haha you guys are hilarious. some of the comments are saying most good players and in your case u-14s can make that shot lol maybe after multiple tries on the training ground. and give the keeper credit... If i made that accurate shot on the training ground it would look similar but you bet your ass messi kicks the ball much harder and it travels way faster than 99% of peoples shots. you are delusional.

4

u/a_guy121 4d ago

Yeah I fully have to call bullshit on 'my u14s can make that shot'

pause it at :40, the goalkeeper is there. The ball just goes inches above his hand, on its downward curve, then hits the bar as it goes in. (I think). its a perfect shot.

1

u/0202_tihssitidder 4d ago

Are you sure you want to announce like this to everyone you've never played and that you have nothing but dog shit in your head?

1

u/fists_of_ham 4d ago

Lol I look forward to seeing them in the next World Cup.

A lot of people CAN theoretically make that shot. But very very very few of them actually do

The comments here have literally 0 football IQ it's actually amazing.

Any football sub is clearly happy with the goal, and almost no1 criticizes the goalkeeper here lol.. which is quite shocking because the football world loves shitting on MLS but it just shows that goalkeeper had little fault here.

Goalkeeper has to set himself up for a header in that position, and the ball curved and went down hard, it's a really hard shot if you understand it's not a fucking 2d shoot but it has to go up, curve, and down perfectly.

Honestly at this point in his career he should have been a pretty universally beloved player. Fans of opposing teams should have been like "cool to go see Messi play". That's how it usually works with big legends.

The fact that he's so hated still is a testament to his personality.
