As a Ronaldo fan
He is the greatest player with GOATNALDO
Crazy how Neymar was supposed to take the throne like 7 years ago and the Messi and Ronaldo just refused to drop off. Thankful for every additional year we get to witness Messi Magic!
Whenever this guys appears
You know he won't talk about tactics
Yeah Messi needs to retire, he's just playing for the dolla dolla bills, squeezing out as much as he can
So sad he's not returning to Newell's
I see you've relaxed your Shaolin stance, but how will you protect yourself from sudden attacks? 🤔🤔
just an FYI: Cincinnati FC beat Inter Miami FC 6-1 on July 6 lol
Lack of security in Rosario probably has to do with his decision to not return to Newells
Even Messi have to copy the GOAT (KSI & Logan Paul) for PRIME
His Hard Rock Chicken Sandwich sucks.
Is he still injecting steroids and hgh into his legs?
to put this rebuild on messi back and not beckhams pockets is criminal
after stealing 2 or more ballon dor
I love Hamill, was my favorite from Football Daily. He's really great with some more exposure though, like sure, he's got the Insert lines short energy down, but he's actually really funny and knowledgable. They should slot him in a few videos or podcasts.
How he was treated when he went back to Argentina was disgraceful
Very interesting
