#i will love him always

Just my thought

I started watching football when I was 12. Before that, I used to hear my parents talk about it and how great of a sport it is. My father would tell me about all the teams and great players like Cruyff, Maradona, Pele, Beckenbauer, Ronaldo, Cannavaro, Gerd Muller, etc.

My father's favorite player was Diego Maradona. He would tell me about his crazy skills and how he led Argentina to World Cup glory. I remember asking him about the World Cup and he said to me that it's the most prestigious trophy any footballing team can have. I said I wanted to watch a World Cup and I did. World Cup 2014 was my first WC ever. I had seen the 2010 one but I was too young to understand anything and all I remembered was that my father was super happy about Spain winning it. I wanted to experience that joy. In 2013, I started watching club football and came across Barcelona and that's when I was formally introduced to Lionel Messi. Of course, I knew about him, but who didn't. He was a phenomenon. Everybody spoke about the Argentinian boy who was Maradona's heir. But I had never seen him play properly. After watching him play, I was mesmerized. The way he controlled the ball was something magical to me. I knew what team to root for the WC. I was all the way with Argentina. I experienced the sheer joy of seeing him play and take his team to the finals but I also experienced terrible heartbreak. I remember crying the entire night he lost, they lost. But my father told me that he would definitely win one, someday. And I believed him because Leo was magical that way. 2018 came with another heartbreak. Between the two tournaments, I grew to love that man more than anything.

I saw people online trolling him for not winning the "most prestigious trophy" with his national team. I was constantly praying for him to win it. And finally, last year, he did it! They all did it! I was the happiest person that day. Seeing him lift that trophy made me feel proud. I asked my dad if now he would be counted among those players he used to tell me about and he said to me that Messi was always there, at the top but yes, it solidified it. I went online, expecting people to appreciate him and give him his due respect. But all I saw was "rigged", "undeserving", "it's just a 7 game tournament", and "the wc means shit"...

WHY? Why the double standards? When Pele was considered the best ever because he won 3 WCs when winning one is difficult, why is Messi finally lifting that trophy not significant? How did the magic of WC and the pride of winning one become meaningless only when, after years of heartbreaks, Leo won it? Why him?

I will always believe Suarez's words: "Football has a short memory"

Lionel Messi rendered himself the Greatest of All Time on 18th December 2022. And not because he won the "7 match trophy" no because he proved every one of the doubters wrong and put a beautiful cap on his glorious career. Lionel Andres Messi, the only GOAT of football, the best ever, and my idol forever.

percy: *intensely watching the news, waiting to hear about something he may have caused*

piper: come on percy, come eat with us. you’ve been sitting there waiting for hours. if something happens, you’ll hear about it eventually. a watched pot never boils

percy, distractedly: yeah and an ignored one boils over

piper: that-

piper, turning to annabeth in confusion: have i been spending too much time with him or is that one of the most logical things i’ve ever heard someone say?

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

Like the majority of society I’m obsessed with Nimona

And I rewatched it a million times and one thing always sticks out to me 

There are moments when Ambrosius is surrounded by light like a little protective bubble 

That keeps him away from the man he loves more than anything
