Where is anakra Messi

[@MichiganAviation135]

About all the fouls they did to Messi, in football (soccer) they have a rule which if the person who was fouled still has the ball, the ref can play advantage so the game doesn’t have to stop. If the ball is taken away by a foul, that’s when they stop the game. You can see the ref a few times put his hands up to signal advantage and to not stop the game. Penalties only happen inside the goalie box. If it’s outside, it’s a free kick. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense haha.

I prefer European football over soccer, so 'American football' it is. While I don't live in the US, I don't really mind what the US prefer. You do you. But if I were a resident who loved our version of football, it would feel painful every time someone said 'soccer.' It just sounds weird to me.

[@human0_0skull]

American football is known as Gridiron (or unofficially fieldball) to those who follow it outside the U.S. The term Soccer is slang for association football (which is the official name) and was commonly used by the British until they abandoned it to avoid confusion with other football codes/rules such as rugby, Gaelic, aussie rules, gridiron, etc. Rugby was therefore also called rugby football or rugger at some point in history, but no longer as it is played mainly with the hands, like gridiron, and football has become more popular worldwide. The Olympic Committee have adopted football as the official name for association football, and the rest is history.

[@daveandjessdivorced]

Holy crap! Awesome explanation.. I'll be dropping that knowledge on the golf course with my buds. They'll tell me to shut the F up, but I'll just call them dumb knuckle daggers who can't hit the driver.

[@human0_0skull]

@@daveandjessdivorced haha for sure

[@24magiccarrot]

Technically they are all football. The word existed prior to the codification of Association football and was a generic term for all sports played with a ball on foot as opposed to on horseback. Hence the reason other places around the world had games that they call football as they were all already playing their variation of football long before the game was invented and people aren't going to change what they call something just because a group of people in England decide to write down a few rules.

[@human0_0skull]

@@24magiccarrot Australia and South Africa have also abandoned "soccer" for football. So have Japan and South Korea, which were initially influenced by the U.S. Even though the word "sakka" is still used in their everyday discussions, the game is officially known as football.

[@24magiccarrot]

@@human0_0skull It isn't officially known as football if it was official FIFA would trademark the name and prevent the NFL and Aussie Rules from being allowed to use the term. The word football pre-dates the invention of the game as such can't have any legally official usage. Colloquially people might use it and consider it official but it has no legal or historical grounding.

Lionel ("Lee yo nell") Messi of Argentina is a once-in-a-generation soccer (football ⚽)phenomenon that we see over time... The 1 player who is so exceptional that no one can match him on the field in terms of skills, scoring and captivation... The player every single player looks at and goes, "No one can play that good..." Back in 1958, the phenomenon was Pele of Brazil... this short, black kid... only 17 years old... made his World Cup debut in Sweden and shocked everyone by winning Brazil their first World Cup title... By the 1962 World Cup, the knives were out for Pele and he was injured... but Brazil went on to win the title a second time... In 1966, Pele was so heavily marked that he fell short due to injury and Brazil was eliminated. His last World Cup in 1970 was Pele's ultimate triumph... Brazil went on to the final and won their 3rd World Cup title beating Italy 4 - 1 w/ Pele scoring and assisting. He played for Santos club in Brazil... and even played in the USA in the 70's. Diego Maradona of Argentina was the next phenomenon... He was stocky and a marvel on the field. He was 17 and passed over for Argentina's national team in 1978 when Argentina won their first World Cup title... He made his World Cup debut in 1982 and Maradona was already being brutalized on the field to stop him... But it was his 1986 World Cup performance where he single-handedly took Argentina to their 2nd World Cup title... Unfortunately, his injuries and Argentina's injuries left Maradona 1 World Cup title short as Argentina lost the final to Germany... He played in USA '94 World Cup, but after 2 matches, he tested positive for doping and was dismissed; Argentina was eliminated. Diego Maradona's off-field addiction would ultimately be his undoing... and his death at age 60. But he is revered almost as a deity in Argentina and club Napoli in Italy, where he helped the team and Italy's Serie A football league become the #1 league in the world between 1986 and 1990 Of course, there were stars that captured the attention of fans worldwide - Ronaldo Nazario of Brazil ... Zenedine Zidane of France ... Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal... Johan Cruyff on the Netherlands ... Neymar Jr. of Brazil... But there is only 1 spot reserved for the greatest of their time.

[@daveandjessdivorced]

What a great history lesson! Thank you! On another note though. In ALL fairness, his name IS spelled with the 1st 4 words Lion then the El.

Dave and Jess, those are fouls and are normally called but the referee will not call it and let the play carry on if he/she deems there’s still an advantage (think possession and momentum of play) for the ball possessing team that could possibly lead to a goal. If the ball possessing team loses the ball as a result of the foul, the ref will stop the play, call the foul and bring the ball back to the location on the field where the foul was first committed, giving the ball to the team that was fouled. It is called “playing advantage”.

[@daveandjessdivorced]

So, as long as you're in control of the ball , the opposite team can manhandled, within reason? Boy, I going to tear some refs up during my daughters football season!!! Thank you so much, guys, for being the COOLEST fans I've ever talked to!

[@pablolues845]

@@daveandjessdivorced Yes as long as the ref interprets that the team with the ball may catch the defending team off balance , can get a goal or maintains possession as a team with disadvantage. Sometimes, a player that is fouled, and is not Messi, will stop running/playing to force the ref to give the foul call. If defending team is caught off balance positionally, and as in video player with ball is threatening with a counter attack and defender blatantly grabs them to stop the counter, the ref will not just call foul but also give a yellow card to defender. This is defender taking one for the team by carrying out a blatant “technical foul” on the ball carrier, similar to what’s done in basketball against a high scorer.

GOAT MESSI 🐐

[@ciinarualex1407]

You should watch Messi - The GOAT, you'll be blown faaar faaar away:)))) what you saw here is nothing compared to that

[@limit613]

Nice watch that was. I'll give some clarity on why didn't they do anything about the fouls. So, when someone is fouled/stopped illegally, the referee is bound to stop the game for a free kick(if outside the box) or a penalty(inside the box). Also if it's a serious foul, yellow card or red card(sent off) is also given. But there's one more thing. If the team who is to get the freekick still has possession of the ball, and referee feels like it'd be an advantage to let the play continue rather than stop, then it's continued. As you can see here, Messi even after getting fouled, still has possession of the ball, thus referee playing the advantage. And once when the game stops next time, referees give warning or cards to the player who fouled. So yea.

[@daveandjessdivorced]

AWESOME EXPLANATION!!!

[@bicicletiando3842]

one by one, no one can beat him, several players are needed to be able to take the ball away from him, Ronlado is not even Messi's shoe, anyone who knows football knows what I'm talking about...Yes, you can see the video you want, you are not going to see something like that, good video..

[@ramrm1460]

Referee doesn’t show cards when they make a foul on Messi because referee themselves knows what Messi capable of so they just let it go like that and if they grabbed literally dragged him pull down completely then only referee reacts otherwise it’s just goes like that 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ but it only happens with Messi if it’s other players which they easily go down so referee reacts immediately but with Messi it’s different

[@daveandjessdivorced]

Sounds like the Tom Brady rule in the NFL.

I don't doubt it one bit. My only issue is his jerseys look like modern prison uniforms. If I saw him on the sidewalk wearing that jersey, I would assume he was on work release picking up garbage. The yellow Renaldo jersey on the other hand.....well yellow compliment my dark skin tone.

[@JustCARS98]

how come the most watched sport on planet Earth is not known by Americans??

[@daveandjessdivorced]

We know the sport. Our schools play. We have teams. Our daughter even plays. I think it's the same reason NFL football has not caught on globally. The availability to watch it at the pro level in America is pretty exclusive bigger cities, and not accessible to most Americans at that level. Plus NFL football is exclusive to the US with a few games a year played over seas. Maybe if the Primer Leage came to the US it would grow faster. IMO
