First time watching: Messi vs. Physics

[@s1mplex1ty]

The colorful commentator from the beginning is Ray Hudson, he works for beIN Sports and was basically the English voice for La Liga, the Spanish Football League that includes FC Barcelona where Messi spent 21 years. Ray is extremely fun, but it's when he's at a loss for words and just squeals that I find him most entertaining and most honest because it seems to be a natural reaction. If you go down the Messi rabbit hole I'm sure you'll get to hear it quite a bit. Welcome to the magic corner of Football 🥰

His commentary really made the video for me! Messi was great too of course lol Thanks for supporting (:

Its not the edit. Messi doesn’t dive and rarely complains. Which makes it curious when he does go down, then refs usually give yellow cards. Even for us argentines he is an odd character. He is a truly unique person, on and off the futbol field

[@seldom_bucket]

😅 i just said nearly the same thing, he's such good man that eventually any time he went down it was always a free kick cause refs know doesn't fake. As an englishman i'm jealous you get to call him one of your own but he still makes me feel pride in such a beautiful sport, he is the greatest athlete/artist in my lifetime and 2nd isn't even close. He definitely made up for maradonna 😅😉

The thing with Messi is that he doesn't consider failure, so he doesn't give up when something would seem impossible.. most normal people does get that split second of doubt when something is just close to impossible, and that belief in his abilities is very inspiring Messi is famous for never diving, he doesn't know how to stop and to him football is a sport I am not even a big football fan anymore due to the constant diving(I don't like cheating) so I don't watch football games, but I enjoy watching Messi

[@remyrimmm3123]

For the level headed; Messi is the GOAT, regardless of who anyone's favorite player is. What really sets Messi apart is the fact that he is the best player ever in all aspects of the offensive phase. He has few real contenders, if any, when it comes to dribbling. In scoring he is rivaled by some other players however, most notably Ronaldo but also a few other old timers but what sets Messi apart from them is that he also has the most assists in history. Messi also is considered one of the greatest passers of all time but here he is rivaled by a few midfielders.. Bottom line is: He masters all the aspects of the offensive phase to an unbelievable degree. This video showed a more admirable side to his game: He never dives, which is *very* rare in football, especially nowadays. However it hardly showed any of his famous goals/clips .

[@sumomaster5585]

Messi is unrivaled in scoring actually. See RM was set for CRY7 to score the goal, and even then he couldn't outscore Messi who was sharing that with others like Neymar and Suarez. Also Messi doesn't always insist on scoring the goal...if he was doing that as CR7 you bet he would be above 1000 goals by now

If he goes down it is because he got foulded, typically really hard lol!

My favourite Ray Hudson commentary of Messi is "He could follow you into a revolving door and still come out first"

[@alexhouser5279]

Messi's mentality and playing style is the key to success. You ever wondered why Honey Badgers are so successful?... They don't care about anything but winning. Nothing else matters, not even death. If one can reach this state of mind anything is possible. A person doesn't have to be a athlete to apply such a strategy to his or her life. This mentality is applicable to any facet of life. The only roadblock that is in front of you is yourself. When you reach "Honey Badger" mindset, is when you reach self empowerment and spiritual enlightenedment.

[@dulappen494]

Messi is literally the greatest football player there has ever been. Maybe even the greatest football player there will ever be. His talent is simply out of this world. Everytime he touches the ball, you know you're about to witness a magical moment, something that no other player is capable of.

And while Ronaldo is surpremely talented and got to his level through unbelievable work ethic (which in an of its own deserves all the respect in the world) there is simply no question that Messi is better. Everything Ronaldo can do, Messi can do as well, but a lot of the things Messi does no one else is capable of. (Sorry, I read Ronaldo instead of Ronaldinho lmao. But yeah Ronaldinho even says Messi is the greatest ever and even did so when he first played with Messi. I think when Messi was 17 Ronaldinho said "this kid is gonne become the best football player the world has ever seen")

I agree that Ronaldinho's playstyle was more fun and creative, but at the end of the day football is about winning, not about looking the best. That's also why Messi barely ever does "tricks" like Ronaldinho, CR, Neymar and others do, because it simply isn't effective most of the times. Messi has unparalleled ball control and the most precise touch the game has ever seen and that's simply a fact.

If born in a different era, would've been the top dog of his generation. The thing is CR7 antics and his fan claims that he's better or even close to Messi is why ppl hate on CR7 sometimes. Other than both scoring crazy amounts of goals, there's no comparison at all.

He spent the last 2 years at Paris Saint Germain, a club with big ambitions who don't do much outside of domestic (European competitions are the golden grail of football in Europe, you play in your domestic league every year and if you do good enough one year you'll be invited to play in "the champions league", or lesser european competitions as well)

Taking dives, and just playing for free kicks, is something that is drilled into soccer players when they're young. My family couldn't afford to send any of us into after school sports, so I only learned how to play soccer by playing with/against the kids at school. All those kids who took the afterschool soccer programs always played for free kicks or throw ins. I was too young to know what they were doing. I always kept playing on, despite them trying to trip me or bump me, or them trying to let the ball go out of bounds. They keep expecting people to play for free kicks, so you could always catch them unprepared simply by staying on your feet and playing on. Messi plays are the only thing in soccer that's remotely watchable to me. No dives. Just continuous forward movement, instead of playing for the refs decisions.

The "problem" is that Americans or in general who don't know anything about football don't have idea of what it means to control a ball with your foot, so it's hard for them to understand how incredible what Messi can do is (maybe someone understand but it doesn't seem so extraordinary to them).

About the diving question, first a correction. You say he gets hit and just gets right back up. That by definition can not be a dive. A dive is when you dont get hit, or get hit in a way you can stay up, and go down. And to answer your question, when a player gets hit and goes down, he will get back up when he sees that he can still come out ahead. That rarely is the case for normal players so they are content with staying down and getting as freekick. But with Messi it happens a lot. He is just that good.

[@Isleofskye]

You are right but "amazingly" in England, for example, when there were No Subs or just one, players, rarely, ever got "injured" or stayed down. In THe 1960s/1970's it was really frowned upon by players and supporters, alike.
