The dad hesitated between Ronaldo and Messi. It’s clear that some people have no idea about this sport. Messi is the wizard of this sport and owns all individual and collective FIFA records. There is no doubt who is the best.

[@1GmO2]

Messi is the GOAT but people can have their opinions and know about the sport you 🤡

[@Danielhalvorsen1993]

There is literally a website dedicated to Messi vs. Ronaldo stats. Messi wins out in all aspects except for 1: Heading :) So unless you decide heading is the most important in football then the GOAT debate should be long dead. Messi is a once in a lifetime player. Hope one day there will be someone as good or better, but I doubt I will ever see it. Ronaldo is an amazing player though! The fact that he's even compared to Messi is a testament to his great ability.

[@raider1297]

There's simply no hope for some people. They have things in front of their eyes and they can't understand them, clear as they are.

I thought Americans were full of it 😂. Whole debate is extremely childish. Obviously Messi is the GOAT but with the amount of vigor you guys debate the GOAT talk is pretty sad.

[@StateOfSoccer]

My dad hesitated to add drama haha. The video is meant to entertain which is why I posed the question in the first place....as for Maradona, that's kind of a generational thing...I just got back from Buenos Aires two weeks ago & a lot of older people will say the same thing...also for them, Maradona resonated more from a cultural perspective. There's deep layers to this and as an American I don't fully understand but I'm making an effort

Is not that you were wrong about Messi, it's just that you looked at it from the perspective of an opposite team and, that, in itself, may give you a bias position against the game rivals.

Maradona did nothing other than winning that WC. Messi has had more than 800 goals, so so much more than Maradona, he is the highest assist provider in football history and has won every title there is to win. There is no contest there.

Just that WC???? Sorry but you need to look for Napoli history. Is obvious that you haven´t seen Maradonas carreer or any football match of him or anything at all. You can like Messi more between the two, but you can´t compare two different futbolers, personalitys (what they meant in their time to us) and brillant carreers and outstanding skills that both had. (by the way watch also how it was played back then). It´s not all about records, its about the actual game of and how you play it and both are from another world.

[@Luv3Margo]

Messi is a playmaker as well as a coach on the pitch, he's a genius, quick to read situations & immediately organizes tactics (as Guardiola said, Messi is more dangerous when he's just walking and looking around reading/scanning situations). It can be said that Inter Miami players are quite good and quickly adapt to follow Messi's rhythm and are ready to follow Messi's directions including receiving his long passes, it seems they are getting used to the tiki-taka pattern. These young players will continue to develop & it is not impossible that the Messi era Inter Miami will be at the forefront next season.

[@tjoy8082]

Inter Miami scoring that way against Philadelphia Union these days explains a lot. Messi, Busquets and Alba are pushing a gradual revolution of their game from the core. Because we must understand that this is a team sport and you need a lot of training and playing to find the perfect association with your team mates, although many, many teams never achieve that. In Miami side, when the team game was not enough for them, well, there was Messi with his magical moments that makes him the GOAT.

[@StateOfSoccer]

Union beat this team (pre-Messi) 5-1 at home earlier this season...it's incredible to see what Messi, Busquets, and Alba have done....also credit to Tata Martino for letting them play their way

Ahora, si los comparamos en terminos de belleza de despliegue visual y talento nato, al igual que capacidad de improvisacion, creo que Maradona le gana por un margen considerable. Maradona era mas participativo en la accion de los partidos. Messi puede no aparecer en un 95% del partido y con dos toques puede cambiar todo, definir.

Why are they putting music everytime miami score, union doesn't do that when nycfc is in town

[@daggaboom]

Is the national anthem regularly performed in domestic games?

[@sld1776]

Yes. There's a long story of emphasizing national symbols in the US, going all the way to the civil war.

[@Greenslime300]

Yes, literally every sporting event in the US has it. Bonus points if we play a Canadian team, they play both anthems.

We underated the entirety of the team. Messi is the goat but with Busquets and Alba, they're unstoppable at the moment

[@sheikhsadiashfi9980]

The fact that the team is still coping with Messi and his mates is scary

[@ozzyphil74]

Did he really take three practice free kicks unto the bar? Because that's insane

[@piscesman54]

Americans are used relying on scores for emotion. That's the way it is in NFL, NBL. This is a different kind of game. You generally don't see high scores, unless the difference between the two teams is significant. Football (not soccer) culture is not yet widespread in the US, but it will be pretty soon. The magic of football is in the teamwork, the passing, the rotation, the triangulation, the exquisite technique of some of the more talented players, the ones who are capable of changing a game with a couple of touches and pulling the unexpected from a hat. When you learn to watch for that, you will enjoy it far more. Messi is the undisputed GOAT, not just because of his skills, but because of his football IQ. He sees things nobody else sees. This has a huge impact on his teammates. He just makes everybody play better because he's the ultimate team player. He never cared about being a superstar. He's just a competitive beast, but he understands he can't do it alone, no matter how skillful he may be. It's like an orchestra conductor, except in his case, he also plays first violin like nobody.

It was a great game, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention what luck to have a dad that can pinpoint where George Washington crossed the Delaware; by all means query him more about it next time you go see a game!
