Just confirms my theory that Messi is overrated as hell

How is that

I've always been a Ronaldo guy. Messi is pint sized and wilts in big moments.

Ronaldo hasn't won a WC, does that make him overrated. They are both great, enjoy them while they are both still playing.

I am not shocked at all. Saudis have been very consistent with their planning. Their coach has been there for awhile and they've had several friendlies since this summer. They prepared and it shows. Same goes for Korea and Japan. Asian teams are coming!

Called it.

Thoughts.. Many teams totally choking under pressure in this. Most of the teams I've watched don't look like they represent among the best in the world.

They are lucky we didn't send Derrick Henry or Aaron Judge over there

Ugh.

This WC could potentially see more injuries to the players due to the timing of it. Players pretty much had 0 break and all leagues had to fit in tighter schedule to make room for the WC.

Hopefully last time we see a World Cup on Nov/Dec.
