fans killing each other because they are pro Messi and pro Ronaldo and look at them having fun and enjoying the fact that they’re the greatests of all time.

 

Ah, those never-ending discussions about 'my favourite is the best ever' vs 'no, my favourite is the best ever', always taking into consideration only the ones who scored the most goals in the past 15 years or so instead of really trying to look for the best ever

Not really though, otherwise I think some Iranian dude would be the best using that goals metric.

 

Still, to those that keep pushing to “my favorite is the best ever” discussion I just say “don’t discuss and enjoy football “

 

I for sure did enjoyed the past years watching those two monsters playing

In the big leagues, I mean  

 

One basically never hears any other player but attackers (and a rare midfielder here or there) mentioned in the 'best player ever discussion', which in reality is only the 'most succesful attacker discussion'

Ah of course, I knew one of them looked familiar, but that's Pogba now that you mention it  

 

He's out? Well damn, that can't be good for France.

Infantino doing his best to keep the conversation about football 

Quote

The speech began, though, with Infantino appearing to suggest that his own experiences as a son of Italian immigrants in Switzerland gave him a deep understanding of migrant workers and other minorities in Qatar.

 

“Today I feel Qatari,” he said. “Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel [like] a migrant worker.”

 

He added: “Of course I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, I am not disabled. But I feel like it, because I know what it means to be discriminated [against], to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country. As a child I was bullied – because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian, so imagine.”

 

Later it was pointed out that in his opening monologue, he had missed out half the world’s population. “I feel like a woman too!” Infantino added.
