World Cup winner Lautaro Martinez with a brace that may very well have sealed the title for Napoli. If the Neapolitans beat Salernitana they’re crowned Champions of Italy for the first time in 33 years, when World Cup winning captain Diego Armando Maradona ruled the roost of the football world.

Still on World Cup honeymoon.
Looks like Messi may be rollin with the Saudis in Audis alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Bit of an ignominious end to the illustrious World Cup legends’ careers but hey their millions/billions will help dry their tears and keep them warm at night.
"People tend to forget that a visit to Saudi Arabia to a Qatari is what a visit to Taiwan is to a Chinese. (PSG is state of Qatar owned).
Neymar did worse and nobody said anything because he visited Brazil not S.A."
Haven’t seen that for years! Love him and hate him at the same time!
Can’t say I blame him. He has nothing else to prove. Might as well cash in.
Pele did same thing back in 1970’s:

Napoli away at Udinese. 1 point secures them the Champions of Italy designation.
Maradona won the World Cup as captain with Argentina in 1986. Won the Scudetto with Napoli in 1987.
Messi won the World Cup as captain with Argentina in 2022. Napoli on the brink of becoming Champions of Italy in 2023. Written in the stars.
Ma quanto ti amo Italia. Sei tu la piu bella.

Caught the tail end of Urawa Red Diamonds’ win over Al Hilal (Messi’s suitor and potential club in Saudi Arabia) in the AFC Champions League. (First time devoted even a second to the AFC Champions League). Technically speaking Urawa Red Diamonds are Champions of Asia. Former OM player Sakai their captain.
As someone who grew up in the Middle East, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if Messi played for Al Hilal. At the end of the day, it’s all sports washing after all. As was the World Cup.
Messi’s Al Hilal vs CR7’s Al Nassr. Both in Riyadh. El Clasico? More like Al Clasico. Cannae wait.
Better than him going to bloomin “Inter Miami”! barf.
Internazionale >
Hoping it’s City vs Internazionale.
Messi’s $400 million a year a drop in the bucket vis a vis Saudi Arabia’s 2030 World Cup bid.
You forgot the boxers!

Thug life lol.
World Cup winner Messi’s former club Barcelona crowned Champions of Spain. City likely Champions of England next weekend. Said World Cup winner likely to be Champion of France with Paris whenever. (Not that he cares, mind. Farmers league innit.)
The World Cup Champion might switch the French farmers league for the Saudi farmers league.
