The squad is setup for him (this time round) and he is making sure he banks it

That but he is also unreal in possession

That goal he scored at the end of the game tonight! Wow - put it on a plate for his teammate who spurned the chance then went, fxck it, I'll do it myself - unreal finish from his own rebound

Agreed think he probably makes most if not all teams... Often walks but still gets in the best positions and does seem to create more chances for teammaters compared to some of the "others" who also walk and dont defend.

Even his first goal was superb - walked into position - and blam!

Also, to shift from Messi, watching the Egyptian manager figure out how to make the most of a slower Salah pisses me off all over again at Slot's mismanagement.
 
Messi, what a legend.

Fully deserved,Hats off to the Lad.

Imagine how many more goals he could add to his WC repertoire if he used his hand.

It certainly is the Messi show... I do wonder how this will hold up against better teams though.
It was a great game to watch but really did think the rest of the team was passing to him when it wasn't necessary.
There were also the two missed free kicks - which were not great.

That should have been a 3 nil game.

It was fantastic to watch with my son who is 8 and just getting into the sport, I know watching matches like this is what builds a true fan.
 
Senegal looked really shít. Lazy and inaccurate defending. Giving Norway goals for free.

BS. The upper range of how competitive any sport is not determined by just the amount of people or teams. Otherwise China and India will just dominate all sport just based on number of people.

100 extra shít African teams that doesn't even have grass pitches doesn't mean that Soccer now has more competition.

SA Rugby and Cricket is competitive and play against the best in the world. Even though the Cricket can't win a tournament.
Soccer is shít because it is run incompetently by corrupt officials

A better comparison would be cricket and that is also mismanaged.

SA should be qualifying and making it out of the group stages more often than it does.

You also have to just look at what is done for Rugby and ask why we can't do the same for Football.

I agree with you, although the argument in that post is not about making it out of the group stage.

So we could manage things properly but what the chap is saying will still be just as valid as it was before we started managing things properly, the Bafana and Springboks comparison is silly.
