I love football. I watch matches every single weekend, follow the leagues, and appreciate greatness. But I am asking the internet to finally move on from the toxic, obsessive worship of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. We are living in 2026. Both of these men are in the end of their careers, playing in different hemispheres, and yet their fans have created a permanent mental roadblock for the entire football community. Look at Harry Kane right now. The man can drop an absolute masterclass of a season, shattering goal records, dropping deep to dictate play, and putting the team on his back. In any other era, we’d be calling it legendary. But today? You open the comments and it’s just a sea of: "Cool, but Messi did that with his eyes closed in 2012" or "Nowhere near prime CR7." It is completely exhausting.   submitted by   /u/RamboTheReal [link]   [comments]
