Bro, let me tell you something that wakes you up faster than Mioara's coffee from Lidl. You know that Messi, at 38, still pulls like a horse? Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, confirmed that El Pulga will play in the last friendly before the World Cup, Wednesday night, June 10, at 4:00 AM, against Iceland. Yeah, man, at 4 AM! At that hour I'm asleep thinking about my bills and you wake me up with football? Messi had muscle issues in his last match for Inter Miami and they rested him in the previous friendly. Scaloni says he'll talk to him about how long he plays, not to risk it. Well, dude, it's Messi, not Brian coming home from school! Other players are available or recovering: Nico Paz, Molina, Montiel, Julian Alvarez. I mean, the squad is like my BMW: kinda old, but still pulls.
Argentina, the reigning world champion, is in Group J with Algeria, Austria, and Jordan. Debut on June 17 against Algeria in Kansas, then with Austria (June 22, Arlington) and Jordan (June 28, Arlington). What a group, bro! Algeria and Jordan are like teams from around here, from Berceni. But wait, football isn't everything. Gazeta Sporturilor made a top of the most beautiful partners of the tournament's footballers. So, like us guys on Fane's terrace, we discuss who's hotter: Antonella Roccuzzo (Messi's wife), Georgina Rodriguez (Cristiano Ronaldo's partner), Ester Exposito (Kylian Mbappe's girlfriend), Tini Stoessel (Rodrigo De Paul's partner), and Bruna Biancardi (Neymar's fiancée). Eleven women, models, actresses, influencers. Mioara, when she heard, said: "What are you watching football for, man? Look at the pictures!" That's right, bro, women are like BMW parts: expensive and hard to maintain.
And so you don't leave without something useful, MrBit made an all-time top scorers list in World Cup history. First place, German Miroslav Klose with 16 goals, followed by Brazilian Ronaldo with 15, Gerd Müller with 14, Just Fontaine and Lionel Messi with 13 each. Messi scored 7 goals in the 2022 edition, when Argentina won the cup. And you'll see what happens now! I say Messi catches Klose, but let's see if some Icelander doesn't mess up his ankle.
For now, I'm going to explain to Mioara why I wake up at 4 AM to watch football. She says it's crazy, but I know Messi is worth it!
