Messi.
can you just talk about, watching him live and the performances that he's putting on so far in this World Cup?
I mean, what, what he's been able to do at, at I mean, he was 38 when he obviously scored his, the last two, but being 39 and, I mean, what, what else can you say about Messi?
Yeah.
It's like what- It's true what other words can you say about Messi?
his brilliance, how he, how, how he carries himself on and off the field, how he's always, always, he's always fit as well, being at that age.
no, what he, what he's doing right now is incredible.
It's remarkable.
he's basically putting Argentina again on his back and leading them, to, I'm sure a deep run in, in this World Cup.
I'm glad he's in, he, in, in the States.
We get to see him week in and week out.
but at the same time, him with Argentina, it's a, it's different, you know.
the aura that he has around, around that team and for his country, you get goosebumps when you see him walking out of the, out of the tunnel going into, to the warmups in the stadium.
it, it's just, it's something that I've never seen before.
And, but for him to be able to do what he's doing now, leading the World Cup with five goals, all the goals that Argentina score at 39- I mean, that's, it's incredible what he's doing.
And Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni has also been saying, "I don't know what else I can say."
You just kind of run out of superlatives- You can't.
Yeah to put on him, right?
Yeah, nothing, nothing else to say.
I mean, the man is, he is, what people say, they always say he's an alien.
He's, he's not normal.
What he does on the field is not normal.
