Fifa Cup Russia, Football selections tournament, and big egos

Ronaldo and Messi in Russia 2018, fight of egos?

The teams that participate in the soccer championship do not always justify their fame and position in the initial matches or in the intermediate stages. The ups and downs are inevitable; thus a selection that is presented as a favorite can be defeated by other weaker teams or with less expectations. Star players also go through the same thing: They can demonstrate from the first match the personal conditions that take them to the top; or they can create disappointment and rejection among their fans.

Germany falls defeated against Mexico; Argentina ties with an unpretentious team, Iceland. Ronaldo in a great game converts the three goals that assure a point to his team; Messi who was a god, fails a penalty and hurts his team. On this occasion, in addition to the rivalry between teams, a curious situation has arisen, the fight between egos between Ronaldo and Messi. The rivalry between them is declared and open, but certain gestures betray other things, facts and situations.

Ronaldo was brilliant and productive throughout the match against Spain; Messi was lost among the rival players; erratic, desperate, nervous, precipitated and cornered; 83% of the party was standing or walking and had no space or opportunity to demonstrate its value. The wrong penalty shot is in the history of infamy.

Previously, Messi had a photo shoot in which he appeared with a goat. The image was metaphorical because the word goat (in English GOAT) is associated with the phrase "Greatest of all Times", "the greatest history". Cristiano Ronaldo, after scoring goals against Spain, touches his chin, as if caressing a non-existent beard. Are you upset because you thought that the cover of the magazine should have been dedicated to him? A mocking gesture with the message of superiority? Time will tell, there are still missing games for both teams and the egos of both players will be deployed to the maximum. Ronaldo may think that if Messi is a goat (GOAT); he deserves the name of GGOAT (Great Greatest of all Times? Fight of goats or egos?) Everything is part of the show, and perhaps none declare on that subject, but the popular imagination will not forget those curious gestures.
