He is a bit too sensitive when it comes to Messi; otherwise, he could have retired after the World Cup—or even before it.
Striving to break the all-time goal record and widen the gap between himself and the rest is a bit too selfish; I am certain that Haaland will break the international goal record in 7 to 10 years.
I used to think Messi should keep playing for the national team and in the next World Cup—through 2030—but now I am glad he is retiring with honor and the respect of his teammates and his people.

Modrić at least got his flowers in the form of a Balon d'Or.
Džeko will go down as one of the most underrated strikers ever. He was born in the wrong country sadly. Put him in any top country and the PR machine would keep pushing him to the moon.
Still, his success speaks volumes in spite of his circumstances. Our best ambassador.

Yes, he is a goal-scoring machine.
The only player in history who was both a goal-scoring machine and named Playmaker of the Year five times—I believe his name was Lionel Andrés Messi.
Haaland will break Ronaldo's goal records, provided nothing goes wrong—whether in the Champions League or in international matches.

He could have played till 2028 /2030. He had it in him to compete at international stage even now.
But I think what happened in the finals and the criticism of Argentina play style and his father's death made him hang the boots for good. Rightly so tbh. Younger players need time with the manager to build a team and they need atleast 4 years to try fill the gap Messi will leave behind

How you define a superstar?
Modric won it in 2018, still in Messi-Ronaldo era.
The Croatia world cup run was massive PR (underdog appeal) , even though their performance at final was super embarrassing.
Ballon Dor got heavy popularity tax / Pr machine in none could beat Ronaldo/Messi, yet Modric still won it.

Players don't have ambitions to wear a jersey number lmao.
They have ambitions to play iconic positions on field for their nations and win the tournaments.
Messi's and Ronaldo's jersey numbers are too iconic. Return them is show of respect for their long services or atleast not giving it to anyone as long as they are playing.
In case of Sachin, it's different story. It had to be done.

I still believe that this style of play was largely Scaloni's fault.
He could have rested Messi during the first half of the final; furthermore, he didn't trust young players like Nico Paz and set up the lineup far too timidly.
They weren't even a shadow of the 2022 Argentina side, and Messi had to carry the team single-handedly; otherwise, in my opinion, they could have easily beaten Spain.
