Entry #6 The Goat?

 


    The biggest controversy outside the United States is who is better between Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. I am saying outside the United States because Americans only care about football, baseball and basketball when it comes to the finals. If you're reading this please do not take offense and if you do take offense Click Here. Also they named their football and named the "real" football... soccer.

    I do not mean to bash on Americans just a little banter. Soccer is the biggest sport in the world and every country except the United States, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico can agree. The heads of the sport are Messi and Ronaldo and have been since the 2010 World Cup. Allow me to break down each player.



    Lionel Messi is in my opinion the best soccer player that has ever lived without a doubt. He is the reason I fell in love with the sport. I would dream of making the same plays he did during my games even the celebrations. He brings a different joy to soccer players and fans. The Argentinian has played with Barcelona for 17 years and scored 474 goals and 266 assists in 520 matches with Barcelona not including what he has done with the Argentina team. Watch this video, The Goat, I have ran out of words to explain my admiration for him. If you do not believe me, then here are some comments. Also he has 6 Ballon d'Or

Fan holding a sign during a game- "If you played in heaven, I would die to see you play"

Javier Mascherano- "Although he may not be human, it's good that Messi still thinks he is"

Pep Guardiola- "Don't write about him, don't try to describe him, just watch him"

And the list goes on, Messi is what many people describe him as, "An Alien."    


    Many Messi fans talk down on Ronaldo being a horrible player. Although, I am a hardcore Messi fan I take no part of the talking. Ronaldo is still a goalscoring machine with 586 goals and 191 assists at club level, again not including international goals or assists. He is the top goalscorer in history. However, Messi is younger and does have some time to surpass him. He is the more complete player in my opinion. Ronaldo is taller at 6'1 compared to Messi at 5'6. Ronaldo has a much better physic as well as leadership. He is a complete Goalscorer. Nevertheless, Messi is a goalscorer, playmaker, creator and smarter.
    
    This will always be a controversial debate but Messi will always remain my Goat. The question is, who is yours? Comment Below.

    That link was hilarious I laughed so hard even though I had a feeling that was coming. I also think that Messi is the best, every time I play Fifa I have to pick FCB.

Entry #10 Is Apple Scamming Us All?

Image
     Apple has done so much for the Technological industry from producing computers with amazing speeds to phones so powerful that they compete to an average computer. The question is are they overcharging us?     When the first Iphone released it started at the price of $199 and there was only one phone. There was no, Plus, Pro or Pro Max. It was always $199 up to the Iphone 4 then things started to turn. Suddenly the prices started increasing exponentially and now the latest Iphone 13 Pro Max with the option of 1TB of storage costs $1599. In 11 years the cost of an Iphone has gone up $1400 which is not an awful lot.      Many old heads argue that it is unnecessary for it to cost that much. Remember technology is a never ending goal. There is something new being released every week from a big company. We have cameras that have better lens quality compared to a mid-range camera from 2015. The battery can last up to 16 hours and can charge to 100% in under 1 hour.      The economy plays

Entry #3 The Big Bang

        There are moments in everyone’s life where a moment of realization hits us out of no where. It could range from an accomplishment as big as climbing Mount Everest or as small as getting to work on time. It could even be a time where you tasted something that punched your taste buds and made them tingle.      The reason i'm saying all this is because this just happened to me about 1 minute and 27 seconds ago. I put this little rock in my mouth and in my head this strong breeze hit me. It was a marvelous sensation that is difficult to explain.     I am getting too ahead of myself, allow me to start with the packaging. It was a small curious container that opened up like one of those plastic cereal boxes from Costco. It was as small as a mini travel size deodorant and clear. When you shake it you can hear all the rocks hitting against each-other almost like gravel when you walk on it. Since I wear skinny jeans the corners of the package pokes through my pants and the name on t

Entry #1 Exploring Blogger

Image
      Afternoon my Minions, today I discovered this new blog that was interesting yet peculiar. Before you hear my word let me explain my opinions on blogs. They are an underrated form of communication in which an author can express their own ideas through. The idea at first was questionable because not too many individuals do blogs. When was the last time you heard of a Blog in the past month? EXACTLY. Credit should be given out to these publishers and more people should definitely create a blog, its like a mini Twitter.  CupofJo.com      The reason why I started to enjoy blogs is because of blogs like CupofJo. As soon as I opened this blog I was greeted by this picture shown above and this nice forest green and white theme. Also a likable thing would be the links here and links there. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, as well as high quality pictures. My only complaint would be that blue letter sidebar on the right of every page. They are links within other posts she has but they look more like a
