Actually, I've always seen it the other way around.
Messi was the one who started with a handicap, much like Goku. His growth hormone deficiency is somewhat comparable to Goku being raised on a planet with only 1G. He had to overcome that disadvantage and work his way up just to reach the same physical baseline as everyone else, and still be called a midget, lol.

The whole narrative that Messi just coasts through his career without putting in any effort is nonsense. It mostly comes from people who have no idea what it takes to be not just a professional athlete but an elite one.

Also, more than anything else, it's their personalities that make Messi the Goku of the story and Cristiano its Vegeta, at least in my opinion. The Cell Games had Goku do what Cristiano won't do for the sake of his team: recognize when someone else is better suited for the job and step aside.

I'm actually surprised Messi is playing this time around considering he won the cup for his country 4 years ago; that would have been the perfect time to retire from international events. I do believe his legacy is secure, but I can't help but wonder if his reputation will be slightly hurt if Argentina doesn't at least make it to the finals.

To bring things back to Dragon Ball; I feel the same way about Toriyama, some of the animators like Yamamoru, and the voice actors; they all should have walked away once the original run of the series wrapped up back in the 90s. Toriyama's writing was nowhere near the level it was back when he was writing the manga, the voice actors in a lot of instances feel like they're phoning it in, and Yamamoru's reputation has been destroyed since this revival era began. I think a Dragon Ball product set after Z, made up entirely of new writers, voices, and animators, would have been far better than what we ended up with. Modern DB, for the most part, feels less like a product made by people who still have something worth contributing to the series, and more like people trying to recapture their glory days but failing miserably at it.

With the next WC being in Spain and Portugal, I imagine Ronaldo will want to play. He'd probably just embarrasshimself tbh but Ronaldo gonna Ronaldo.

I'm guessing this forum is aware that Halaand is constantly being compared to Super Buu?

My Floridian relatives told me that there is 3 noodle bars themed around dragon ball called Soupa Saiyan. I wish i could go but I can't afford to fly to Florida at the moment so I thought I'd share this info with y'all. https://soupanoodlebar.com/locations/
