All right, total curveball to open up today's show, but it has to do with what happened last night in the Argentina soccer game. Lionel Messi, at the age of 38, gets his first World Cup hat trick. First of all, I want to know how many of you guys out there are Messi guys? Versus Ronaldo, guys.
I think if you listen to the show over the years, you know I'm a Messi guy. Okay? I've always liked Lionel Messi. I liked how Barcelona played. I liked how Barcelona played since the days of, you know, Rinas Mikels and total football coming from Ajax and Holland and the tiki-taka that Barcelona played with. So that's how far back with, you know, Probably. Who was the greatest player in the 1970s?
Come on, if he knows. Pretty good Dutch player back in the day. Do you recall who that was? Wait, no, I was going to say Maradona. Well, Maradona was the best player in the 80s. There's no question Maradona was. But there might have been a guy that was Dutch that was the best player in the 1970s. Just, he had one of the, yeah, he has a turn. It's called the Cruyff turn.
And he was one of the guys that went to Barcelona from Holland back in the day. And by the way, a lot of people think Holland's a sleeper to win the World Cup. England just with a 4-2 victory over Croatia. But Lionel Messi last night. So you can text us on the Ashley Fine Floors text line at 780-451-8800. Are you a Lionel Messi guy or a Cristiano Ronaldo guy?
And I've got some Portuguese buddies that are going to definitely be going Ronaldo. I know that. But I'm a Lionel Messi guy. The other question I want to ask you, 38. Scoring a hat-trick at 38. And I know he's not playing, you know, he's not playing in La Liga or he's not playing in the Premier League. He's obviously playing over in North America.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights from Lionel Messi's recent performance?
Two weeks ago, Jerry was fifth right there with Milstein. He's dropped because there's been a couple guys that have got some deals done here in the last week. And you've got to understand that sometimes other agents get credit for clients. Like Aho's contract is not listed under Jerry Johansson, but Jerry's the one that struck the deal with Tom Dundon, the owner of the contract.
stanley cup champion carolina hurricanes i can't believe he didn't pull a clip from tyler dello that is unbelievable to me shame on you shame on you come on man let's go sorry bob Yakishev says, Gretzky retired at 38. Bobby had nine goals and 62 points and minus 23. Is that being dominant from Yakishev? No, it is not. But it's also 28 years ago. Contracts are not contracts, but players.
Players extend their careers now, right? There's a big difference. Major reason why? Nutrition and fitness. OK, players are able to. There was a time in which guys did not skate in the offseason. Now they take three weeks off and skate. They watch everything that they eat. OK, I know a guy in the last month. Stop drinking pop, okay?
Cut down to maybe two drinks a week instead of 22 drinks a week. Man, I miss that. Anyways, has dropped about 22 pounds, has coincided with 15,000 step walks in the morning, right? So if a useless schlub who is carrying four chins can get down to three, Maybe I can get down to two by the start of the season. I'm just saying that it's a different time for players.
I mean, you'd have to be, with all due respect, Yakushev, and you're a smart texter. It's not 1998-99 anymore. Okay? Players have longer careers if they want than ever before. But you don't have to agree with me. Sam in Vancouver has texted us to say, here we go, Bob. Football was a lot better and enjoyable 20 years ago. Messi or Ronaldo? I'll give you Zidane or the original Ronaldo.
I prefer those two. And yes, the recent advancement of body care, maintenance, and professional sports allows players to play well into their late 30s. Look at LeBron. There we go. Bob, another great Argentinian defender you didn't mention was their captain, Daniel Passarella. River played tough. Well, they always were tough. And, Bob, those Dutch teams were something in the 1970s.
He said Niskens was his player. He played hard midfield. Well, come on, man. Did you ever watch the games? You ever watch the game between Brazil and Netherlands in 1970? They were, oh, man. The tackles, they were fierce. They were hard. You ever see the video of Maradona? I think it was, it might have been in there, whatever the game is. His last game for Barcelona did not end well. Okay?
Did not end well. May have gotten a little bit upset. May have kicked somebody in the saddle ahead. Just type up on your – you've never seen this, have you?
No, the only Maradona clip I know is the hand goal. That's the only one I've seen from him.

Chapter 4: Are you a Messi or Ronaldo fan?
Okay? Like, those guys you didn't blank with off the pitch. In fact, you didn't blank with Maradona on the pitch either. Yes, the texter's saying, hey, Sidney Crosby's 38. He's still dominant. That's my point. How many of you, like you see Maradona, or you see Messi score the hattie yesterday at 38 in the World Cup, and I know everybody, well, he's in the MLS. It's not as good. I don't care.
He looked pretty damn good yesterday. Do you think McDavid and Drysaddle would still be dominant players at age 38? I do. That's why all these guys, oh, there's a little. Let's just see what happens here. And, oh, by the way, You know, again, from the owner to management to the players, they were on board, the top players with Mike Babcock. Remember that. And it's still an ongoing situation.
Keep her coming. Keep texting us on the Ashley Fine Floors text line. Are you a Messi or a Ronaldo guy, or do you just hate soccer altogether? Is the World Cup a pain in the ass? Hey, we're not in Vancouver and Toronto where nobody can move around. Remember that. And we didn't lose our shirt hosting the event. So that's another thing.
