Why this exists
A tribute to Messi. For everyone who watched.
War of Soccer is an independent project and an unofficial tribute to Lionel Messi — and to every GOAT beside him: Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff, Zidane, Ronaldo. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them.
He is 39. He has said this is his last World Cup. On July 19 in New Jersey he plays one more final — and this game is out for it. That is not a marketing date. That is the whole point.
The reason
Twenty years of Lionel Messi
The free kicks, the penalties, the Camp Nou years, the Argentina shirt. Every photograph here is real and openly licensed — credited to the people who took them.
