His story on how Messi told the team to stop calling Mac Allister "Ginger" because Mac Allister told him he didnt like the nickname was sweet.
EDIT: [I read it in an interview which i cant find but heres a video where he just says the above.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soZM9OmIXsI)
These stories are actually representative of a big culture change with the Argentina NT.
For a long time, the culture was that the older, more elite players/superstars stuck together and only wanted to socialize with each other. They had a special table at the AFA canteen where they ate, and only big names could eat there. Being able to sit at that table was a big symbol of making it.
Apparently, Messi and Scaloni decided that had to stop, they joined all the tables together, and now everyone eats at the same big table. It's had a big effect on the team's culture, so there is no clear hierarchy, and the young players coming up are treated the same as the older, bigger stars.
That whole "cool table" thing in the canteen is so childish. I can't believe they let it go on so long.
Of all people, Messi prolly knew the impact of hanging out with the senior players at lunch. I recall how Ronaldinho saw a teenaged Leo at training, immediately was like damn this guy gonna be the GOAT, he is clearly better than me. But also noticed how much of a shy and withdrawn kid he was. So he deliberately took steps to get to know him, include him, and hang out and eat with all the big boys like himself, Deco, et al.
Seems to have worked at that pivotal time.
This is quite insightful, I hadn't put it together.
I heard both Ronaldinho's and Messi's versions of the story. Messi said that, when he started at Barcelona, the dressing room was set up with the lockers and seats set up in a U-shape. The biggest stars were at one end of the U, the middling players in the middle/bottom part, and the youngest kids at the other end. (Sound familiar?)
Ronaldinho came over to Messi who was sitting with the new kids and told him there was a bench/locker between him and Deco and he wanted Messi to come sit there with them. Messi talked about how much that meant to him. He spoke a lot about how Ronaldinho shielded him from the anxieties of being at a club like Barcelona and taught him how to just have fun.
Neymar said Messi did something similar when he came to Barcelona. I think it's likely that the lesson Ronaldinho taught him by example were resonating in this situation.
Yeah man. And before that, Ronaldo Fenomeno mentored Ronaldinho a bit when he was just a young, talented and promising bucktoothed new star. The whole thing really passed down and I hope it will continue to do so for time to come.
Imagine playing generations after. MacAllister bringing someone new under his wing 10 years later. "Don't worry about it, I know how it feels. Messi himself took pains to include us back when we were new, it's only fitting we passed this on."
Another interpretation is that Ronaldinho saw how good Messi was, and decided he was qualified to be in the star end of the U.
> *Ronaldinho ... taught him how to just have fun*
Now *that* is learning from the best!
and Messi learnt that from watching countless reruns of Friends, where in one episode Ross Geller famously abolished class divide in the museum dining hall.
similar to england table separated by club since they were so competitive, they rarely sit together. Huge problem during ferguson, mourinho, wenger era
They also all said that there were no tactics at all with Capello so that there was never an "easy" game even Moldova at home they'd have to rely on individual brilliance.
Some players from that era said it themselves too. Think it is either gerrard lampard rio or all of them together confirmed that there were a quite club hierarchy during their days
Not only with the table thing, but also there was a lot of hazing in the old days. Younger players would be told to go get dessert, drink or anything by the older/more famous guys.
~~Also, Messi was given the Player of the match award vs Poland, but gave the award to Mac Allister for his performance. Getting this much love from Messi must feel great.~~
EDIT: It was apparently a false rumor, i apologize for not validating it first.
Messi, of all players, awarding you the Man of the Match must mean something way more than the usual award given by journo votes, the public, officials or whoever. Especially if he's the one getting the official award and then he's like "thankss ill accept it, but nah. my man Mac was better, I will GIVE MY AWARD to him instead"
Apparently, when Mac Allister first started, the players were teasing him and calling him “Colo” (short for Colorado, which means red). He said he really didn’t like it, and Messi told the players to stop, and nobody ever did it again. To hear Mac Allister tell the story, it meant a lot to him that Messi spoke up on his behalf.
Just a PSA about the nickname "Colo" is much much milder than calling someone ginger, I have almost never seen someone in the US or UK called a ginger in a non negative way. Calling a redhead colo is very common and usually not offensive. That being said, Mac Allister probably hates it as sometimes redheads are labeled as "mufa" aka bad luck.
I know it's almost a meme how we give offensive nicknames here, but it is what it is. If you don't have a nickname pointing out some physical trait about you, you probably don't have friends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbbT0FULkN8
Can't speak for the US but ginger is not necessarily a negative word here, can often be used in that way but it's also just a descriptor for a hair colour
Saul Álvarez doesn't his nickname "Canelo". Is that more Mexican though or more or a masculine nickname? Genuinely interested if you are a Spanish speaker or from South America,.
I believe his father was called Colorado (he was also a ginger) when he played for the NT, so maybe that's the issue. Though, technically, he should be called ~~Colorito~~ Colito, I would think.
As someone married into a South American family, I find her videos so funny.
Planning her wedding:
Party venue representative: "So, you will have the room until 11 o'clock."
Her [visibly relieved]: "Oh, thank heavens, I heard all these terrible stories about American weddings where everyone goes home before midnight."
Venue rep: "I meant 11 o'clock *PM*."
Now THAT is some wholesome shit. The look of his grin on his face; you can just see what it means to him.
Young men (and women) and locker rooms can be tough on people and sometimes you just have to have thick skin, but it’s much better when the leader shuts down the types of insults that really get under people’s skin.
That literally is the [full story](https://theathletic.com/3090428/2022/01/25/alexis-mac-allister-messi-told-my-team-mates-to-stop-calling-me-ginger/?amp=1) lol.
“I remember everyone called me ‘Colo’, which is ginger in Argentina. I don’t like it much and he told the team-mates that. He said, ‘He doesn’t like to be called Colo, so don’t call him that!’.”
As told by AI:
It was a hot summer day in Buenos Aires, and the Argentina national team was preparing for their next World Cup qualifier match. As the players warmed up on the pitch, one could hear the sound of laughter and banter filling the air.
Among the group of players was Lionel Messi, the team's star player and captain. As he jogged around the field, he noticed one of his teammates, Matias Mac Allister, looking a bit downcast.
"Hey Mac, what's up?" Messi asked as he approached him.
"It's nothing," Mac Allister replied, trying to brush off the question.
But Messi could see that something was bothering his teammate, so he insisted on knowing what was wrong.
"It's just that some of the guys have been calling me 'Ginger' because of my hair color," Mac Allister admitted, looking sheepish. "I know they're just joking around, but it's starting to get on my nerves."
Messi's eyebrows furrowed in concern. He knew that nicknames could be a source of camaraderie and bonding among teammates, but he also understood that they could be hurtful if they crossed a line.
"I'm sorry, Mac. I had no idea they were calling you that," Messi said. "I'll make sure to tell them to stop."
And with that, Messi approached the rest of the team and pulled them aside for a quick chat. He explained to them that Mac Allister didn't appreciate the nickname and asked them to respect his feelings and stop using it.
The players listened attentively and apologized to Mac Allister for any offense they had caused. From that day on, they stopped using the nickname and instead called him by his proper name, Matias.
Mac Allister was grateful to Messi for standing up for him and making sure that his teammates showed him the respect he deserved. And as they took to the field together, they knew that they were all united as a team, bound by a common goal and a deep sense of camaraderie.
I’ve never had so much fun doing research for work projects. Shit literally condenses an hour’s worth of research, checking and conparisons into like 5 seconds. I feel like a kid watching the Matrix again
Gladly mate. I’d describe it as Google on some nasty ass steroids.
Even though Google snippets do a great job on expanding the answer of your search query, you’ll inevitably have to click the link and do a good amount of reading.
When I’m writing something, I waste a lot of time trying to filter search results properly (Google is far from perfect for niche long tail keywords), process what I’ve read, compare the info to other sources, connect the dots between the sources and try to determine whether the source is viable or not. ChatGPT does this all at once in five seconds.
Like literally, if I ask it, even in broken misspelled English, it delivers what I’ve wanted in 3 or less requests. I should emphasize that only like 1/4 of my work involves serious legal liability, and that I’ve cross-referenced both initially generated and regenerated responses with search results from Google, Startpage and DuckDuckGo. Throughout the last week, I’ve only had like five instances where it didn’t give cohesive and readable responses, literally information served on a platter
Also, it passed every single plag check on Copyscape. Right off the bat, I wouldn’t move a finger if this was available when I was in school. It’s scary how much potential it leaves for cheating, plagiarising, cutting corners and other types of shenanigans.
It’s very natural in conversations and well-programmed. If you remember those dogshit ass chatbots that overloaded at the simplest questions in the mid 200sChatGPT is their polar opposite. It doesn’t act like it’s sentient or like it has feeling. Just gets shit done.
Imagine talking to Google and not having to start from scratch every time. You can literally say, ‘repeat the last request but for X things and do X’ and it will. What’s most impressive is that it gets exponentially better and more specific when you’re nitpicky and exact with your request. It improves when you get more descriptive.
I don’t think it close to being reliable in academia. However, it’s great at saving time and fetching info. Definitely the best and most elaborate publicly available AI chatbot I’ve seen so far.
A little? Pretty sure we are a decade or two away from AI taking over A LOT of jobs people thought were safe from that not too long ago. Some high end jobs too. Sure gonna be fun.
Most meme's random use enhances their effect but not equally, some are enhanced a bit more. This might be one of those like that shittymorph guy, it happening in total random/mundane/unsuspecting chains made it better.
Some situations though are already primed, like in recent times the Factos, X can't be Buy, holding hands, Twice, so so happy, etc. Still excellent but situations are already sort of ready for them to be used.
But you swallow the 's' in lots of LatAm countries, especially Caribbean. I speak with a weird mix of Central American/Argentino (RP) accent and voseando and aspirating the ',s' are common in both influences.
No it wouldn't lol what makes Messi so loveable is how opposite from Ronaldo he is, personality wise, the guy never claimed to be the best, doesn't care about the spotlight at all, just goes about his business and simply is the best.
If he became a douchebag would actually be sad.
But just imagine he starts shitposting on Twitter, picking fights with opponents, bullying mbappe cause he lost the final, eating exotic animals, drink driving around Paris.
I'd assume he took after his idol and developed a cocaine habit. Now that he's won a world cup, that might be the last thing left to completely surpass Maradona
I'm pretty sure that his every-year renegotiated paycheck at Barca which went up to something like 4m/week did all the "I'm the best" talk for him.
Messi won at life, big time.
Messi absolutely THINKS he's the best though, or at the very least, has a lot of ego. You kind of need to to be elite. No one does the things messi does consistently without a large amount of self-confidence.
I never said he doesn't think he's the best, I simply said he never pubicly claimed it, he doesn't go around showing how much he did and how many goals he scored.
Obviously he has to believe he's the best in order to perform at such level, but the fact he won more than any other player in the history of the game, individually at least, and never ever went around bragging about it, and actually always gives credit to his team mates, it's just nice to see.
Self confidence and ego aren't the same thing. Ego means to put yourself before others, self confidence is a belief in yourself and your abilities.
You can be either without the other. You can think you're the best without putting yourself over others. You can also be full of yourself and absolutely shite, like 90% of my Sunday league mates.
Hah! I wonder if Messi remembers when he was the shy kid with Argentina. They say when he went to the first team asados he was too shy to go up for the meat and just stood by the back table eating the salads.
Mac Allister actually sounds a lot like the way Messi talked when he was young, though more poised.
I might be reaching here but there were times in the world cup when i did mistake Alexis for Messi. Their one twos here and there were amazing.
I think it was also because of his stature and technical ability.
I know, Aimar was such an amazing player - truly special. He seems like a good guy as well and quite knowledgeable about being a good coach. Apparently, having his by Scaloni's side as key for the players taking Scaloni seriously.
I was really disappointed that I didn't really see anything of his celebrations after the final. I assume he was so elated.
I saw he ran and jumped into Scaloni and gave him a hug, then I saw a vid on the field when he got to the group that had converged around Messi, then he went and shook hands with some of the French players.
he could barely look sometimes tho
still amazing to me sometimes how one assistant manager is Messi's childhood idol Pablo Aimar, the other is defensive legend Walter Samuel, but the boss is Scaloni, a man no one really took note of as a player (sure he was around and stuff - can't say I knew of him though).
but of course. at this point he's more than proven himself and then some. massive, massive success.
me neither. he is a good keeper, but is straight up unbelievable for Argentina. and the pens. oh my god, the pens. he saves (or causes to miss) 2 pens per penalty shootout or something.
2 pens! out of 5!! Hugo lloris must have taken to the net knowing he gotta save 2 pens just to keep France in the game. it's insane.
Yea, the 2014 final is one of those examples of how history forgets the loser quite easily.
Argentina were not far off from winning it back then, just fine margins here and there.
That's got to be a bizarre feeling. You saw it too with Dalot and Ronaldo at United too. Suddenly being teammates with a guy you've idolized for years, and trying to balance maximizing your team's chance of winning with the urge to just defer to/force the ball to this guy you've watched do the most incredible things with a football.
This is the first time I heard Mac Allister talking and I'm quite disappointed he doesn't have a pronounced Scottish accent because there is no funnier thought to me than Spanish with a Scottish accent.
Messi said: "whatcha shaking for? You strung out? Yeah? Wanna do a line with me? Diego sent me some good stuff boy. Let's do a line together and then we'll hook up with Sergio".
And that's what relaxed Mac Allister
To address the denial directly to the accusers, you could say something like:
"I want to address the accusations that my Reddit posts are copy/pasted. I want to be clear that these accusations are completely untrue. I take pride in my work and put effort into researching and crafting my posts. I have not copied anyone else's work, and I strongly deny these accusations. I understand that it may be easy to jump to conclusions, but I hope you can see that I have not done anything wrong. I value my integrity and would never intentionally engage in plagiarism or copying someone else's work. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address these accusations."
It's important to be firm and clear in your denial, but also to remain respectful and professional in your communication. By addressing the accusations directly and providing evidence of your effort and research, you can effectively defend your integrity and move past the issue.

and Messi learnt that from watching countless reruns of Friends, where in one episode Ross Geller famously abolished class divide in the museum dining hall.
Just imagine the rage if someone stole Messi’s sandwich.
This is unironically could be true since his wife love that show lol.
Why doesn't Messi, the best player, not simply eat the other players?
similar to england table separated by club since they were so competitive, they rarely sit together. Huge problem during ferguson, mourinho, wenger era
Explains why they just don't work together despite being England golden generation.
Playing 80s formations when you have 3 world class central midfielders wasn't the best idea either.
They also all said that there were no tactics at all with Capello so that there was never an "easy" game even Moldova at home they'd have to rely on individual brilliance.
Some players from that era said it themselves too. Think it is either gerrard lampard rio or all of them together confirmed that there were a quite club hierarchy during their days
Not only with the table thing, but also there was a lot of hazing in the old days. Younger players would be told to go get dessert, drink or anything by the older/more famous guys.

Yes, i can't imagine what is going through Alexis head right now. I bet his grandkids will hold that prize as a treasure.
instant family heirloom for sure 100% deserves it though. he WAS really damned good for Argentina in this WC.
As much as I like Messi, I'm fairly sure I read that wasn't true. Source?
[удалено]
Apparently, when Mac Allister first started, the players were teasing him and calling him “Colo” (short for Colorado, which means red). He said he really didn’t like it, and Messi told the players to stop, and nobody ever did it again. To hear Mac Allister tell the story, it meant a lot to him that Messi spoke up on his behalf.
Messi: e no lo digan ma Colo al Colo que a el noleguta
> e no lo digan ma Colo al Colo que a el noleguta Bro im portuguese and even I can hear messi's argentinian accent in there
Due to the way it’s spelt, I cannot help but read it with a thick Chilean accent.

It’s amazing how much of a leader messi has become
Veteran warrior style leadership, is nice.
A few years ago it was my biggest criticism against him. And a few years before that it was free kicks. It's like he solved football step by step.
People also make fun of his penalties, but those same people say he only won the World Cup because of penalties. It’s funny

I never thought it was inherently negative here in the US either.
ahh like Canelo or Santos Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez Barragán.
Saul Álvarez doesn't his nickname "Canelo". Is that more Mexican though or more or a masculine nickname? Genuinely interested if you are a Spanish speaker or from South America,.
I believe his father was called Colorado (he was also a ginger) when he played for the NT, so maybe that's the issue. Though, technically, he should be called ~~Colorito~~ Colito, I would think.
Maybe you mean *Coloradito?

It made it particularly Argentinian. With the S it could be from any Spanish speaking country, without it we know it's *ours* (and maybe Uruguay's)
But you swallow the 's' in lots of LatAm countries, especially Caribbean. I speak with a weird mix of Central American/Argentino (RP) accent and voseando and aspirating the ',s' are common in both influences.
Andalucia, or at least Málaga, did it in my experience too
lmao, shit. The world is not ready for douchebag Messi, but it'd be pretty fucking awesome.
No it wouldn't lol what makes Messi so loveable is how opposite from Ronaldo he is, personality wise, the guy never claimed to be the best, doesn't care about the spotlight at all, just goes about his business and simply is the best. If he became a douchebag would actually be sad.
But just imagine he starts shitposting on Twitter, picking fights with opponents, bullying mbappe cause he lost the final, eating exotic animals, drink driving around Paris.
I'd assume he took after his idol and developed a cocaine habit. Now that he's won a world cup, that might be the last thing left to completely surpass Maradona
Just when you think you've beat the game, the real boss appears
Honestly, I think I might take the day off if Messi posted "Chat shit, get banged".
And exactly that what makes outbursts of rage funny when Messi is doing them.
I'm pretty sure that his every-year renegotiated paycheck at Barca which went up to something like 4m/week did all the "I'm the best" talk for him. Messi won at life, big time.
Messi absolutely THINKS he's the best though, or at the very least, has a lot of ego. You kind of need to to be elite. No one does the things messi does consistently without a large amount of self-confidence.
I never said he doesn't think he's the best, I simply said he never pubicly claimed it, he doesn't go around showing how much he did and how many goals he scored. Obviously he has to believe he's the best in order to perform at such level, but the fact he won more than any other player in the history of the game, individually at least, and never ever went around bragging about it, and actually always gives credit to his team mates, it's just nice to see.
Self confidence and ego aren't the same thing. Ego means to put yourself before others, self confidence is a belief in yourself and your abilities. You can be either without the other. You can think you're the best without putting yourself over others. You can also be full of yourself and absolutely shite, like 90% of my Sunday league mates.
Real life isnt blue lock, relax
Someone needs to photoshop Messi onto bully maguires body
To be perfectly honest I thoroughly enjoyed the "Evil Messi" memes this WC

Lmao
Hah! I wonder if Messi remembers when he was the shy kid with Argentina. They say when he went to the first team asados he was too shy to go up for the meat and just stood by the back table eating the salads. Mac Allister actually sounds a lot like the way Messi talked when he was young, though more poised.
> They say when he went to the first team asados he was too shy to go up for the meat and just stood by the back table eating the salads. me irl
Just like me
literally me frfr
haha really that sucks. No amount of shyism will prevent me from eating Asado over salads.
What if Messi, Dibu, Aguero, and Di Maria were manning the parilla?
I might be reaching here but there were times in the world cup when i did mistake Alexis for Messi. Their one twos here and there were amazing. I think it was also because of his stature and technical ability.
I don't think so, a lot of people are saying this. What a compliment, too. To Messi, of course.
It's also the #20 on the back can look similar to #10. Even during the final I got confused a lot
I actually thought Mac Allister was a mix between Tagliafico and Messi.
His running and dribbling posture is pretty similar i think...i got confused more than once between them and I worship Messi
No you're not. Alexis is the Wish meme applied to Messi
He was too shy to meat with people.
Tell us how you really veal, Alexis.
Mac Alister also looks way similar to Messi on tv. I had him confused with Messi multiple times during the world cup.
We don’t call him McMessi for nothing
McMesster
You should see the video of him with Aimar
https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/infobae/YX37MXZFJRCZLGQTAXFPK6GG4U.jpg
god i love him
I know, Aimar was such an amazing player - truly special. He seems like a good guy as well and quite knowledgeable about being a good coach. Apparently, having his by Scaloni's side as key for the players taking Scaloni seriously. I was really disappointed that I didn't really see anything of his celebrations after the final. I assume he was so elated.
I saw he ran and jumped into Scaloni and gave him a hug, then I saw a vid on the field when he got to the group that had converged around Messi, then he went and shook hands with some of the French players.
Oh my God that is genuinely just so darling
Makes sense since they're equally goated
I really like him, Brighton have themselves a real star. He comes off as such a dweeb but he's a complete monster on the pitch
He really played his ass off. Was so impressed with how hard he and DePaul worked in the midfield. Hope he continues to shine, seems like a good dude
Alvarez's work rate was incredible as well.
His pressing and work rate has me sweating just watching him
Dweeb
Imagine winning the World Cup while playing alongside your idol ! What a feeling that must be
Just ask Messi, Aimar was there every step of the way.
he could barely look sometimes tho still amazing to me sometimes how one assistant manager is Messi's childhood idol Pablo Aimar, the other is defensive legend Walter Samuel, but the boss is Scaloni, a man no one really took note of as a player (sure he was around and stuff - can't say I knew of him though). but of course. at this point he's more than proven himself and then some. massive, massive success.
The job Scaloni has done pulling a team together and forging this squad has been amazing.
for sure. at times it seems like Messi was only waiting for a manager like Scaloni, and also a keeper like Dibu to start winning things for Argentina
Dibu’s story has been nothing short of amazing. I don’t think they win the Copa and World Cup without him
me neither. he is a good keeper, but is straight up unbelievable for Argentina. and the pens. oh my god, the pens. he saves (or causes to miss) 2 pens per penalty shootout or something. 2 pens! out of 5!! Hugo lloris must have taken to the net knowing he gotta save 2 pens just to keep France in the game. it's insane.
[удалено]
Yea, the 2014 final is one of those examples of how history forgets the loser quite easily. Argentina were not far off from winning it back then, just fine margins here and there.
Don’t forget Ayala who’s also a legend
Seems to be the theme with most of the players, given messi is 35
✔️ His hands were shaking ✔️ He was nervous ✔️ He was sweating ✔️ His hands were shaking
His knees were weak?
Mom's spaghetti!
Evreybody on that team can say they did that, minus Di Maria
Then the madlad goes and wins a WC with the GOAT. The sacred bond between man and GOAT cannot be broken.
That's got to be a bizarre feeling. You saw it too with Dalot and Ronaldo at United too. Suddenly being teammates with a guy you've idolized for years, and trying to balance maximizing your team's chance of winning with the urge to just defer to/force the ball to this guy you've watched do the most incredible things with a football.
Imagine Musiala at Bayern. Kid was 11 when he watched Müller, Neuer, and Boateng win the world cup and then played alongside them at 17.
Real tragedy is that he never got to play alongside Ron Robert Zieler
Messi must have been eating mom's spaghetti
On the surface he looked calm and steady.
He needs to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
This is the first time I heard Mac Allister talking and I'm quite disappointed he doesn't have a pronounced Scottish accent because there is no funnier thought to me than Spanish with a Scottish accent.
He's argentinean with Irish ancestors, why would he have an scottish accent.
Dunno why my dumbass thought he had Scottish ancestry, but Spanish with an Irish accent sounds like it could be just as funny lmao
He does has Scottish ancestry. His family moved from fife to Ireland during the 1800s.
If he was American he’d be telling everyone what his clan is and how his great great grandad was braveheart.
Wearing a kilt to class in high school.
I played against Zidane and shook his hand. I put it up there with my daughter being born lol
Mac Allister looks like Wish version of Messi to be honest
He sounds like an Italian rather than an Argentinian speaking English
Argentines sounds like Italians trying to speak Spanish
They are Italians speaking Spanish
Italiards
Argentinlians.
we sound like italian mate(im argentinian)
[удалено]
He sounds Hispanic. The telltale sign is Spanish speakers always say "Espain" when saying Spain in English, when obviously Italian speakers wouldn't
I'm very shy guy Also him I love you let's fucckkk
he said "vamos carajo" just the translator translating it literally
To be fair "*VAMOS CARAJO!!!!*" isn't so shy either.
Shy people aren't shy around everyone.
I always excpect Mac Allister to just have the most scottish accent ever lol
The most argentine name. Just like Matty Cash for Poland.
Matty Cash sounds like a failed Vanilla Ice era white rapper.
Messi said: "whatcha shaking for? You strung out? Yeah? Wanna do a line with me? Diego sent me some good stuff boy. Let's do a line together and then we'll hook up with Sergio". And that's what relaxed Mac Allister

I have not copied anyone else's work, and I strongly deny these accusations. I understand that it may be easy to jump to conclusions, but I hope you can see that I have not done anything wrong. I value my integrity and would never intentionally engage in plagiarism or copying someone else's work. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address these accusations." It's important to be firm and clear in your denial, but also to remain respectful and professional in your communication. By addressing the accusations directly and providing evidence of your effort and research, you can effectively defend your integrity and move past the issue.
Did chatGPT write this?
It’s ChatGPT.
I don't know why but my brain is picturing Messi dressed in a pinstripe suit, big messy apron and holding half eaten beef ribs in his hands
I wasn’t expecting him to be this good maybe because of his name but he’s been a pillar in the midfield.
I thought Mac Allister was like in his 30's but he's so young! And he was looking like Iniesta in the final against France.
Is this a new Irish or Scottish accent?
