When LeBron James’ Son Bronny Revealed His Soccer GOAT

Bronny put the post on Instagram Story while watching the pre-game coverage, and he included a picture featuring the goat emoji on top of Neymar, thus bypassing the age-old discussion of Messi versus Ronaldo that defines most soccer conversations.

Neymar’s comeback itself meant something special that day, coming in the wake of an injury-plagued period that had seen Neymar away from his country team.

The comeback to the international scene added a bit of gravity to Bronny’s shoutout, going beyond just a social media shoutout.

Basketball continues to define most of Bronny’s career at the moment. He enters his second year playing in the NBA for the Lakers, having been selected by them at number 55 in the 2024 draft from USC, and his 2.3 million salary for 2026-27 is now guaranteed.

In the previous season, he scored 2.9 points and made 1.2 assists per game in 42 games, sharing time with the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

However, away from basketball courts, the loyalties of this son of one of the greatest basketball players transcend beyond his father’s beloved sport.

While Bronny selected his soccer idol during a random Wednesday night television program, the significance of this particular World Cup is about to hit home.

Everything To Know About Today’s World Cup Final

Today, Argentina faces Spain in their encounter in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where they kick off at 3 PM ET at MetLife Stadium. It is the first-ever time the top two sides in the FIFA world ranking have ever faced each other in the final of a World Cup.

The Argentine team arrives at this match as the champions looking to clinch their fourth star, while Spain seeks their second World Cup trophy as they come as the European champions.

The two countries have faced each other in the World Cup only once before, in 1966 when Argentina won 2-1.

This match features two opposing qualities. While Argentina has the most lethal offensive force in the tournament with 19 goals, Spain has the best defense in the World Cup, conceding just one goal after seven games.

Another layer of intrigue that this match provides is its generational clash, featuring Messi, who at 39 years old is playing his last World Cup, against Yamal, who at 19 years old emerged as a superstar.
