Rivaldo's suspension
"Congratulations, @leomesi, for the excellent performance of all three goals you scored. Reaching 16 goals in the World Cup and equalising Klose's record is something for a few. You're an excellent player on the field and you keep writing memorable chapters in football history.
God continue to bless your life, your family and your career. And above all, always thank God for giving you health, talent and the opportunity to continue to charm the world with your football. God continue to guide your steps and bless every moment of your journey.".
