Lionel Messi wins the World Cup and shuts up his critics once and for all!

Leaving behind an?immortal legacy , Lionel Messi has ended his World Cup Football endeavors. He has done it on the highest high possible, as Argentina’s crowned king of the World. The adopted successor of Diego Maradona lives up to the master’s reputation, leaving behind folklore to be retold for generations ahead.

With yesterday’s accomplishment, what Lionel Messi has achieved is the icing on a career already worth boasting of. The Argentinian has left the GOAT debate to dust by having a much bigger trophy to back his argument. Christiano Ronaldo will never have what Messi has just achieved and will always be in that shadow. Lots will be talked about in the future about Kylian Mbappe though, a true Champion who rises for the occasion. With a World Cup already in his cabinet, it is in one way bittersweet for fans that Mbappe missed out this year.

Suriname?a.k.a Narco Saints is a?Korean?series directed and co-written by?Yoon Jong-bin, starring?Ha Jung-woo,?Hwang Jung-min,?Park Hae-soo,?Jo Woo-jin,?Yoo Yeon-Seok, and?Nubel Feliz Yan.

Based on true events, the series depicts an ordinary entrepreneur who has no choice but to risk his life by joining the secret mission of government agents to capture a Korean drug lord operating in?Suriname, a small country on the northeastern coast of South America.?

The show was released in 2022, alongside an?English?dub?renamed?Narco-Saints, in drawing similarities to Netflix's previous similarly-premised series?Narcos?(2015–2017) and?Narcos: Mexico?(2018–2021). We suggest you watch the show in Korean with English subtitles for the best viewing experience.

The six episodes take us through the exhilarating journey of Kang In-gu (Ha Jung-woo), a civilian businessman left with no choice but to cooperate with the secret operation of the?National Intelligence Service?to catch Jeon Yo-hwan (Hwang Jung-min), the Korean drug lord who has taken control of?Suriname.
