Time to say alvida and adeus

You don’t want Greatest Of All Time to become Get Out It’s Time. Don’t be that life of the party who overstays his welcome.

Oye Virat, ola Cristiano, hello…kya haal hai, wassup and como vai. I don’t quite know how to begin this conversation, without treading on both your collective toes, you both are proud patriotic men, so what I wish to say will get both your backs up.
I know there’s all this talk of “listening to your inner voice, your bodies will speak to you,” but I’d also urge you to listen to the outer conversation. It’s kind of been said for a while now: “Time to exit, dudes”. Look guys, I know you will fight me tooth and nail, arrogantly dismiss my POV, I mean, admittedly you’re both legends, debatably GOATS… though Virat you’re nowhere close up against Viv Richards, and Cristiano gotta win a FIFA bro, in my book. Messi has, Maradona has and Pele has.
