as a minority, people getting offended on behalf of minorities just for the sake of it are so annoying. They wanna appear morally superior so bad. Like, calm down, not everyone is a dick and you automatically assuming it actually casts you in a bad light.

yessss, thats very important. Great analysis! Same reason why they teach you to head against the direction the goalie is coming from. You catch them on the wrong foot, meaning they have to take an extra step

Do you know how wide a football goal is? :D
With that speed and precision he would have to move beforehand, which would leave the other side completely open and would look beyond stupid since Messi of course can shoot to the other side too (which he often did).

Its not that Messi and Robben and others always do the same move and every opposition is dumb for not defending. Its the precision and speed that makes it undefendable.

No one can take away from Lukaku his performance in the World Cup against Belgium.
