You must've stumbled upon a social media football post, whether on Instagram, TikTok, X, or Facebook, that catches your fancy. 

You immediately tap open Comment to read some random fan comments and enjoy a moment of banter.

Giggling sheepishly at those amusing opinions and responses while scrolling, FIAM! The language changes.

You start seeing comments like:

"We got Messi vs. Lamine Yamal playing Finalissimo before GTA 6?"

"No way we got Messi to win the Copa America, two in a row, and the World Cup in between before GTA 6?"

"We got Arder Güler to win the Champions League before GTA 6."

"We got Di Maria retiring from international football before GTA 6."

"We got Messi joining Intermiami before GTA VI."

And so on.

You feel isolated. Lost and confused. But to your surprise, a host of other football fans are reacting and getting along with the trend.

I'll explain. Stay calm and read on.

What's GTA, and what's GTA 6?

GTA stands for Grand Theft Auto. It's an action-adventure video game series that focuses on a virtual world. 

Players of this game can complete missions to progress as well as engage in various side activities.

GTA 6? This is the most anticipated series of Grand Theft Auto games. The latest series, "Grand Theft Auto V," has been released since 2013.

Why do football fans comment about GTA 6?

Following the widespread acceptance of the GTA V, or Grand Theft Auto V, the company Rockstar Games said in 2014 they had some ideas for the series next entry, which is the GTA VI, also known as GTA 6. 

This revelation quickly escalated among gamers who thought the new entry would have much more stunning details.

In 2018, Rockstar Games allegedly reported the series would be out and would be set primarily in Vice City with a female protagonist, but they failed.

In 2020, journalist Jason Schreiber reported that the game was early in development.

In 2022, Schreiber added that GTA 6 had entered development and would feature a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired protagonist. They still failed!

The company has been on the same cock-and-bull story since 2014, up until the time of writing this piece in 2024.

There haven't been any official announcements, but there are tons of wild hopes and speculations.

This continued silence makes some GTA fans feel the series entry could be a myth, wrapped in an enigma, and shrouded in mystery.

Hence, gamers and a large chunk of football fans who are tired of waiting and frustrated by Rockstar Games's cockiness start poking fun at the company's failure.

So the football fans commenting "blah blah before GTA 6" are mostly people who are frustrated by Rockstar Games failure to abide by their promise, which is to release Grand Theft Auto VI (6).

What does 'We got Lamine Yamal winning Euro before GTA 6 mean?'

Lamine Yamal was born on July 13, 2007. The GTA 6 entry hit the waves in 2014. So it's surprising to watch a boy who was only six years old or less at the time mature into a professional football player, leading Spain into their fourth European football title and racking up the most assists, best goal of the tournament, and Young Player of the Tournament, while GTA 6 still remains unreleased.
