Barcelona star Lamine Yamal says Cristiano Ronaldo is the definition of aura in football
It's just crazy to imagine the impact Cristiano Ronaldo continues to have on the new generation
Everyone says FIFA favors Messiβ¦ Joe says itβs actually Ronaldo.
Trevor: This tournament has a lot of people feeling like itβs scripted.
Trevor: There are many people who feel like Argentina and Lionel Messi are the darlings of FIFA⦠and Infantino does everything in his power to make sure they have an easy path in the tournament.
Joe: I disagree.
Trevor: You disagree because you love Messi.
Joe: No, I disagree because of facts. Argentina was supposed to play either Spain or Uruguayβ¦ but Uruguay bottled it. Football isnβt scripted. The big teams mess up. Argentina takes care of business.
Joe: So now, when you talk about Messiβ¦ this is going to sound biased, but if anythingβ¦
Joe: FIFA favors Ronaldo.
Trevor: Wow.
Joe: Ronaldo got a red card before the World Cup. He was supposed to have an automatic three-match ban.
Joe: But what did FIFA do? They gave him one match and suspended the other two.
Trevor: Youβre right. Weβve never had a suspended sentence in football. Cristiano Ronaldo is the first recipient.
Joe: Imagine if Messi had received that preferential treatment.
