🚨🚨| BREAKING: The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) names Lionel Messi — not Rodri — as the 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 🇦🇷🎖️
The IFFHS award contradicts FIFA's Golden Ball award, which went to Rodri. 😳
🚨🇦🇷 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: AFA is considering taking LEGAL ACTION over the misinformation campaign against Argentina and their players during the World Cup.
There could be defamation lawsuits that would focus on false allegations, manipulated or unverified images, and accusations made without evidence.
The Argentina Football Federation will go ALL IN. They will not only target big media outlets, but also accounts on X, IG, and many more outlets.
AFA legal team is collecting evidence, posts, and other material.

🚨🇪🇸🇦🇷 Gavi: “I do NOT think Argentina players should be suspended”.
“I understand that this doesn't present a good image for the children, but football has always had a more aggressive side”.
“I see that everything that happened is part of football”.
🚨🚨 BREAKING: Huge summary of the Julian Alvarez saga:
• In February, Gil Marín promised Julián that he would let him join Barça in the summer. On multiple occasions. Just the two of them during a lunch in Madrid.
• Throughout the season, conversations took place between Simeone, Mateu, Gil Marín… Everyone knew about Julián’s departure.
• They asked Julián to be discreet and professional. The player more than fulfilled that request.
• The player received injections to be able to play on multiple occasions. Simeone didn’t even seem concerned about his condition.
• For more than a year, they kept promising him a contract renewal offer that NEVER came.
• They negotiated with Arsenal and PSG to sell the player. They reached an agreement with Arsenal: €50M + Gyökeres.
• Julián feels betrayed because they promised him Barça, yet negotiated with other clubs.
• They say they don’t want to sell him, but they are trying to use him in the market to sell him and bring in other players by using Julián as part of the deal.
• Barça made a FORMAL offer, above market value. The only club to submit a real offer. They denied that offer (there is proof that it is real).
• Meetings and conversations between Atlético Madrid and Barça for weeks/months, while Atlético publicly denies it but privately negotiates.
- Barça, for Julián’s sake, does not make anything public or speak about everything that is happening.
• They post tweets mocking not only Barça… but also everything they had promised Julián.
• The pressure from Atlético Madrid is so great that, in the middle of a World Cup, the player comes out and speaks, simply to ask for what HE WAS PROMISED.
• Two days before Julián spoke from the World Cup, there were strongly worded messages from Gil Marín to Julián… Julián always replied with education and respect.
• The player and his family have had a VERY difficult time. The club’s media response is an attack on the freedom of a professional, something never seen before.
• Statement from Gil Marín released 48 hours before a World Cup final to destabilize Julián.
• The player cost €75M, and now they can sell him for €100M.
What would a judge say? What would FIFA say? An injunction?
Do they want to retain a worker by relying on an abusive clause that any judge, given the existing reasons, would question?
Gil Marín has turned the will of a worker who always fulfilled his duties and who can generate a financial profit for his club into a personal battle driven by his ego, just to please four fanatics and get four RTs on social media.
