Messi in 2019: โThe Copa Amรฉrica and the referees were clearly bought by Brazil. It doesnโt make you want to play.โ
Messi in 2026: โItโs nonsense. Anyone complaining about the refereeing is just crying.โ
๐ค Quite the change in attitude when it suits him.
I think this is the main reason why everyone is so frustrated with the rules of the game. This is a FOUL. Spence beat Messi to the ball and Messi stomps on his foot. FOUL. The play goes on and they end up scoring the winner. No VAR intervention, no mention of it. Goal stands.
๐จ๐ ๐ก๐๐ช: Argentina have committed the most fouls in the tournament so far (90), yet they are receiving just one booking every 15 fouls.
Are Argentina being favored? ๐ค๐ฆ๐ท
๐จTRENDING: More than โฌ42 million of the โฌ300 million Argentina received after winning the 2022 World Cup was diverted to shell companies.
A contract signed just 9 days BEFORE Argentina's World Cup win vs France reportedly gave 30% of the AFA's World Cup revenue to a company called TourProdEnter.
FIFA then allegedly transferred the World Cup funds directly to that company, which reportedly has NO links to football.

Argentina big 2014 FSU energy. Defending champs, screw around until the final minutes, elite talent infuriatingly turns it on and wins to the frustration of everyone.
๐บ๐ธ For a tournament that started with so much promise, the United States journey at the World Cup ends exactly where it did in 2022, 2014 and 2010: The round of 16.
This loss, unlike the others, was an ass-whooping.
At a home World Cup... this is a disappointment.
No need for US to beat itself up over World Cup exit, even if the manner of it was deflating after such a bright group phase. Something special has happened to the game in America at this tournament. Thousands and thousands of boys and girls will be inspired to watch and play.
