It's easier to say you hate it then to admit that you created it.

— The biggest refereeing scandal in Champions League history… Chelsea 2009.

— The biggest refereeing corruption scandal in La Liga history… Negreira.

— One of the biggest refereeing controversies in Copa América history.

— One of the biggest refereeing controversies in World Cup history.

— The most controversial Ballon d’Or decisions.

— The most controversial FIFA The Best awards.

And somehow, all of these major controversies are linked to the same player, Lionel Messi

[𝐊𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐢𝐋🥷 @khalilogyigo]

La Coupe du monde la plus controversée de tous les temps est celle du Qatar 2022.
La campagne la ligue des champions la plus truquée de tous les temps c’est celle du Barça 2009.
Les Ballon d'Or les plus controversés de tous les temps- 2010, 2021 et 2023.
Le plus gros corrompu de l’histoire du football est celui de Negreira.

Leur seul point commun c’est Messi, ce joueur a été carry toute sa carrière !

🚨 Argentina could become the first team in World Cup history to reach the semifinals without facing a single opponent ranked inside the FIFA top 10! 🇦🇷

[Polymarket Sports @PolymarketSport]

🚨Argentina have reached the last 8 at the World Cup without beating a team ranked better than 23rd in the World:

🇩🇿Algeria (29th)
🇦🇹Austria (23rd)
🇯🇴Jordan (73rd)
🇨🇻Cabo Verde (64th)
🇪🇬Egypt (24th)

🚨 NO WAY OUT FOR FIFA NOW! 😳

After the final whistle, Egypt's coach, Hossam Hassan, made harsh criticisms.

🗣️ "I'm going to say what I think regardless of the consequences. This was clearly a manipulated match, and the whole world saw it."

🗣️ "And I want to say one more thing: if they want Argentina to win so badly, why do they invite everyone to come and participate?"

[COKE❄️ @0xcoked]

So
1) Argentina gets a joke group with easiest matchup path in elimination stage
2) All the referees are not allowed to use VAR to penalize Argentina, but even sneezing on the pitch gives Messi a penalty
3) All the referees in France vs Morocco final are Argentinian
4) Slapping an Egyptian player didn't give a VAR review or red card.
5) Tripping Egyptian player in penalty box didn't give a single VAR review, let alone the warranted penalty.

Yeah FIFA is corrupt AF lmfao this is straight banana republic mode

[Nobody @dharnyyoung]

This is not just Twitter agenda. Argentina got to the final in 2014 and not a single soul accused them of corruption. 2018, nothing. But something changed in 2022 and 4 years later, we are still hearing the same song. Trust me, there will be a Netflix special on this in 10 years. The truth will come out one day. Whatever it is. ✌️

Ronaldo is about to face Spain for the 4th time in 6 World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026

He has also faced Brazil in 2010, Germany in 2014, and England in 2006.

Meanwhile Messi has played 6 World Cups and still hasn’t faced Spain, England, Brazil, or Italy once.

But we’re supposed to pretend the paths are the same?

[SENYO @Senyyo]

Calling out the hypocrisy of so called football pundit Thierry henry. In this UCL against Barca, when Atletico Madrid took a goalkick & their defender touched the ball again to restart the play, Henry said it should have been a penalty. In post match CBS analysis he went to lengths to explain how "rules are rules and context does not matter". He even had a bullying argument with CBS rules analyst Christina Unkel who kept on reiterating that context matters.

Coming back to Leo Messi foul against Algeria, Thierry went against his own philosophy of rules are important than intent & said that intent is important & it shouldn't have been a red card.

Thierry Henry, a great football legend, who is suppose to be unbiased as a football pundit, is changing his philosophy to support Barca when he wants & to support Messi when he likes.

Shameless hypocrite.

Germany scapegoated Ozil for the group stage elimination at the FIFA WC 2018 just because he was a Turkish Muslim. They forced their captain Gundogan who is a Muslim to put on a public statement before the match along with his team for the human rights in Qatar despite him not wanting to do it along with the few other players.

Suddenly as the World Cup is being held in USA, their captain Joshua Kimmich says that the team is not interested in politics despite teams getting last minute visas, some players and refs not even getting it along with the fans.

Germany is by far the most hypocritical nation in the world.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Yesterday’s refereeing was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

For the first 15 minutes, the ref fell for Arsenal’s shenanigans: blowing a foul for every slight fall and every little touch. Then, all of a sudden, he clocked their dirty antics and took complete control of the game.

He stopped buying their silly theatrics: Mosquera time wasting, Havertz falling at every slight touch, Saka wasting time for the corner, Arteta touchline tantrums, Madueke diving. I can go on and on

Arsenal have become so used to getting away with this cunning stuff from Premier League refs that they seemed genuinely shocked when it didn’t work.

I’m glad the referee refused to be intimidated and stood his ground. That’s how you referee a final.

You might con your way to a Premier League title, but you can’t do it in the UCL. Either you play like real men or go home

[mufcytp @mufcytp]

It is extremely rare for me to applaud a referee, but hats off to Daniel Siebert.

He was spot on not to award Arsenal a penalty for Madueke’s fall inside the box.

Slow down the replay and watch it again. Madueke was the one pulling Mendes' arm, and he was already going down looking for contact.

If anything, it should have been a free kick to PSG. Brilliant officiating from the referee.

[E @Ellis_]

They won the Premier League after 22 years and even BBC made an article yesterday showcasing all of the fraudulent decisions that went their way.

They tried to cheat their way to their first ever Champions League in their existence and it was one of their most cockiest players that fucked it all up.

I love this game.

[foland (fan) @propsMCFC]

disgusting.

thank you for saving football PSG.

[Nawab Hassan Hussein Qureshi @HtotheQ]

Arsenal's owners and board decided to sack a long serving kit man because he spoke up for Palestine. They decided to give their sleeve sponsorship to an Israeli company that proudly supports the IDF.
They can fuck off.

[Jeffrey Boadi @jeffreyboadi_]

I honestly believe loads of people wouldn’t dislike Arsenal if they played good football - but as a neutral it’s hard to root for a team that launches bombs to their front man, adopts timewasting tactics and puts 11 men behind the ball.

They didn’t even TRY to play football tonight for 97% of the game.

Some of my favourite Prem players of all time have played for Arsenal - Cazorla, Bergkamp etc.

But I’m sorry, that was a little bit like watching Wrexham or Swindon 🤢

Best team won the trophy
