Messi lost the 2007 Copa América final.
He lost the 2014 World Cup final.
He lost the 2015 Copa América final.
He lost the 2016 Copa América final.
Back then, nobody was calling him “FIFA’s favorite.” They mocked him, said he was finished with Argentina, that he only performed for Barcelona because of Xavi and Iniesta.
Then he won the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 World Cup, and the 2024 Copa América.
Suddenly he’s “FIFA’s favorite.”
The hypocrisy is obvious. Losing? He’s a failure. Winning? It’s because he’s protected. The goalposts never stop moving.
Roy Keane on Egypt manager making the crossed-arms gesture during the Argentina match:
🗣"I didn't like it one bit. That gesture is there for serious cases of racism, not because you're frustrated with refereeing decisions. You don't use something that important to make a point after a football match.
He kept claiming Egypt were robbed, but when you actually look at the decisions, the referee got them right. As a manager, you have a responsibility to understand the Laws of the Game before you start pointing fingers.
Instead of accepting defeat, he created unnecessary drama. That's not leadership. He should be setting an example for his players, not making excuses after the final whistle."
🚨🗣️Jürgen Klopp: "The Egypt game? I don't know what the fuss is all about. It was a perfectly officiated game. I even spoke to Salah about it and he was embarrassed by the behaviour of his coach & teammates after the game. Messi changed the game & showed why he is the best ever"
Roy Keane blast Hossam Hassan's(Egypt's Manager) on claim that Argentina were favoured because of World Cup marketing:
🗣️ "That's the sort of excuse you expect from supporters after a bad night, not from a national team manager. If your team throws away a 2–0 lead late in the game, the first place you should be looking is in the mirror.
Every time Messi wins, people start talking about conspiracies instead of football. It's lazy. Accept the defeat, analyse what went wrong, and improve your team.
Blaming referees and claiming the tournament is a marketing scheme doesn't change the fact that your side couldn't see the game out. That's not the mentality a national team manager should have. Leaders take responsibility,they don't look for excuses."
No había podido ver está jugada en la cual Egipto reclamaba penal desde este ángulo.
Acá se nota clarísimo que es el jugador egipcio el que choca el pie del jugador Argentino, probablemente con la intención de dejarse caer al perder la pelota.
NO HAY FALTA!
This is the coach that said the World Cup is rigged.
Him against Iran.
When it favors you, there’s no rig but once it’s against you, then it’s rig.
Typical Ronaldo delusional fans mentality. 😂😂😂
