As a ginger man, I’ve had a lifetime of trying to convince people that ginger’s aren’t actually weird, soulless freaks.
However, this orange haired Argentina substitute has pretty much single-handily lost the entire battle for us. Stupid ginger freak.
🚨 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: FIFA has appointed Slavko Vinčić to officiate the World Cup final despite a disastrous season in Europe.
He is the same referee who allowed Germany’s offside goal against Portugal in the Nations League semifinal, even after VAR flagged it.
He was also arrested at a sex party six years ago where cocaine and firearms were reportedly found.
FIFA is trolling the entire world at this point. 😂

Against Egypt VAR combed every second till they found a foul to disallow Egypt’s goal. Here, VAR ignored Messi stomping on Spence’s foot. Egypt’s foul occurred so far from Argentina’s goal unlike Messi’s which is in England’s box.
🚨 When Rodri and Morata said "Gibraltar is Spanish," they got suspended for one match. 🇪🇸
Haiti was banned from playing with a jersey featuring images of their independence. 🇭🇹
FIFA prohibits mixing politics with football but with Argentina, they will again turn a blind eye. 🇦🇷👀
