Quite literally insane how easy it is to manipulate the truth by mass media when people are blinded by xenophobic hate.
Argentine hate has become so irrationally accepted that virtually every single news outlet did not fact check with IFAB. Truly unbelievable times we live in.
🚨🇦🇷 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.

the fact that the woke crowd doesn't realise that is baffling to me.
Spain can commit 21 fouls in the world cup final and still be called classy while Argentina gets called scum and thugs for committing just 3 more
England can park the bus against Mexico and Argentina but Ghana and Paraguay are "anti football" for employing the same tactics
It's elitist and xenophobic
🇦🇷 The hate against Messi came out of nowhere, and it has nothing to do with football.
Here's what's actually going on...
Messi lifted the World Cup in December 2022 and the entire planet lost its mind celebrating.
Three and a half years later, a chunk of the internet suddenly decided he's a villain.
Nothing on the pitch changed. Same guy, same career, twenty years of footage anyone can check in under a minute.
What changed is the feed. Villain edits started outperforming legend edits and the algorithm noticed.
A 2018 MIT study tracked 126,000 claims across 3 million X users. False stories spread six times faster than true ones and got retweeted 70% more often. Outrage simply beats accuracy at getting attention.
None of this needs a single big lie either. Illusory truth effect: see a claim enough times and it starts feeling true even when you know it's false, and the effect survives fact checks.
Football is basically the most documented thing on earth. Every match, every angle, every ref decision, all archived. The narrative still won anyway.
If the algorithm can flip public opinion on the most watched athlete alive, it can flip it on anyone with no footage to fall back on.

La cantidad de videos que circulan con insultos, burlas y agresiones hacia los argentinos es increíble, y ahí es donde me pregunto, ¿por qué no salen a repudiar estos comportamientos violentos y xenófobos cuando los argentinos somos los destinatarios?
Viralicen esto también, porque, si de verdad se condena la xenofobia, debería condenarse sin importar quién sea la víctima o quién la cometa.
Pero claro, cuando es contra Argentina, pareciera que para muchos deja de importar.
En españa durante la final del mundial agredieron a un trabajador argentino por tener puesta la camiseta de la Selección Argentina.
Ven? Nos acusaron de todo y en realidad siempre fue una proyección de lo que realmente son ellos.
All of a sudden its not a world cup rigged for Argentina and Messi. Its a fair world cup. I would never ever forgive these Ronaldo and seasonal fans for ruining this world cup. Petty to the core. Cant achieve anything wont let others enjoy either.
