Infantino has effectively told Argentina that any punishment for displaying the Malvinas banner would only come after the World Cup. He even defended it as a legitimate expression of nationalism.
Now FIFA has seemingly cleared the path for them to display it again during the tournament without immediate consequences especially if they win the trophy.
Different rules for different teams. Argentina do whatever they want, while FIFA looks the other way.
The connection between FIFA and Argentina becomes harder to ignore with every passing day.
They can keep the trophy. Respect cannot be handed out by referees, VAR or football executives.
@machornet1978@caribbeanpotter Thats the bit of the setup he seemed to miss, even just something to make them think takes some pressure off, and it would be doing the job.
@iam_commando Interpreting that way is being weird. He had a great game. Then let down by a squad who gave up possession and challenge for relentless pressure. He's celebrating his achievements which if you speak to sports psychologists is one of the most important things to do as a pro.
@matt59876@Baddiel I think i could show 10000 group chats between watchers declaring at the exact moment konsa comes on for Gordon that we've lost the match. Its not hindsight its foresight from actually watching football.
@Taity813112@Baddiel Someone who can hold the ball further up the pitch is probably the answer rather than someone who cant hold the ball closer to our goal.
@BenW_03 Biggest problem with itv for me is that they stream live on the TV app but instead have to do a weird cast from my phone that the newest feature is that it cuts out intermittently
@guinevere_86157@JamesMelville@destinyilo Yes but also.. its mildly complicated so dont expect you to understand it really but people can be more than one thing and mean more than one thing when they say words that mean things. But I guess that is tough to understand.
